Fundamentally, e-property trading has a considerable role to play in the future. As such, Property.CoZa fully embraces technology and the online environment, harnessing it as a tool for smarter business practices and a value-added service to agents and clients. The firm’s IT platform includes an Office Management System, electronic referral system and the advanced Treasure Map tool. Working smarter allows the company to provide clients with quicker turnaround times and a more efficient service.

The firm’s agents plug into a fully operational process, with an IT system that allows him/ her to operate from home, a coffee shop or the office. This flexibility creates a culture of entrepreneurship, optimal productivity and work-life balance. To facilitate efficient service delivery, each Property. CoZa office is electronically linked with a referral system to ensure speedy networking between offices and agents. The entire network operates on a seamless, end-to-end back office management system.

Alongside this, a user-friendly web tool allows agents to: access a document library which hosts all documentation required to market and conclude a sale, load property mandates or listings onto the Property.CoZa website, monitor website hits and automatically generate marketing collateral like brochures. It also sends all property mandates or listings to all the major property websites including Property24, MyProperty, SAHometraders, Private Property and many more. Therefore, a clients’ property will be professionally represented and marketed every step of the way.

Each Property.CoZa office is electronically linked with a panel of Property Lawyers/ Conveyancers through a unique after-sales reporting web tool, Treasure Map. Treasure Map is a revolutionary real-time web tool developed by Property.CoZa in conjunction with Property Lawyers, which covers the entire life cycle of the registration process of the deal and enables clients and the firm’s dedicated team to access more relevant
information than standard software packages.

Overall, Property.CoZa strives to be South Africa’s most dynamic Real Estate Organisation by providing an uninterrupted personal service to its clients, with a focus on expedience through commitment, reliability, professionalism and trust.
