One of Australia’s leading property portals has launched a new app, boasting a raft of new features and enhancements to the most popular existing ones.

Domain Group’s PriceFinder property data and insights platform has launched a new agent app for iOS devices.

It said that after a “significant” refresh in UX, design and integration, the new app for Apple iPad and iPhone has been rebuilt with a “solid spectrum” of new features, plus enhancements to existing features that agents “know and love”.

The enhancements are:

•  Property and ownership quick search – a more intuitive search function to ensure speed and accuracy when searching for listings or owners.

• New favourites – the ability to save frequently searched areas for prospecting or client’s own listings for inspections.

• Property timeline – over 35 years of sales, for sale, for rent history, plus land valuations.

• More price estimates – integrated with sister site Australian Property Monitors, estimates automatically appear on every residential listing in Australia.

• School catchment zones and developer applications are now within the app.

Head of product for PriceFinder Colin Wilson said that the new app will be an agent’s “go-to” tool.

“We rebuilt the app from the ground up for the 2018 agent,” Mr Wilson said.

“We are increasingly seeing session volumes skew more heavily towards mobile, so we want our product to reflect what agents need to do their jobs well.”

Mr Wilson said that the new app retains features from previous versions that are popular with agents, like property maps, photos and boundaries.

He added that agents are still able to produce and email suburb flyover reports or growth stats.

“Our plan was to enhance the features that are still relevant as part of the PriceFinder app rebuild, but just to add to these with more mobile features that traditionally were only on desktop,” the head of product added.

“The breadth of our data and ability to make changes quickly has only been enhanced more by being part of the Domain Group.”

PriceFinder recently ended its reseller partnership with the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia and will service the entire Australian market directly from February 2018.
