Realestate embraces new Google mapping service
NZ’s online property portal, Realestate.co.nz, embraces new Google mapping service in joint initiative
Google has released simultaneously in New Zealand and Australia an important enhancement to Google Maps that now incorporates the location of properties listed on New Zealand’s premier property portal, Realestate.co.nz.
With more than 110,000 listings of properties for sale and rent, Realestate.co.nz is the most comprehensive web site for New Zealand property.
Realestate.co.nz CEO, Alistair Helm says “We take our leadership in online property listings seriously, and to maintain any credibility today and in the future, working closely with Google is essential. Therefore, we see the latest Google Map enhancements as a natural extension of the rich offering that Realestate.co.nz delivers to buyers and sellers of New Zealand property on a daily basis, as well as the thousands of real estate agents nationwide who keep our portal relevant, timely and comprehensive.”
“We already have a strong working relationship with Google. In fact, Realestate.co.nz has been working with Google for over a year to deliver this service and ensure that, on day one, the mapping facility is populated with those properties listed with addresses for sale and rent. ”
Google Product Manager Andrew Foster says that the new service is "a simple and free way for real estate companies to make their listings even more discoverable and have them seen on an easy-to-navigate map."
The new mapping service allows real estate agents, franchises and websites to upload their house listings directly onto Google Maps free of charge.
