findrealty.com.au Up For Sale

Australian property portal findrealty.com.au is up for sale.




The portal being offered for sale, findrealty.com.au, is a revamped version of the original propertycatalogue.com.au. According to owner Kevin Marksteiner it has been 2 years in development. Most listings are able to be placed by advertisers for free, and the site raises revenue through special ads and third party banner advertising.

findrealty.com.au had humble beginnings but has grown into something a lot bigger. Kevin says he originally began propertycatalogue.com.au to accommodate the sales of properties belonging to his mortgage business database. “However, shortly after creating the site I started receiving emails from general web surfers asking how they could promote their listings so I decided to rename the site and build an entirely new database and features that would compete with the majors. I believe the site we have developed, findrealty.com.au, certainly has search features that are in many ways superior to the main competitors in the property portal business.”

Targeting Australian, New Zealand and international audiences with homes for sale, rent, share, and holiday rentals, findrealty.com.au also has open house and auction features. Its listings are from private advertisers, real estate agents, holiday agents and local businesses.

One of the website’s nice features is indeed the map search, which allows you to zoom in by country, state, region, and city.

Kevin told propertyportalwatch.com that over 200 agents will be adding their properties to the site within the next month and also says he has entered into affiliations with TakeABreak which will result in around 15,000 holiday listings gradually being added to the site.

Kevin says he is looking for offers to buy all three URLs: findrealty.com.au, findrealty.co.nz and propertycatalogue.com.au.
