There’s a brand new player in the Australian Online Property Market and finally it’s not just another FREE Property Portal, this site is very different because it has combined the thirst for property related information with the technologies and functionalities used to connect and converse through Social Media, to create ‘HouseNet – The Social Network for Real Estate & Property.’

I recently had the pleasure to catch up with Darren Moffatt the CEO and founder of HouseNet.com.au to discuss their Real Estate & Property centric Social Media Network and how their site can benefit agents.

I highly recommend taking the time to tune-in on this interview that I did with Darren Moffatt and discover a greater insight into the behind-the-scenes and benefits of this innovative online platform for agents, industry experts, consumers, investors, property lovers, etc…

The site has some very clever social functionality like forums, sharing and capability to establish a personal online profile page & a blog and a lot more, whilst also featuring articles from SoldMagazine, PropertyObserver.com.au, BrokerNews.com.au and Property Data information via Residex.

HouseNet.com.au looks set to provide a deep vein of real estate specific content and open-the-door to an engaging online property conversation environment…

“Our mission is to actually change the property market for the better. (Audacious, I know). We want to create a truly awesome platform  that empowers both agents and consumers, and in the process brings them together like never before.

One of the exciting things about social networks, as distinct from conventional portals, is that they are essentially huge collaborative projects. Our vision for Housenet is an engaged  user community that is actively shaping the site design & functionality via a continual feedback loop. As founder, my task is simple: to listen and deliver what  people want, every day.” …Darren Moffatt

Congratulations Darren and the HouseNet.com.au team. Well done. 🙂

I really like the concept and think you might just be onto something here…

Electric Avenue Wrap-Up

On Monday’s show I shared an update on the iOs Upgrade from Facebook which has made their App 2x faster as McGrath finally joined Facebook.

Tuesday delved into the conversation of Influence and ‘Does Your Klout Ranking Mean Anything?’ which also featured an Infograph: 12 Ways to Achieve Online Influence With or Without Klout.

In Wednesday’s episode, I posed the BIG question about ‘Real Estate Banner Ads, Do They Really Work?’  where I shared 4 Questions agents should ask plus an insight into how Banner Advertising is ‘dirt-cheap’ when it’s done the right way!

…and to round up the week, what’s the Australian Real Estate Industry without a bit of heated debate?

This time Greg Ellis, CEO of realestate.com.au stirred-up quite a bit of heated debate when he announced REA’s current stance on real estate video at a presentation last week on the Gold Coast…which inspired yesterday’s show on The Real Estate Video Debate Heats Up

I hope you enjoy this week’s Electric Avenue Wrap-Up. Cheers 🙂
