 Continued innovation in user experience and product development;
and

Monthly Unique Visitors UV's Target “We fully deployed our national agent sales team during the month ahead of schedule and we are pleased with the early results.

Our recently announced reseller agreement with Veda extends the reach of our national salesforce, providing us with further ability to accelerate revenues from real estate agents as we continue to improve our enquiry levels which is what agents want,” said Mr Woschnak.  

Mr Woschnak commented: “As previously announced, we are focusing our resources on driving faster growth in agent and non‐agent registrations as we look to increase our overall level of listings content from the approximately 80 per cent of national property listings currently on site.

Approximately 500 new agents registered with www.rent.com.au during March, more than 6 times the average of the preceding 8 months, and we expect that this will be reflected in an increase in listings content over the coming months, similar to the continued growth in non‐agent listings we continue to anticipate.”
