Introducing Flex Template Language - a serverless real estate development platform

We are proud to announce the launch of Flex Template Language: a real estate website development platform. Open to all real estate companies, web developers and listing management systems. It is a game changer for the real estate industry, in that it provides more control for custom real estate website development, and opens up the platform to all web developers.


Developed over a period of a year by Entegral, the new product is built on the latest AWS cloud technologies and provides a completely new way to build and host real estate websites.

A new way of building custom websites

FlexTL reduces the complexity of building real estate websites by shifting the focus from backend code and integration to focusing on the front-end. It allows for highly fine-tuned responsive front-ends to be developed using the Flex Template Language Framework. It also provides an admin interface which provides online access to website setup functions and even front-end source code.

Use any management system

Listings are received via Sync (Listing Syndication Platform), allowing integration with Base, OMS and any listing system that develops the integration with Sync. It provides real estate organisations and listing management systems owners a way to extend their platforms by offering custom or template real estate websites to their client base.

Serverless hosting
In a first for the real estate industry, serverless real estate websites are now offered as a standard hosting option. Websites are not hosted on a single server, but rather on a range of Amazon AWS cloud services. It provides unmatched durability, availability, and scalability, irrespective of the number of visitors a website receives. It furthermore provides SSL and CDN support as an option.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

What is the Base Zapier integration? The Entegral Base system was recently improved with a native Zapier app integration . This allows estate agents to exchange data and create automated workflows with over 2000+ popular apps, including all the leading CRM specific apps.  Why even link a CRM system? Although Base has contact management, contact categories, automatic lead import, and other great CRM features , users sometimes require very specific CRM functions that we don't (yet) cater to. With our Zapier integration , we allow agents to link any popular app with Base. Once linked with your app, you can for instance automatically synchronise your contacts from Base to the external app or vice versa.  The added benefit is that you can create automated workflows and link more apps (e.g. insert contact details into a Mailchimp drip email campaign  and ZOHO CRM at the same time). This makes the Zapier fee irreverent compared to the derived benefits.  Automated portal lead import from

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Property24.com, South Africa’s largest property portal owned by Naspers, has bought rival Private Property . The deal is likely to come under the close scrutiny of competition authorities as it involves the two biggest property portals in the country. Due to the impact of such an acquisition on the industry, Entegral was interested to find out what the perceived advantages and disadvantages of such a deal would be, both through the eyes of the consumer and the estate agent.   Here are the results from around 250 responses received on a survey done over a 2 day period , mostly from agents and agency owners. While the survey presents a small portion of the market (a ccording to the EAAB's latest annual report there are 19,424 registered agents and agency owners, excluding intern estate agents, in South Africa) , f eedback has been received from well-respected agency owners and agents, and we believe this gives a good indication of the current view of agents. The fear from estate
