Our fully featured Real Estate Management Portal developed for the International Community for Real Estate Management has sure benefits for the publicity of your business. In detail, I would give you a concise overview of what the web portal offers to you; the benefits of using our portal to support your business publicity; who you are in competition with; the advantages our portal has over that of your competitors and the disadvantages of using a simple website compared to our portal.

Overview:
The Real Estate Web Portal allows you to list the properties you have for Sale and Rent in as many categories as you desire. If your business niche is that of Flats and different sized Apartments, you can customize your website to suit that purpose and provide information for properties in those categories. Whatever your Real Estate business may need, this web portal solution has it contained therein.

Find the benefits of using our Real Estate Management Web Portal below:

Benefits:

1.   Upload detailed information of your properties either in a rent or sale category and find them listed on Google® in just 3 – 6 weeks after setup.

2.   Increase your ranking on Internet Search Engines by using powerful tools such as Google® Map (which visitors of your website can use to determine the location of the property listed) and Gallery for each property (when visitors find your site on Google®, they can also come from the pool of photo galleries you uploaded to your website).

3.   Visitors can aid your publicity with the Recommend to a friend function. The simple principle is that when a visitor develops interest in your property and recommends it to a friend, it makes your website more popular.

4.   Visitors can compare the properties they are viewing with other properties at the same time and help themselves make the right choice with this useful tool.

5.   Visitors can request for more information on the property of their choice by using the Contact function by the property.

6.   The front end navigation includes tools such as:

a.   Top Sales – This environment automatically sorts out the highest ranking properties for sale when a visitor clicks the link. This aids the publicity of such properties. For instance, if you sell houses a lot cheaper in Victoria Island Lagos, visitors who find the property from a search engine can talk about your Agency in a web forum. This gives your business image a definition online.

b.   Newest Properties – If you have new properties for sale, this web portal doesn’t just add them to the index; it gives them a priority listing in this environment. When a visitor clicks the link, the newest properties you added are listed on the website. This gives your Searching Engine listing the ability to have nothing missed out. So, even if you add new properties everyday, they have the potential to sell everyday as well.

c.   Top Properties – This environment is a bit different from Top Sales. This time, not just the highest ranking properties for sale but also for rent. Also, this lists the most viewed and valued property on the website. This goes as far as speculating high ranks from the views of property galleries, general map focus analysis and recommendations.

d.   Search – This tool allows you to simply search for properties with any specification contained therein. Search can also be carried out in the Searches column of the web portal for quick browsing.

e.   Contact – This allows the visitor to send general contact messages to your Agency for your feedback.

7.   The administration environment has the following sections for management of the web portal solution.

a.   Properties – This section contains links to options for managing properties, general settings, adding and removing properties and their categories.

b.   Content – You can change almost anything in the web portal from here. This includes the language of the website. This section contains links to general website settings, and technical settings for the web server store. You can also manage contact requests for properties from the web portal. 

c.   Admin – This environment allows you to manage the administrator settings of the website for the administrator accounts and set privileges as well. The primary administrator account can change almost anything but the other accounts can be created most probably for your Staff.

Competitors:
You are in competition with only a few other Agents who however are making waves in the Real Estate business. I have to mention Dapoolaiya Consulting who already has an Estate Solution online located at www.dapoolaiya.com. Their website is far more basic than this web portal.

Advantages of using our Portal:

1.    As a less dense section of the Internet for Nigerian Real Estate Agents, you have the chance to stand and dominate others who would come in future to list properties.

2.    No more paying consultants’ fees for doing the work. Let the web portal do the work on its own with our support for publicity.

3.    Easy web administration and portal upgrade. You can add more pages and administer them from here.

4.    For the more pages you may need to add, web design is free for the first time of your request just in case you want to add a simple website to the solution.

Disadvantages of where you are; something simpler:

1.   Trusting Consultants? They are separate businesses who do not have the balance of the risk of your traffic control through them. Some other agent may just list better than you in a public listing. Your own web portal is different as it has your branding and information that serve as a signature to your business image growth.

2.   Considering a simple website? Updating and publicity control are two factors that would cost you money. In most cases, you may have to redesign the website to add new features. In terms of publicity, you have to wait for Search Engines to appreciate new versions of your website as you develop them.

3.   Depending on manual methods? If you expect just your current niche to find you then there you are and there you shall always be. This is simply because whatever goes around comes around. If you are considering increasing your target niches far and wide from the local communities, to the nation and worldwide, then consider a web presence with a portal like ours. 

This web portal has already been developed but is currently being upgraded. Therefore, the online demonstration is not available. When the online demonstration is available, you would be notified by a post to Our Group.
