Skilpad.Com Property Portal has developed three  great-value opportunities for South African estate agencies to own their own great value real estate websites.

The website packages complement the portal’s standing offer to South African estate agencies to list their properties for free on Skilpad.Com. Aimed primarily at small estate agencies that do not yet have their own personal website presence, the packages provide agents with the opportunity to list an unlimited number of properties on a tried-and-tested website platform with their own branding and own domain name (.co.za or .com).

While these low-cost packages provide an ideal entry point for small agencies to own their own patch of cyberspace, they are robust and reliable enough to provide a website presence for any agency. And one of the spinoffs for agencies that use these websites is that they benefit from the ongoing addition of free new features arising from the ongoing development of Skilpad.Com itself.

Following the long awaited arrival of Google South Africa Maps with adequate street information, Skilpad.Com now uses this service to power its dynamic maps.

One of the reasons for this change is to take advantage of the satellite and hybrid (combination of map and satellite) views that Google offers.

When anybody searches for property on Skilpad.Com, a region, suburb or street map is generated, corresponding to the search parameters. The maps are zoomable and scrollable. More map functionality will be added soon.

Let us know what you think of the new-look maps.
