Customise your real estate website search with Flex

If you need a more personalised search experience for your real estate website visitors, Flex may just be the perfect platform for you.


With Flex you can customise your property search as follows:
  • Add or remove any fields in the search
  • Customise the property types, statuses and even price ranges available
  • Add custom search fields that you configure in Base and your agents can use
Depending on the market you operate in, you may require something simpler or more advanced. Here are 3 great examples:

1. Simplified search with price brackets, beds and location - minimum user friction.

Rental property search made easy:



Another example of a simplified property search for commercial:



2. More advanced with extra toggle fields added



3. Custom fields from Base listings powering this search with specific dropdown options:






What will it cost to customise my property search?
Small search changes will just take an hour or two to do while more complex changes will take longer. Enquire with our team to get a quote for your website. Changes can be done on Flex template or custom websites.

What else can I customise?
Flex allows you to customise any part of your website, not just the front page as with many other real estate website platforms. To do this you need to switch to our custom hosting solution (carries a higher hosting fee) and you are then able to change layouts and even add additional functionality. You can for instance change the look and feel of the property search results and property details.

Note your home page and additional content pages can be added on standard templates, so you don't need to move to a custom solution for this.

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.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
