Australian Property Monitors Worpdress Widget

We’ve been working closely with Australian Property Monitors to develop a Worpdress real estate widget which allows real estate agents to display property sales data alongside their property listings. You can check out a live example of the plugin at this Colliers website we recently launched http://www.investassured.com.au/125423.

The widget displays a summary of sales statistics for the suburb the property is located in along with a flash enabled graph for median house and unit prices over the past 10 years. In the demographics tab you’ll find handy information regarding the demographics of that suburb.

This plugin will work on any WordPress website so contact Agentpoint or APM for further information.

  • Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
  • Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
  • Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.

Can’t wait for wp 2.9 they are currently beta testing it so Agentpoint will get involved with that.

The client had recently upgraded their website but now required a blog to take advantage of Web 2.0 and in particular Social Networking.

We built a blog and attached it to the Market News section of their existing website making sure it is identical to the original site. Users can jump between sites and have know idea they are ever leaving the original real estate website.

The blog synchronizes with Twitter creating tweets for every post created and utilizes the other search engine friendly WordPress features including tags, categories and meta tag creation.

Units Agency

Units Agency is an agency attempting to carve its way a niche in units & apartments for sale across Sydney. It’s a very crisp and clean design which was created by the client and converted into the current website by Agentpoint.

It uses a large amount of Javascript to hide/display information which is viewable on demand by the user. There is a nifty Share plugin which allows website users to quickly share the website or property pages with Social Networks. It users the majority of the other real estate widgets and plugins developed by Agentpoint.
