MyProperty South Africa - tweaked home page

Last year we introduced our new MyProperty South Africa property portal, that runs on our Flex Template Language real estate platform. FlexTL is a unique serverless real estate platform that allows for the rapid development of real estate websites of any size, and even allows you to use your own developers.

Since the launch we've been hard at work with some fine tuning, brain storming new functionality and coding enhancements for incremental roll-outs this year.

Today we've updated the home page which aims to highlight some key features:

  • The integrated Google search is kept. It allows you to type in any location in South Africa, and the system will search for properties in a radius around that point, allowing buyers to find more listings in the same area. 
  • A neighborhood feature highlights selected areas and gives insight into popular areas in South Africa including photos, map, latest listings and agents. This is already the largest selection of neighborhood info and photos for a South African portal, and we are hoping to expand this further for 2019 including enhancing the info we provide per area.
  • Connect with a neighborhood expert, features agents that were picked from our unique Neighborhood Expert program that we are busy launching and aims to promote top agents in areas. At the end of 2018 more than 200 agents submitted their initial area expertise which was loaded on the portal, and prominently features the agents in their respective areas. We will soon open more functionality and allow agents to interactively submit their local area knowledge. We value the role of the agent, and why we are the only portal with an agents only approach!
  • The latest property news is also featured on the home page. New property news is loaded daily on our portal and we encourage you to subscribe or follow us on Twitter and Facebook to stay updated and join in the conversation. Also check out our popular Instagram account!


Check out the updated home page and watch our for more features rolling out soon!
And for the record, MyProperty is still independently owned by Entegral, read more about our core values and mission here.

Easily link Base with external CRM systems

Image
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 l...

Property24 acquires Private Property, what do estate agents think?

Image
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 ...

Tenant applications can take up a considerable amount of admin time. This includes getting the application, managing it somewhere centrally, and keeping it safe for further access. We had a look at how we could not only streamline and optimise this process but also develop an integrated tenant application module. The result of this is our newly launched optional tenant application for your Flex website (available in standard and premium packages). Integrated  Tenant Application wizard for Flex Once enabled, an integrated tenant application link will show on all your rental listings like this: You can see it in action on this sample rental property on our Flex Bold demo site.
