PropertyGuru inks content sharing agreement with REIDIN
Partnership to benefit Asian and global users looking for the latest property news
 |
Singapore, 6 January, 2012 – PropertyGuru.com, Asia’s leading real estate portal and REIDIN.com,
the premier real estate information company on emerging markets, have
signed an editorial content sharing agreement to educate influential
property investors around the world.
The deal will see REIDIN
and PropertyGuru sharing market intelligence, real estate news, expert
views, interviews and articles across www.propertyguru.com.sg, www.commercialguru.com.sg and www.homeguru.com.my
to help global property investors with their decisions. At the same
time, the partnership will drive traffic and brand awareness to REIDIN’s
portal and PropertyGuru’s websites in Singapore and Malaysia - with
plans for Indonesia and Thailand to follow later in 2012.
Asia
is seeing a growing number of Internet users and now has 44 percent of
the world’s consumers - almost one billion people. As a result, there is
a growing demand for quality online editorial content.
Ahmet Kayhan, CEO of REIDIN, said: “We are always looking for reliable information sources to add to the REIDIN.com network and (are) delighted to be distributing PropertyGuru’s excellent independent news and market commentary to REIDIN.com’s Asian and global clients. Both of our companies share a view that improving transparency drives efficiency in opaque real estate markets and we look forward to building on this partnership as we both expand in the region.”
Andrew Batt, Regional Group Editor of PropertyGuru, said: “REIDIN.com is globally recognised as a leading source of quality and influential property market news and analysis, and this agreement will see our world-class editorial being read by even more people around the globe.”
This partnership is the latest in a line of prestigious tie-ups for PropertyGuru, which includes a highly publicised collaboration with Yahoo! in 2011 across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
“After the great response we received from Yahoo! users, we decided to grow our relationship with other leading sites looking for premium property content. Our new deal with REIDIN will bring PropertyGuru’s extensive editorial content to a wider audience,” stated Steve Melhuish, Group CEO of PropertyGuru Group.
PropertyGuru currently has 19,000 paying real estate agent subscribers and seven million property buyers viewing 60 million pages monthly.
