Multiple Business Models

EZ Realty is designed to meet the needs of multiple business models - from the single agent real estate business listing properties for sale, multi-agent businesses, and community sales portals offering FSBO listing services.  Simply configure it to meet the needs of your business model.

Profiling System

EZ Realty allows your sellers to promote their business, and share their contact details.  Supports multiple contact methods, including direct contact, snail mail, email, telephone, SMS via Clickatell, and 3 online messaging systems.  New in version 5.2.0 are profile privileges - enabling your members to manage more aspects of their listings such as publish/unpublish, skip the paid listings process, reset the expiry date and more.  Profiling privileges are an excellent way to keep employees out of the backend - yet allow them certain privileges normally only accessible via the admin area.

PayPal IPN Enabled

Turn your EZ Realty-powered site into a money-maker with the paid listings functionality.  Two sales levels allow you to charge for upgrades from free listings to "premium" and "featured" listings - or run in paid listings only mode.

Expiry Management System

Limit your listings based on page impressions or time - eg. 30 day listings.  Easy to use "clean listings" function to remove expired listings, and email notification for expired listings.

SEO

EZ Realty comes with support for SEF Advance, and also works on the core Mambo/Joomla SEF system - so you've got two SEF-friendly URL choices for your property listings.  Also, add a meta description and meta keywords to your description, and the meta title is generated from existing data.

Easy Layouts

Front-end templating system makes changing the layout of data on listing pages and the full details page. Four different layouts are currently available for the listings pages, and 16 different layouts are available for the full details page - including tabbed pages, javascript sliders, wide layouts, narrow page layouts and a variety of image layouts/systems including javascript rollovers, slimbox and javascript slideshows.  Two different layouts are available for the EZ Realty opening page - a combo layout combining search form and top localities, or the standard category names layout.  These are all easily configured via the EZ Realty admin configuration area.

Multiple currency support

Version 5.2.0 introduces true multi-currency support.  Run your site listings with a default currency set via the EZ Realty configuration area - or allow your members to list their properties in the currency of their choice.

Professional Image Presentation

In an industry where looks is everything, EZ Realty gives you a top-quality image display system.  Templates come with Javascript rollover images, and some have the slimbox image system available.  List up to 24 images with image descriptions - they're uploaded, thumbnailed and resized during the save process.  Version 5.2.0 introduces image watermarking - to give your sold and featured listings a distinctive look.

VIP Buyer's Register

Don't miss sales opportunities just because you don't have a listing people want.  The VIP Buyer's Register allows you to collect details of purchaser requirements, and display those on the front-end as a "wanted properties" listing page.  Communicate with other members of the sales team on the status of a lead via the notes area, and send emails of listings matching requirements via the VIP email notifications.  Emails sent to people on the VIP Buyer's Register contain a summary of key property information, an image and the seller details - as well as a link to the property listing and an unsubscribe link.

Mapping Support

Comes with Google and Yahoo mapping support built-in - your choice for your needs - or turn it off to use hyperlinks to external mapping services.  EZ Realty's mapping system displays both the property address - and supports driving directions.

RSS 2.0 Feeds

Two RSS 2.0 feeds - new property listings and open house days.

External Feeds

Four feeds to external property listing sites to enable you to get broader exposure for your listings - Google, Vast, Oodle and PropSmart - with more on the way.

Cross-component integration

Seamlessly tap into other components such as MyPMS for personal messaging, save newsletter subscribers directly to  the Letterman newsletter component and promote user interactivity with the jReviews commenting and ratings system.

Cross-browser "add to favourites" bookmarking function, recommend to friend email, print property details, contact seller/agent, add to mailing list request.  Add to mailing list requests are now saved to database, and can be exported in XML format for import into a mailing list manager.

Multi-Lingual

EZ Realty has multi-lingual support - meaning it is coded with language tags and has a language file system to enable the translation of embedded page text.  It also comes with a set of JoomFish and NokKaew content element files to enable you to translate the database content.

Multiple ways to search

EZ Realty has search filters, zip/postcode radius search, find property by ID/MLS ID #, agent/seller search and more.  It also comes standard with an Australian postcodes CSV file and a US zip codes database files ready to populate your database.

Out-of-the-box functionality

As of version 5.2.0 - EZ Realty has a new system mambot to insert custom code into your template header, and a new module to insert custom code into the debug module position.  This means you no longer need to worry about modifying your template with special code needed by EZ Realty's special features and addons.  It's all handled via the automatic installer.

Bonus Addons

Comes with a range of modules to extend your site, including:- new property listings, random property listings, single featured property listing, multiple featured property listings, mortgage calculator, loan calculator, featured seller, latest sellers, large search filter, agent/seller search by locality and a Community Builder plugin.  New with the 5.1.0 stable version is the RealtyMap component - a Google mapping component that displays your property listings on a single map.

JomRes Integration for Bookings Functionality***

If your business is tourism or rental properties and you need bookings functionality - EZ Realty has easy integration with the JomRes component.  ***This functionality has been available previously, however we cannot guarantee EZ Realty 5.2.0 integration with JomRes at this stage.  You MUST take this into consideration if you require bookings functionality***
