EZ Realty is an easy-to-use property listing component for the Mambo/Joomla content management systems. Also, just because something is easy to use doesn't mean you have to settle for little in the way of features or a low-quality presentation that requires hours of custom modifications. EZ Realty was designed with presentation in mind - to make your sales listings look great! It also doesn't matter what sort of site you want to run - EZ Realty has the flexibility to run a site for your own listings, multi-agent listings or a community sales portal offering free and/or paid listings - EZ Realty is PayPal/Setcom enabled to do it all!

For example - to run a sales portal - start your site off in "free listings mode" to establish a membership base of listings with quality information, progress on to the "combined mode of operation" where you offer free listings with the option to pay for upgrades - and suddenly you've got a money-making site. As the success of your site grows - you can then progress onto a "paid listings only" basis if you want - and now you've got the opportunity for some serious income.

EZ Realty can be used by

• A single agent wanting to list his/her own business listings
• Multiple agents employed by a single business to list their individual listing responsibilities
• Multi-agent co-operatives wanting to list on a shared site
• Online entrepreneurs wanting to run a FSBO property sales portal

EZ Realty Features

Quick Install

It takes a minute to install EZ Realty on your web server - and another couple to install the multitude of modules available. Yes, it's that quick.

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 online messaging. Profile privileges are also available - 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. These are an excellent way to keep employees out of the backend - yet allow them certain privileges normally only accessible via the admin area.

Enabled for Payment Plugins

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. EZ Realty comes with a PayPal payment system plugin, and other payment gateway plugins can be obtained from Rob Joyce.

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.

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.
