Harcourts Launches Upgraded Australian Website

Harcourts Australia has just launched the organisation’s highly anticipated upgraded website, Harcourts International’s Head of Technology, Jason Wills announced.

The new website was built using the very latest Web 2.0 tools, with large clear photos and easy-to-navigate functionality.

“The website displays open home and auction times, and also has social media options available, so visitors to the site can share their favourite property with their friends on Facebook, Digg, MySpace, Live, Reddit, Bebo, Delicious, LinkedIn, Blogger, Buzz Up! and more,” Mr Wills said.

According to Mr Wills, Harcourts’ new website (www.harcourts.com.au) also features a Community Page, with a newsroom, blog posts, and feeds to Harcourts’ YouTube Channel among other things.

“We’ve built an Office/People page that allows you to find any of our team across Australia. Google Maps make this experience easy,” Mr Wills said.

“Google Maps has definitely proven to be a successful addition to our online offering and in time we expect Google Base will be an increasingly popular tool too, particularly when it’s further integrated into the main Google search engine.”

For decades Harcourts has prided itself as an industry ground-breaker in real estate technology.

“We see our investment in real estate technology as imperative to provide the public and our team with the best tools possible to ensure their real estate experience is productive and successful.”

Harcourts is Australasia’s fastest growing real estate organisation, with offices in all states and the Northern Territory, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Singapore. Last year, it expanded its operations into Zambia, China, and South Africa., with a total of over 600 offices internationally.
