Dynamic, interactive online solution used by estate agents to stake key positions within the market
Web site hosting and domain registration specialist, Internet Online, has burst onto the property market with www.propweb.co.za. This unique hosting package and web site solution is expected to help estate agents open doors within this competitive market.
Julian Sher, technical director at Internet Online, says the solution was developed to be a virtual assistant and agency marketing tool for estate agents.
“This is a fully dynamic solution for an estate agency with a need for a website. Let us say you had an estate agency with no web site and you wanted to market your business. One can make use of the solution and organise for all particulars to be applied on a web site. The user can modify all featured text including new agents, areas of business, locations and other relevant property details, all of which can be accommodated with ease. To do this, one simply enters the administration section and adds relevant details. These changes are immediately visible on the web site.”
Internet Online offers this service with specified e-mail addresses. Users can load as much relevant property details as they wish, and the cost to use the solution is R500 per month. There is also a set up fee, which is dependant on company specific requests and is expected to be in the region of between R1 400 and R1 800. Because the system is rented and not purchased, there is free continuous development and no capital outlay.
The set-up fee is for Internet Online to install and customise the solution, sit down with a client and train an administrator.
The company sees this web site as an ongoing project that will eventually develop into a virtual tool to help ease the process of buying and selling property. It is envisaged that all parties involved, from the agency to the attorneys through to the buyer, will benefit from being able to keep tabs on the entire process of sale.
Says Sher, “The web site is continually being developed and there are always new features being added. Eventually, we expect that each web site will become a portal through which one is able to purchase property through an agency. The agency works in conjunction with legal representatives as far as the transfer and administration is concerned, and the buyer has the ability to view and keep track of all developments.”
Internet Online boasts a range of hosting packages that are tailor-made to manage variable web-hosting requirements.
“We host web sites for individuals, web developers, resellers, and companies large and small world-wide who demand high quality, fast and reliable web hosting. All hosting packages are e-commerce enabled allowing you to accept credit card transactions from your web site.”
