Special Facebook offer for WEB-BOX clients

03 SEP 2025

How often do you look up a company on social media before you decide to start dealing with them? It is no different for estate agencies. A Facebook Business Page gives you the opportunity to show that you are a reputable authority in your field and an active agency in your focal areas, as well as giving you another platform to showcase your stock.

Setting them up and maintaining them at a consistently high standard takes time, money and know-how and can be overwhelming. Let us help you with this - we have lots of experience managing Facebook Business pages for estate agencies, so we know what works and what doesn’t.

We are currently running a special offer* for WEB-BOX clients - 50% off the setup fee on our Lite, Standard or Booster packages plus 20% off the monthly fee for the first 3 months. Monthly fees start from R3660 + VAT per month.

See full details of the packages here.

If you are interested, please contact us.

*offer ends 30th September 2025

Important Gumtree Feed Update

19 AUG 2025

Currently, all your listings feed to Gumtree for free. However, from the 1st of September, Gumtree is changing to a fully paid model for property listings.

They say they are doing this to:

Eliminate duplicate and fraudulent accounts.
Improve the quality of leads you receive.
Offer faster, more personalised customer support.
Increase transparency in how services are delivered.

If you do not have a subscription with them, then all property listings that have been fed through will be automatically removed by them, so you do not have to do anything. If you do take out a paid subscription, then the listings will continue to feed through. We will update our admin console accordingly.

To find out more about this change, please click here. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Lite sites menu update

09 JUN 2025

We have renamed the “Valuation” menu item to “Market Estimate”. This is to comply with the PPRA instruction that Property Practitioners must refrain from using the terminology “valuations” in their marketing material.

Updated menu item.

This menu item opens a form for people to fill in their details so you can get in touch with them. People completing this form could be looking to sell or just curious about the value of their property.

This update will reflect on all lite sites. Should you have a lite site and would like different wording, let us know and we will change accordingly. If you have a premium site, and you want us to change the wording in a similar way, let us know, and we will do it for you.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
