When do we have access to reporting?
The project owner must authorise any third party to have access to reporting. Once the project has been released to the project owner, reporting is then made available.
Property Sales Agent
Can I use Locator for the properties I sell?
For Locator to be utilised at utmost efficiency and integrity, only the property owner can authorise a listing on Locator. The nature of distribution and access requires that the property information be maintained by the vendor or their representative so as to provide accurate information on sales status to potential buyers and channel agents. If this works for you, get in touch to discuss further.
What type of properties is Locator good for?
Any kind of property that would benefit from a wider network to have access to the property for more efficient marketing and sales. Commercial, Residential, mixed use and managed property are all eligible to be listed on Locator.
Channel Sales Agent
Does Locator provide all the information I would need to inform my buyers pre-contract?
The listing and mapping process typically allows for all information necessary for a buyer to make a decision and then proceed to contract all located in the Supporting Documents area of each lot.
Are there other projects on Locator that are not listed on this site?
Locator has been operating for over 12 years and has seen many projects listed and subsequently sold. There are some projects currently for sale which are not on this website. Should you have a specific property type you are looking for, please get in touch so we can match you with your ideal property type.
How do I gain access to Locator Projects?
Get in touch with us today to discuss your business and which projects you are interested in selling.
Do I have to deal directly with the property developer to gain access?
No, in fact you will typically be shielded entirely from dealing with the developer via the entity that shared the project with you.
Do I need to disclose who my clients are?
You do not need to disclose who your clients are. However, should you like to nominate or register your client on the system to prevent the possibility of another agent to claim your client on a project, that would ensure the client relationship would be recognised. Also, if a client proceeds to contract, the project owner’s solicitor would be notified and the client’s details would be revealed.
Will the developer by-pass me to deal directly with my clients?
The nature of Locator allows for each company to both confidentially share projects with their network, but also to nominate/register their clients in the system once there is engagement on a project or lot. If a developer attempted to by-pass your ownership of a relationship, then it would be very easy to prove who has the client first and therefore protect your commission in the event of a sale. This in itself discourages and inhibits this kind of behaviour.
How do I know my network is safe?
Locator is unable to disclose or discuss network information to anyone. Only the Companies which share a project to another company and user are aware of that share occurred. The Project Owners are made aware of metrics in volume only of how a project has been shared, viewed and the detailed information that lies within the analytics of an interactive masterplan such as traffic acquisition, which lots viewed and for how long, and if there has been a conversion (on an enquiry form).
