Realestate.com.au Integrations

Introduction

When an office or agency uploads their listings to realestate.com.au via the Arosoftware uploader feature, they can also activate their REA integration. This allows REA to share data back to Arosoftware. The currently available integration options are listing leads, appraisal leads, agency and agent profile leads, listing website traffic, and reviews and ratings.
  1. How does Arosoftware import this data?
    1. We use the REA partner platform API
  2. How do I turn this integration on?
    1. When you complete your change of uploader form in the REA back-end, select the "Both" option in the question "What will this uploader be used for?" Once Aro receives the authority to set up your listing feed, the REA integration is activated. The only requirement is that you have an active realestate.com.au account
  3. Can I turn this integration off?
    1. Sure, simply contact our support team and we can deactivate the integration for you

Website Traffic Data

If you upload to realestate.com.au, website traffic data will be automatically imported into the software and displayed within the listing statistics graph. This data can also be displayed in your vendor reports.
  1. How do I view the listing statistic graph?
    1. Simply navigate to a listing that has been uploaded to realestate.com.au and check the graph on the listing homepage.

  1. How do I view the traffic data in a vendor report?
    1. Create a vendor report and add the "Website Traffic" module. If you do not have the vendor reports module in your package, please contact us to add it.

Enquiries/Leads

Any enquiries made via your realestate.com.au account will be automatically imported into the software as leads, including listing leads, appraisal leads, agency and agent profile leads, and listing website traffic.
  1. How long does it take for enquiries to be imported?
    1. Typically, a realestate.com.au enquiry will take 3-5 minutes to show up inside your Arosoftware account.
  2. What is a lead?
    1. A lead refers to a potential opportunity to sell a service or product to a customer. In your real estate business, this is typically the opportunity to list a property for sale or rent or the opportunity to sell/lease an existing listing.

  1. Where do I go to view the leads within Arosoftware?
    1. Navigate to the "Leads" menu and click on the "Leads" option to view all of your leads, or click "Search Leads" to perform a search for a specific lead.
  2. Will Arosoftware also import general and appraisal enquiries from realestate.com.au?
    1. Yes, enquiries made via your realestate.com.au agency or agent profile pages (general enquiries) will also be imported as leads. These will not be linked to a listing, as it's a general enquiry not tied to a property
