HairPlant
A knowledge page for a clinic, in 中文 and English, where each reader with a question lands on a named consultant's WhatsApp, not on a form. Each listing sending its enquiry to its own agent works the same way.
Property agent and agency websites in Malaysia
What does a property agent website from CodaMinds include?
A property agent website from CodaMinds is a site for an agent or agency with listings you control, each enquiry sent to the WhatsApp of the agent who holds the listing, and viewing bookings. It runs in English, 中文 and Bahasa Melayu, loads fast on a phone, and we run it after launch.
Steven Lim started the studio in Kuala Lumpur in 2021 and has built apps and websites since 2016. We have not built a site for a property agency yet, and we would rather you read that here. What we would build draws on two products: HairPlant, a page we built for a clinic where every reader with a question lands on a named consultant's WhatsApp, and Ribbon, which runs bookings and chat every day. The person you message is the person who builds your site, in English, 中文 or Bahasa Melayu. We meet agents in person across the Klang Valley, and work with agencies in the rest of Malaysia, Singapore and further abroad over WhatsApp and a shared draft link.
What an agent needs from a website when the portals already exist
Property portals bring buyers and tenants, and they are where most searches start. They also show your listing beside the listings of every other agent for the same unit, and the buyer who enquires there belongs to whoever answers first. Your own site does a different job. It is where a buyer lands after they search your name, where your listings sit without anyone else's beside them, and where an enquiry reaches you and nobody else. Five things make it work.
Listings you control
Each listing is its own page with its own address: the photos, the floor plan, the price, the tenure, the facilities and the area around it. You or your agents add, edit and close listings from a console on the phone, without waiting for anyone. When a unit is sold or rented, you mark it once and it leaves the site, so a buyer never calls about a unit that went last month. Buyers filter by area, price, type and sale or rent, and a listing can be shared to WhatsApp with its photo and title showing in the chat.
Every enquiry to the right agent
In an agency, the enquiry has to reach the agent who holds the listing, not a shared inbox. Each listing carries its agent, and the WhatsApp button on that page opens a chat with that agent, with the listing's name already typed in the message. The agent knows which unit the buyer means before they say hello. When an agent leaves, their listings move to another agent in the console and every button follows. The owner sees how many enquiries each listing and each agent received.
Viewing bookings without the back-and-forth
A viewing takes several messages to arrange: which day, which time, is the tenant in, can the buyer bring their family. A viewing page asks those questions once. The agent sets the hours a unit can be viewed, the buyer picks a slot and leaves their name and number, and the booking lands in the agent's calendar with a confirmation to the buyer. A reminder goes out before the viewing with a link to change the time. The agent spends their messages on the buyers who need them.
Three languages, each a real page
Buyers and tenants in Malaysia search in English, 中文 and Bahasa Melayu, and a search in one language finds pages written in that language first. Each language is a real set of pages with its own address, so a buyer who searches in 中文 for a condo in a particular area can land on your 中文 listing page. A listing's description is written once per language in the console, and the agent can answer in the language the buyer wrote in.
Fast on a phone, on mobile data
Buyers browse listings on their phone, often standing outside the building. A listing page that takes too long to load on mobile data loses them to the portal. We size every photo for the screen it is shown on, load the gallery as the buyer scrolls, and keep the WhatsApp button on screen. Search engines also weigh how fast a page loads, so the same work helps a listing get found.
Advertising rules for property agents
Registered estate agents in Malaysia must follow their board's advertising rules, and how those rules apply to your website is for you to confirm with your board. We build the site so each page has room for the details you tell us to show, and we change the wording to match what you confirm. We do not give legal advice.
What we have built that a property site draws on
No property agency runs on our work yet. These two live products carry the pieces it needs.
Ribbon
Runs bookings, chat and payments every day in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. A viewing booked into an agent's calendar, with a confirmation and a reminder, is the same machinery.
What the work includes
Brief. You tell us how many agents you have, the areas and property types you list, the languages, and whether you want viewing bookings. We reply with questions and a written scope.
Fixed quote. One price for that scope, agreed before any work starts. Anything outside it is quoted first.
Draft on your phone. You open the draft link, add a listing as an agent would, then enquire and book a viewing as a buyer would, and tell us what to change. We revise until you sign off.
Launch. We put the site live on your domain, with hosting in your name or the agency's, and hand over every file, the console included.
Care after launch. A new agent, a new project launch page or a change to the listing form is a message away, each quoted before it starts. See website maintenance.
Questions
Do I still need the property portals if I have my own website?
Yes, most agents keep both. The portals are where many searches start. Your own site is where buyers land when they search your name, where your listings sit without anyone else's beside them, and where an enquiry reaches you directly. The two work together.
Can each listing send enquiries to the right agent?
Yes. Each listing carries the agent who holds it, and its WhatsApp button opens a chat with that agent with the listing's name already typed in. When an agent leaves, their listings move to another agent in the console and the buttons follow. The owner sees enquiries per listing and per agent.
Can buyers book a viewing on the website?
Yes. The agent sets the hours a unit can be viewed, the buyer picks a slot and leaves their name and number, and the viewing lands in the agent's calendar. The buyer gets a confirmation and a reminder before the viewing with a link to change the time.
Can our agents update listings themselves?
Yes. Each agent signs in to the console on their phone and adds, edits or closes their own listings, with the photos sized for the site as they upload. The owner can see and change every listing. A sold or rented unit is marked once and leaves the site.
Does the website follow the board's advertising rules?
Agents must follow their board's advertising rules, and how they apply to your site is for you to confirm with your board. We build each page with room for the details you tell us to show and match the wording to what you confirm. We do not give legal advice.
Have you built a property website before?
No, and we say so up front. What we would build draws on HairPlant, where every enquiry lands on a named consultant's WhatsApp, and on Ribbon, which runs bookings and chat every day. You add a listing and book a viewing on a working draft on your phone before you sign off.
