The site collects, categorizes and manages a range of information such as
property data, documents, brochures, floor plans, virtual tours and visitor data.

 

Time-saving features include automatic resizing of photographs for the website and creation of PDF brochures.

 

Consistency of information and message across media is ensured by
having the brochures generated directly off the archive database

 

Specific properties can be highlighted or showcased.

 

Features can be customized for each property – e.g. “swimming pool” is a generic feature
but can be customized as “Olympic-size” swimming pool for relevant properties.

 

Ongoing contact with the visitor is maintained through a newsletter system with personalized newsletters
based on interest and geo-targeting to specific regional markets.

 

Each property can be linked to a specific agent, ensuring that e-mails reach the right agents
and can therefore be responded to promptly, accurately and completely.

 

The system also handles internal look-ups on Managing Agents and owners.
