In a digital shift, Toowoomba’s real estate market is experiencing a surge in online activity, thanks to the Toowoomba Regional Council’s (TRC) innovative real estate portal.
The virtual gateway, available round the clock, is reshaping the way real estate professionals navigate property information, revolutionising the industry’s approach.
Record-Breaking Numbers
Recent statistics reveal an unprecedented spike in users accessing TRC’s online portal. Since its launch in March 2021, the portal has become a pivotal tool for real estate agents and solicitors.
The figures speak volumes: an astonishing 977 hits in November last year alone. TRC’s General Manager of Finance and Business Strategy, Ann-Marie Johnson, notes, “In recent months, we’ve consistently recorded nearly 1000 hits monthly, underscoring the portal’s growing significance.”
Streamlining Processes and Enhancing Efficiency
The portal’s primary appeal lies in its user-friendly features, freeing up the council’s customer service resources.
Real estate agents and solicitors can seamlessly access vital property information, from rates and charges to water metre readings, without the need for direct contact with the council.
This symbiotic relationship between technology and real estate is proving to be a game-changer, streamlining processes and fostering efficiency.
Empowering the Real Estate Sector
Ann-Marie Johnson emphasises the portal’s empowering role: “This is a great win-win. The portal allows users to search using a lot of plan details, offering comprehensive insights into property location, description, rates, charges, and more.”
TRC goes the extra mile, assisting real estate professionals through basic training sessions, and reinforcing the commitment to supporting the industry’s evolving needs.
Toowoomba’s real estate landscape is undeniably transforming, with TRC’s online portal at the forefront of this digital revolution.
As the real estate market adapts, the portal stands as a beacon of progress, embodying the future of property information accessibility.
