About PropertyAnt - Who we are?

PropertyAnt (formally known as Real-Elite) was first thought of in late 2004 by two friends from university, who had discussed the idea of starting a business together since the beginning of their tertiary studies. The idea and final decision to bring life to PropertyAnt was fuelled however by the belief that property websites at the time weren't fully utilizing the internets full potential and left ample room for improvement. As a result Real-Elite.com was started in early 2005 and then in 2007 re-branded to PropertyAnt.com.

Kiwi Owned - From a bedroom

PropertyAnt is proudly a 100% owned and operated New Zealand website which was and still is developed and operated from a bedroom no larger than a one car garage, giving meaning to the phrase "humble beginnings" :) However don't let our beginnings fool you, we service the world, so regardless of where you're located you can use our website to find and advertise property.

Real-Elite.com to PropertyAnt.com

We had been considering a name change for Real-Elite through out 2005, however it wasn't until late 2006 we decided to rename Real-Elite as we felt Real-Elite.com was not as effective a name for a property advertising website as PropertyAnt.com. We had originally planned to use PropertyAnt.com for a separate property website from Real-Elite but instead we felt it was better suited to replace Real-Elite. Although Real-Elite.com is no longer our main website domain name it still exists and will now forward people to PropertyAnt.com.

So what does the Ant in PropertyAnt mean?

Well we knew you would ask so here it is, the Ant in PropertyAnt stands for Advertising Network.
