Richardson & Wrench Seaforth/Balgowlah came to Agentpoint needing a entire online marketing solution. There website uses the Zoo Property listing system along with all of our juicy WordPress plugins. One of the goals for the website was to automate the building of the clients enquiry database. To do this we build a plugin which remits all enquiry details back into the client’s CRM system so they’re sure all contacts are added.

The property page includes all of the usual groovy widgets including mortgage calculators, stamp duty calculators, suburb profile, google map, latest sales, similar listings and favourites widget. Make sure you look at the search results page and how we have synchronized the search results filter with the quick search.

Capital Property Advisory

Capital Property Advisory is Australia’s leading independent residential property advisory firm. They came to Agentpoint requiring a website which could showcase their skills and experience in this area. Although we were not responsible for the design we did transform the psd design into a wordpress website.

We built a small wordpress plugin which popups when users first land on the homepage and prompts them to subscribe to the latest property advisory news. The plugin is working well and is allow Capital Property Advisory to build their database.

Atwell & Co

Atwell & Co are a real estate agency based in Melbourne, Australia. They had an existing website which wasn’t flexible and was very poorly optimised for search engines. We ported the website across to WordPress keeping the original design and style.

This is the first real estate website built using our newly launched property listing software Zoo Property. The site also uses the latest in our WordPress technology which was built specifically to synchronise with Zoo Property. What is great about our new technology is that we do not need to host the site or application meaning website owners have the freedom to move the site at their convenience.

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.
