About MagicBricks.com:

The internet has empowered and paced up our lives almost on every front. The emerging virtual world of the real estate sector is an outstanding example of the paradigm shift the internet is bringing. People prefer to search for information on product online before they actually buy it and this applies to property search as well. Online property search is catching up fast, be it a residential or a commercial plot, building, flat or office space.

Keeping with the trend, Times Business Solutions launched MagicBricks.com in August ’06, as a platform to bring together buyers and sellers in the real estate industry. Within three months of its launch, MagicBricks.com achieved the status of being the No.1 property portal in India. With its revolutionary next-gen services customized specifically to address the real estate industry it has consolidated its position as the leader in the sector.

MagicBricks.com offers a pan – India coverage of over 500,000 listings, showcasing the Indian real-estate market. MagicBricks.com currently records over 15 million page-views per month.

MagicBricks.com comes packed with a host of tools, never witnessed before by Real-Estate Industry, which include –

MagicBricks.com observed that the majority of people, in this business, were constantly on the move, and did not access the internet on a daily basis, but conducted their business over mobile phones, and thus the most valued services launched by MagicBricks.com, which further advanced its leadership were the Mobile & Internet convergence services, first through ‘MagicSMS’, and subsequently ‘MagicBricks Mobile’.

Through the ‘Magic SMS’ service, users can send free SMS through the website to sellers for properties and buyers for requirements that interest them. The simple and user-friendly interface creates a succinct yet comprehensive message that is sent to the person who has listed the property or requirement.

As a value addition to MagicSMS , MagicBricks.com also provides developers and real estate agents - ‘Property Leads on SMS’ – a premium service that offers instant SMS updates of new properties, listed for sale or rent customised as per the subscribers selection.

Not one to rest on its achievements, MagicBricks.com launched, India’s first Mobile Property Portal – ‘MagicBricks Mobile’. This small application (less than 50 KB), enables users to search for properties by property type, budget, and city on their GPRS enabled cell-phone. They can view further details of shortlisted property listings, live off the site, right on their cell phones. Users can instantly contact the concerned person by sms or phone call and the application stores the history of the contact they have made in past sessions, for easy recall and follow-up.
