Property and real estate sites are slowly emerging in Malaysia. However, among the sites, which would be the better site for this purpose? Today, we’ll take a look at two property and real estate sites which are PropWall and iProperty. Note that this review is done purely based on my point of view.

First up would be PropWall. This site in my opinion is pretty clean and simple, as soon as the homepage loads, first word that comes to my mind is simple. There are very minimal images and I would say 90% of the page is actually texts. With the dull colour combination used in this website, it doesn’t really please my eyes. Speaking of user-friendly, I would say yes it is because you won’t need to spend time finding for a certain section and such as the different sections are all shown at the top near the header. Well, from the looks of the logo, it is still in beta stage so hopefully it’ll improve in the near future.

Next we have iProperty. A quick background check on iProperty showed that they are not new and they have quite a network as iProperty is available in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India and Philippines. The experience does play a role as iProperty site is what I prefer over PropWall. Take a look at this site, some bright colours which won’t look too dull and you’ll see that this site is quite complicated on first glance but isn’t more information displayed better? This site is neat in another way that it packs information in and not junk. There are some quite handy features in this site as well like when you’re looking at a property, it would also match other property that meets similar criteria.
Conclusion, if you have been reading the comparison, you’ll know which site is the better for me based on my point of view. PropWall needs to revamp their site to make it more alive if you get what I mean. I don’t know about others but for me, I wouldn’t enjoy browsing a dull looking site if you were to make me compared PropWall and iProperty. In short, yes iProperty stands out in this case.

If you are ever an enthusiastic person whenever it comes to property, propwall.my is a website that you really should check out. Not only it is for property search, it is also useful to gain and share information with one another. Although it is still in beta, I feel that this site is already able to provide a good source of information to the public.

In my opinion, this website is constructed well enough to include the basic things that the public would like to see. The featured and top properties will definitely catch the attention of most viewers. However, although I mentioned that the website is constructed well enough, I feel that adding some colours to it would be better as it will definitely be an eye-candy. Of course I’m not asking for super fancy colours but probably some contrasting colours that would make viewers comfortable when viewing.
There’s also a list of top users featured and I think this is a good move to encourage more participation in the site from the users. Through this, an user will gain more exposure thus more people viewing his or her profile. Besides this, the other sections are all situated at the header and this ensures visibility and direct access to it rather than a hideous way just to get to a section.
In short, yes this site definitely have a lot of room for improvements but right now, it is still doing a good job in becoming a good source of information in properties within Malaysia. People would definitely benefit from this if they are interested in properties and would like to gain a little extra information of it. Kudos to the founders of this site!
