What changes have been made to the Featured Agent from 17 August 2023?
Featured Agent has undergone significant upgrades, enhancing the experience for both real estate agents and property seekers. The key enhancements include:
-
New/Enhanced Categories: We have introduced new residential and commercial district categories. These categories are designed to maximize the visibility and exposure of your property listings. Your listings will now be showcased based on their respective districts, allowing for targeted marketing and making it easier for property seekers to find relevant properties.
-
Improved Agent’s Setup and Property Seeker’s Search Experience for Commercial Area Listings: The Featured Agent setup process for commercial area listings has been enhanced. Instead of choosing specific property types (e.g., industrial, agricultural, or office), it now falls under a general Featured Agent category – Commercial Area Featured Agent. Property seekers will enjoy an improved search experience with the refined filters. These filters enable users to find commercial properties that precisely match their requirements. This change offers a more user-friendly experience for both real estate agents and property seekers.
How will these changes benefit me as a real estate agent?
The upgraded Featured Agent helps to:
-
Increase Visibility & Exposure: The new district categories ensure that your property listings reach a broader audience by targeting potential property seekers in specific districts. Your property listings will be more effectively presented to property seekers using refined search filters. This enhanced visibility can result in higher engagement with your listings!
-
Streamlined Setup Process: With the enhanced Commercial Area Featured Agent, you can showcase your properties without the need to delve into specific commercial property types. This will help to save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your real estate business.
How will property seekers benefit from these changes?
Property seekers will experience:
-
Targeted Results: The new residential and commercial district categories help property seekers find listings in their desired locations more efficiently. This could ensure relevant properties that match their preferences and needs.

User-Friendly Search: Improved search experience with refined filters allows easy narrowing down of criteria. This could deliver accurate and tailored results, saving time and providing a seamless property search journey.
