Propertyguru.com.my, an ad-free “beta” property portal to test innovative interface design concepts and technologies - has just been launched by IPGA Ltd (ASX: IPP), owner of Asia’s No. 1 network of property portal sites under the iProperty.com umbrella brand (www.iproperty.com).
Innovative Design and Technology
Propertyguru.com.my is a test or ‘beta site’ used to trial new products, design interface and technology never before seen in Malaysia or the region. Launched as an extension of the iProperty.com Malaysia brand, all property data on Propertyguru.com.my including its 120,000 property listing for sale and rent is powered by Malaysia’s number one property portal, iProperty.com.my.
Shaun Di Gregorio, CEO of the iProperty.com Group said, “The launch of our new Beta test site, Propertyguru.com.my, is a welcome addition to the iProperty.com group of websites. It is a testament to the iProperty.com Group’s commitment to innovation and to providing our consumers with a different search experience. It is also a platform to safely test new technology and products and set new industry standards for Malaysia and the region.”
Pure Search Experience
The site is a combination of clean and uncluttered design coupled with a highly intelligent search engine that makes property hunting a breeze. Its predictive search function suggests addresses, townships, condos and areas with search results delivered fast. Switching between map, gallery and list views, give visitors the option to view properties according to their preference. Each property listing also provides proximity details of schools, transportation and amenities nearby.
“Our new beta site sanctifies the core function of a property portal; property search, putting priority on search and improving the presentation of properties.” continues Shaun Di Gregorio.
Visitor Response and Feedback
With this new beta portal, consumers are encouraged to provide their feedback to better understand the needs of its customers and consumers and ultimately, to apply lessons learnt on the beta site to the Group’s flagship website, the iProperty.com Malaysia.
“It is crucial that we listen to what our customers and consumers in each market want and need. Tracking response from our beta site, propertyguru.com.my, gives us the perfect opportunity to apply our learnings to iProperty.com Malaysia, enhancing the property search experience of over 550,000 monthly unique visitors,” said Shaun Di Gregorio.
