<p><strong>Networking</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_328" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px">
	<strong><strong><a href="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-networking.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-328" title="propgo-networking" src="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-networking-300x152.jpg" alt="Networking with PropGo ;)" width="300" height="152" /></a></strong></strong>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Networking with PropGo <img src='http://bensonkoh.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>A new agent friend that specialised in commercial listings gave me a private messaged to touch base with me.<span id="more-323"></span></p>
<p>For fellow colleagues who has different market specialization might want to easily touch base with one another to just share their leads to co-broke.</p>
<p>Effectively, you&#8217;re shortening your workload and still solving your clients need in terms of rental or sale of a property.</p>
<p><strong>Property Listings in Different Segments</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-2-neighbours.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-331" title="propgo-2-neighbours" src="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-2-neighbours-300x110.jpg" alt="propgo-2-neighbours" width="300" height="110" /></a></p>
<p>This is where PropGO is different from other portals. We can safely acknowledge that this is works like Facebook for agents where fellow colleagues can match listings very quickly by Districts and Neighbours segment.</p>
<p><strong>Blogging and Discussions</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_333" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 293px">
	<a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-333" title="propgo-blogdiscussion" src="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-blogdiscussion-293x300.jpg" alt="My Blog Article on Grand Duchess with PropGo" width="293" height="300" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">My Blog Article on Grand Duchess with PropGo</p>
</div>
<p>This is where Realtor can help one another if PropGO manages to build up a strong user base of Realtor.</p>
<p>Any property agents could just post any questions with regards to developments that they&#8217;re unsure of; Fellow specialists could answer their questions and offer even their listings to quickly close the sale.</p>
<p><strong>Hong Kong/ China/ USA Market?</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_334" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 300px">
	<strong><strong><a href="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-new-markets.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-334" title="propgo-new-markets" src="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-new-markets-300x131.jpg" alt="New Markets is Possible with PropGO" width="300" height="131" /></a></strong></strong>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">New Markets is Possible with PropGO</p>
</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p>Unlike <a href="http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/agent/8673/benson-koh">PropertyGuru</a> and <a href="http://my.st701.com/bensonkoh">ST701</a> (which I highly recommend for your listings for local leads), PropGO looks like they&#8217;re working very well in Hong Kong as well as China. With their new alliance with Condo.com, they&#8217;re now expanding also into the USA market.</p>
<p>With PropGO, you might have the chance to touch base with other foreign Realtor who might be interested in Singapore&#8217;s real estate. Ah, that would be new market segments for most, wouldn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p><strong>In Short..</strong></p>
<p>I believe in the spirit of <em>esprit de corps</em> even in property sales. The more sociable you are, the more friends you make, be it your direct clients or property agent friends, the more happier you are and the more easier and faster it would be for you to close your sales.</p>
<p>PropGO might make it possible with the 20,000 ++ property agents (current estimated number of real estate agents in Singapore).</p>
<p>Why not give it a go and have your listings posted here?<a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com/"> Give me a hola</a> when you&#8217;ve registered to add me as a friend <img src='http://bensonkoh.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p class="alert">I think <a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com/">PropGO</a> is still experiencing some bug issues with the adding of friends, but it should resolve pretty soon</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong><a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com">PropGO</a>, the latest realtor social portal is starting an online competition for Property agents to use their services</strong>,</p>
<p><img src="http://www.propgo.com/images/Logo/PropGO_logo_big.png" alt="PropGO - A Realtor Social Media Portal" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Singapore’s Top Agent Competition</strong></p>
<p>Winner Gets $10,000 SGD, 4 Runner Up Agents Get $2,500 SGD. This Could Be YOU! Its FREE to Compete!</p>
<p>Details can be downloaded <a href="http://www.propgo.com/resources/Singapore%20Best%20Agent%20Competition1.pdf">here</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Why PropGO?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a neat way to drive traffic. If you don&#8217;t understand how PropGO works, I suggest you to register and <a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com">add me to your list of friends</a> if you&#8217;re a fellow agent *grin*.</p>
<p>Social portals of such are like Friendster and Facebook if you&#8217;re familiar with them; allowing you to build your network of agent friends, share news and information with all, do advertisements. As a social portal, the things you could do is limitless if their web traffic is good.</p>
<p><strong>Traffic is Picking Up for PropGO</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_248" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 300px">
	<a href="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-traffic.gif"><img class="size-medium wp-image-248" title="Traffic Details for PropGo from Alexa" src="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/propgo-traffic-300x190.gif" alt="Traffic Details for PropGo from Alexa" width="300" height="190" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Traffic Details for PropGo from Alexa</p>
</div>
<p>The traffic for PropGO <a href="http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/propgo.com">is picking up</a>, with most users coming from Hong Kong, and China just slightly behind. It should do well should they continue to market their portal right. I would suggest picking up an account and start building your network to avoid missing any type of opportunity.</p>
<p>The only thing that I worry is with the blogging function that they have which interferes with my own blog. Duplicate contents usually doesn&#8217;t work very well with search engines; Google hates them, nobody likes them anyway. So if you have to blog two places or more, make sure your contents are never duplicated anywhere else; aka unique to PropGO.</p>
<p><strong>Win SGD$10,000 worth of advertising!</strong></p>
<p>Remember to <a href="http://bensonkoh.propgo.com">add me</a> if you&#8217;re registering with them. Contests starts from <em>4th of February and ends on 28th of February</em>. There&#8217;s a list of things you&#8217;ll have to do; and those are farely simple, and if you&#8217;re all out to win, remember to put your heart to it <img src='http://bensonkoh.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
