New “world-first” website aims for global reach
Jul 21, 2010 | Comments 0
An Australian company has developed a world-first Internet platform to help real estate agents market their properties globally.
ListGlobally.com acts as a hub for real estate agents to list their offerings on multiple websites around the world.
Rather than agents having to list properties separately across many sites, they can instead send the data to the new site, which will then post the properties on many real estate portals.
The product is the brainchild of former realestate.com.au boss, Simon Baker, who says no one has previously done a deal with market-leading sites and then put the technology in place to syndicate listings.
“The beauty of these products is that you are helping them reach an audience they’ve never reached before,” Baker told AAP. “It’s the thing that stitches it all together between players.”
The websites where the properties are syndicated are the top performers in each of the markets, he said.
The site, which was launched this week, has so far attracted listings from the U.K., Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Japan and India. During the next few weeks, ListGlobally will also publish in Mexico, Russia, and South Africa, with Australia, Spain, France, Italy, Brazil and the U.S. to follow.
