The e-Agent Directory aims to be the "Go TO" site for selecting a real estate agent and for B2B referrals between agents.

Tauranga, Bay of Plenty -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/23/2016 -- There are several commercial online Directories, available in New Zealand, but none that exclusively relate to "client reviewed" real estate salespeople and agents. With the opening of The e-Agent® Directory, such a full service real estate portal now exists.

In addition to providing the consumer with "vetted" reviews, The Directory also allows agents to write articles and blogs on consumer related property issues. In addition agents can post audio and videos, describing their unique services and qualifications and offer coupons for special discounts and services. The Directory is highly interactive and is designed to promote Google acceptance of its content.

Member agents may select from three different service levels ranging from "Free" to NZD14.95 per month, depending on the features they intend to employ.

With over 1,500 participating agents in the first week of operations, e-Agent anticipates that The Directory will prove popular with New Zealand real estate professionals and intends to open The Directory to Australian agents, later in 2016.

eLearning continues to gain momentum in New Zealand. Economic as well as educational factors power growth.

Bucklands Beach, Auckland -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/11/2014 -- As New Zealand government and private enterprise seek more efficient methods, one area that is receiving added attention, is Online Learning or eLearning as it is frequently called.

The e-Agent® Academy has been providing an eLearning platform for the last four years and is currently an Approved provider for both the New Zealand Real Estate Agents Authority and the New Zealand Immigration Advisers Authority, for online continuing education.

Among the factors that set the e-Agent® Academy apart from other online systems, is its focus on learning outcome verification and its ability to verify the learners participation. The former permits agencies and corporations to validate that the learning is effective and the latter that the learners identification is vknown and assured. In addition, the e-Agent® Academy's LMS (Learning Management System) automatically conducts Skill-Gap Analysis on the learning outcome, allowing those responsible for content creation to know what content works and what does not.

With several thousand online students having used the platform and a very favourable annual growth curve, it is obvious that this method of learning is gaining in popularity. From its internal satisfaction surveys, e-Agent can more definitively state that travel reduction and time control are the two most significant motivators, for those electing eLearning as their preferred method.

In supporting its eLearning population e-Agent® also relies on its primary Academy website; its very substantial Facebook presence (with over 5,000 followers); as well as its LinkedIn and Twitter accounts.

Apple iBeacon™ technology to be field-tested in Auckland suburbs. Commercial rollout set for fourth quarter.

Auckland, New Zealand -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/19/2014 -- e-Agent® NZ Ltd today announced its intention to begin field-testing of its patented implementation of Apple's iBeacon™ technology (NZ Patent Pending #624509) for the residential and commercial New Zealand real estate marketplaces.

e-Agent calls this industry-specific implementation ListingBeacon™ and believes that it will see a significant uptake by real estate companies and individual agents. The technology will provide solutions for several problem areas within existing real estate marketing approaches.

When a ListingBeacon, featuring a small battery-powered Bluecats AU Bluetooth® transmitter, is placed at a property listed for sale, any individual within approximately 100 metres carrying any smartphone running a free app will receive offers of detailed information, photos and video; the option to communicate directly with the listing salesperson; and links to the agent's website.

This same ListingBeacon can notify people of open home schedules, send them calendar reminders, navigate them right to the property and importantly, register them without the need to sign in. The beacon can also be used to solicit open home feedback and all registrations are added to the salesperson's private, password-protected database.

Since all of this is permissions-based, there should be no issue of any intrusion into personal privacy, which is a key concern of the New Zealand consumer.

Back at the real estate office, placing a ListingBeacon behind selected window property photos will allow the brokerage firm to capture the attention of after-hours window visitors and even offer a specific salesperson's personal message.

In creating this new business marketing opportunity, e-Agent is counting on its already significant market penetration as an approved provider of annual continuing education for New Zealand real estate salespeople and agents.
