April Edition Newsletter
|
|
Welcome to SAHometraders Newsletter for April. On the 22nd of this month more than 21-million South Africans will go to the polls to vote in the fourth general elections since the end of apartheid. It is great to see that after 15 years, all South Africans can still exercise their constitutional right to vote in a free and fair election – a result that can only mean that democracy has entrenched itself in our beloved country.
In other voting news, millions of South Africans voted yes to action against climate change when they switched off their lights during Earth Hour. This global campaign to highlight the threat of climate change saw South Africa saving 400 MW of electricity. |

Receive SMS Notification of Enquiries
| |
|
Seeing that a large amount of Internet users browse the web after work or over the weekends, SAHometraders decided to launch a useful new service that makes it possible for subscribers to receive SMS notification when they get an enquiry from potential buyers. This service gives agents the opportunity to respond to an enquiry immediately, whether on the golf course or at home. Our system will automatically send you a notification SMS when you receive an enquiry, plus the website user has the option of choosing to send a SMS message that will also be sent directly to your phone. At the same time, agents will receive e-mail notification as usual. |

Property Viewing Report
| |
To show your clients how much interest a property has had over a certain period of time, agents can now get property viewing reports. These reports, along with enquiry reports, are extremely handy negotiating tools to motivate the selling price of a property. Your reports are waiting to be downloaded in the back office under Reports.

Gebruik SAHometraders in Afrikaans
| |
|
SAHometraders is trots om aan te kondig dat ons Eiendom Te Koop seksie nou ook in Afrikaans gebruik kan word. Besoek gerus ons tuisblad en kliek op ‘Afrikaans’ om hierdie nuwe funksie te gebruik. Hoewel ons die navigasie van ons ‘Te Koop’ blaaie vertaal het, wil ons egter vra dat u steeds die Engelse soekterme vir stede, voorstede en dorpe gebruik wanneer u na eiendom soek.
The SAHometraders property sales section can now be browsed in Afrikaans. Users can go to our home page and select Afrikaans to start using this new feature. We translated the navigation as far as possible, however users should still use the English names of cities/towns/suburbs when doing a Quick Search. |
