Realestate.com.au expands beyond Australian borders

The REA Group, parent company of realestate.com.au, has announced the launch of its global property network.

It is envisaged the network will be a platform that opens up a new way for people to search for international property while exposing Australian property listings to a global audience.

With listings from 56 countries, connected by property sites in 12 markets, including US, Italy, Germany, France, Malaysia and Hong Kong, realestate.com.au/international is the largest source of global property listings in the world with three million listings at launch.

Using global reach and strong local brands, the network will further drive international views and enquiries to Australian listings with exposure to 200 million visits globally each month.

“People love looking at property and now they can have easier access to international listings, whether they are interested in a beach house in Jamaica, a warehouse in Brooklyn, a villa in Thailand or even a castle in the French countryside. 

“We’re continuing to build our offering by giving consumers access to more than three million listings at launch; this is the world’s largest source of global property," Tracey Fellows, the chief executive officer of the REA Group said.

“This global network adds another layer for visitors to our sites, while at the same time, providing value to vendors by giving listings exposure to 200 million visits globally each month,” Ms Fellows said.

REA Group, parent company of realestate.com.au, is majority owned by News Corp.
