* New bespoke technology planned to help ease the process of finding a home

* Quality control team to grow in effort to ensure the standard of listings

DUBAI: propertyfinder.ae, the U.A.E.'s largest and most dynamic property portal, today provided a sneak preview of the cutting edge technology it plans to roll out over the coming months aimed at taking the stress out of finding a home.

At an event held at their newly opened office in Dubai's Media City, propertyfinder.ae CEO and founder Michael Lahyani underlined the company's commitment to bringing ease and transparency to the experience of making a home in the UAE.

propertyfinder.ae will soon launch an all new real estate agents section on its website that will enable customers to find the perfect representative to meet their needs, whether that be by the area they specialize in, or the language they speak. After all, the propertyfinder.ae team is made up of 26 different nationalities who all understand the struggle involved in moving country and home.

Because the consumer always comes first at propertyfinder.ae, the company has a dedicated Quality Control department whose sole responsibility is to monitor and improve the quality of the listings on the website by tracking phone calls and providing advice.

"Our quality control team will continue to grow and we are coming out with bespoke technology solutions to make this work harder to make sure it has more of an impact," said Mr. Lahyani.

At propertyfinder.ae the consumer experience is paramount in everything we do and this is reflected in the design, content and navigation of all our portals, Mr. Lahyani added.

Propertyfinder.ae is the only property portal to introduce a website that works seamlessly no matter what communication device the consumer is operating.

"We know how irritating it is having a million log ins for different sites and how hard it is to keep track of all the different agents you have contacted," said Mr. Lahyani. "That is why we allow easy log in with Facebook and are the only company to keep track automatically of all your searches and all the listings that you have requested details for."

Innovation and ingenuity remain at the heart of everything propertyfinder.ae does. Reflecting this commitment, the company was recently awarded the prestigious 2015 Frost & Sullivan Middle East Customer Value Leadership Award for Online Property Portal.
