Homely announces enhanced rental integration with InspectRealEstate (IRE)
Melbourne, 8 December 2023 – Homely, one of the largest real estate portals in
Australia, is delighted to announce a partnership with InspectRealEstate (IRE) offering
an advanced rental integration service to its clients.
Starting from 8 December, agencies that are integrated with InspectRealEstate will notice
enhanced rental listings on Homely, including new “book” and “apply” buttons,
prominently displayed that enable renters to directly book inspections and apply
through the 2Apply platform. These improvements are integral components of a
broader comprehensive strategy between both Homely and IRE.
“This integration is designed to enhance the experience for both agencies and
tenants alike. The ability to book and apply directly on Homely simplifies the process,
making it more efficient and user-friendly. We’re excited to see how it will streamline
the real estate journey for all parties involved.” says Matt McGown, Global Chief
Product Officer at Reapit.
The partnership is designed to provide an enhanced experience for all users.
Landlords can expect quicker decision-making and reduced vacancy periods, while
the inclusion of these features should see a surge in both enquiries and applications
for agents integrated with IRE. Tenants looking for rentals will also benefit from the
improved enhancement.
“Homely’s partnership with InspectRealEstate is designed to further streamline
leasing operations and significantly boost efficiency for our customers,” says Luke
Kenyon, Head of Product at Homely.
“Our rental audience have a smoother rental experience and find the process more
intuitive when booking or applying for their ideal property.”
InspectRealEstate is among the first in the market to integrate Homely’s Enquiries
API. This API ensures its mutual customers have a complete view of all their Enquiries
from Homely.
“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our platform and offer the best services
to our clients. This integration with InspectRealEstate reflects our commitment to
staying ahead in the industry and ensuring a seamless experience for both our clients
and their potential renters,” said Adam Spencer Co-CEO and Co-Founder, at Homely.
Homely assures its clients that there’s no need for any action on their part.
