NGIS and the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) collaborated to update the  property hunting landscape on reiwa.com. As the leading representative of more than 85% of active agents in the state, REIWA aimed to elevate its online listings platform by incorporating advanced features and providing users with comprehensive and up-to-date property information.

What was the problem REIWA faced?

REIWA faced the challenge of differentiating itself from its competition and providing users with a superior property hunting experience. The existing mapping system lacked advanced features and did not deliver the detailed property insights that the REIWA as an institute had access to through its research department. REIWA wanted a solution that would captivate users and offer them access to REIWA’s wealth of information, providing a comprehensive view of the properties and surrounding areas.

How did NGIS help?

NGIS worked closely with REIWA’s IT team to develop a scalable, responsive and intuitive web and mobile app based mapping solution. The collaboration involved using open-source data, integrating REIWA’s proprietary market research and incorporating user-friendly functionalities. NGIS used its expertise in geospatial analysis and data management to build an interactive mapping system that seamlessly integrated with the reiwa.com platform. 

The mapping system includes a wide range of data sources, including LandGate, Google, REIWA and Department of Education, to provide a comprehensive view of properties.

Transforming the property search experience 

The new and upgraded mapping system, a key feature of the reiwa.com.au website and mobile app, empowers property hunters with valuable insights and information. The maps are simple and accurate, showing property, land dimensions, utilities (power and water), transport routes, nearby schools, lifestyle amenities, and a lot more. 

The enhanced capabilities allows users to save significant time on research and avoid the need for multiple inquiries to different government departments. NGIS’s partnership with REIWA showcased NGIS’ ability to deliver cutting-edge geospatial solutions and address complex challenges in the real estate industry.
