NEW YORK April 21, 2009, Gabriels Technology Solutions, the leading private-label e-commerce provider today announced the recent re-launch of The New York Times Real Estate Portal (realestate.nytimes.com), along with its complementary site Great Homes and Destinations (www.greathomesanddestinations.com), which focuses on luxury and vacation homes nationally and internationally. The New York Times has partnered with Gabriels since 2001 by offering its advertisers and consumers award winning technology and comprehensive, expansive real estate content.
Gabriels provides an advanced search platform of high performance and scalability that allows users to search worldwide while selecting search criteria with ease of access. Gabriels portal search technology is built on the Endeca Information Access Platform designed to offer advanced Guided Navigation and sophisticated Content Spotlighting capabilities. Gabriels delivers a superior experience to nytimes.com site visitors, while offering a powerful administration suite for advertisers and media clients that include tools to create contextual advertising, premium placement opportunities, listing controls and editing features, along with a powerful reporting suite that includes listing level statistics.
The recently launched version of the site includes innovative smart search functionality with the ability to query listings via street address, neighborhood, city, zip code and web ID from a single field. Rich content such as neighborhood and city level information include demographic, recent sales history, and school information. The site also tracks price changes, so that consumers can monitor any price changes for listings of interest.
Advanced Mapping allows users to view listings within actual neighborhood boundaries that are distinguished on the map. The Map Area Search enables users to search listings as they navigate up a popular avenue, along the coast or block by block. Users can simply view nearby cities by distance (number of miles) providing a fast method of searching alternate locations of interest.
“The re-launch of The New York Times real estate portal is an important milestone, as it contains many tools that savvy consumers are now demanding, and represents the foundation upon which new innovative features can be built upon” says Tan Chan, Chief Operating Officer of Gabriels Technology.
