MagicBricks.com, in its endeavour to make the process of property transactions as easy and hassle free as possible, has introduced its latest innovation – The MagicBricks.com “Call n Post” @ 0124 3915555.

Property Sellers & Seekers can simply “Call n Post” on MagicBricks.com on 0124 3915555 between 9 am to 8 pm from Monday to Saturday to post their properties or requirements on MagicBricks.com. Users can call from both landline and mobiles and have their properties or requirements listed on MagicBricks.com with the ease of the phone.

To add to this convenience, users can simply type “Property” and SMS it to 58888. They would then receive a confirmatory SMS from MagicBricks.com, and would receive a call from a MagicBricks.com executive within 24 hours, who would register them (and their properties) on MagicBricks.com over the phone.

Talking about this unique initiative, Mr Naveen Luthra, VP, and Business Head, MagicBricks.com remarked, “In an effort to bring MagicBricks.com closer to our customers, we worked toward setting up this helpline that will enable them to post their requirements, with a single phone call.”

“With the telecom base in India estimated at nearly 300 million mobile users and over 50 million landline users, the MagicBricks.com “Call n Post” Helpline comes as an advantage to even the non-net access user, and all property seekers and sellers can avail MagicBricks.com services with relative ease. This is an addition to an already existing web-interface to do so.” added Mr. Luthra.

The MagicBricks.com “Call n Post” helpline is the natural progression of the convergence of Internet and Telecom Technologies pioneered by MagicBricks.com’s Mobile Services that it started up with MagicSMS last year, through which, 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.

“Along with making the online registration process of MagicBricks.com easy and convenient for users, MagicBricks.com’s ‘Call n Post’ will also increase the number listings on the site, building a larger base for MagicBricks.com search users to access and choose from.” added Mr. Luthra.

MagicBricks.com pioneered convergence in the real estate space with MagicSMS and took it to even greater heights, by introducing 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.

Not one to rest on its achievements, MagicBricks.com went ahead and introduced India's First Free Calling Service – MagicBricks.com “Click to Call”. MagicBricks.com “Click to Call” enabled buyers to contact sellers at no cost to either party, with just a simple click.

And now, through the MagicBricks.com “Call n Post” @ 0124 3915555 MagicBricks.com is providing its services, to anyone with access to a phone call. In addition, existing MagicBricks.com registered users can also call the “Call n Post” service for posting their requirements.

With such innovations, it is evident MagicBricks.com retains its leadership position with more than 5.5 Lakh properties live on the site, over 3.5 lakh registered users and over 18 Million Page-views a month.

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.

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.
