iProperty.com traffic hits all-time high

iProperty.com Malaysia, the number one property website in the country, hit an all-time high in traffic with more than 750,000 property hunters visiting its property website last month.

When compared with January last year, the website saw a 100 per cent jump in unique visitors, a 57 per cent increase in pageviews and an 84 per cent increase in visits.

In a statement today, the company attributed the growth to iProperty.com Malaysia's recent acquisition of ThinkProperty.com.my, the launch of the brand's local vertical property websites, PropertyGuru.com.my and Home-Guru.com.

This also include the release of innovative products such as the iPhone and iPad real estate search applications and its network of distribution partners.

iProperty.com Malaysia continued to be the favourite channel for real estate agents to advertise their properties.

Between January 2010 and January 2011, over 2,200 new real estate agents signed with the iProperty.com bringing the total to over 5,300 paying agent subscribers, a 74 per cent growth, since last year.

"Our performance in January 2011 not only marks the beginning of a great year, it is also a testament of our commitment to our customers and consumers.

"We have great plans for this year as we work to continously deliver innovative products, great service and unrivalled property hunting experience. I am confident we will continue to break even more records this year," said Country Manager Timothy Hor.

There is no such thing as can't, only won't. If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward. Whatever it takes! But you can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible we realize we are special people.
