IPAV SIGNS FORMAL PARTNERSHIP WITH DAFT.IE
 
   
IPAV recently signed a formal partnership agreement with leading property website Daft.ie to license the company's award-winning property search engine. The state of the art search engine technology developed by Daft.ie has been integrated into the newly-launched www.ipav.ie website and will allow 800+ IPAV auctioneers to promote their clients’ properties online at both www.ipav.ie and www.daft.ie.  
   
The new IPAV website already has over 8,000 properties for sale across Ireland, making it one of the top five property websites in Ireland. Daft.ie itself was recently certified as Ireland's number 1 property website by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABCE). As part of the deal, IPAV auctioneers will get access to Daft's huge audience of property buyers at special partnership rates.  
   
The technology created by Daft.ie for IPAV has won awards worldwide, the most recent from the UN World Summit Award for eBusiness, for its ease of use and innovative use of technology.  
   
“Now IPAV auctioneers can advertise their properties on both Daft.ie and their own website with just one or two clicks. Our system is extremely simple to use and should save auctioneers 100's of man hours a month.” said Eamonn Fallon, Director, Daft.ie  
   
IPAV President Seán Mason said the partnership with Daft.ie marked another new milestone in the growth and development of IPAV and he looked forward to growing the relationship in the months ahead.  
   
Daft.ie is Ireland's biggest property website, with the largest selection of residential property for sale in Ireland. It is also the primary online destination for commercial, overseas and residential property to let. In May, 2006, Daft.ie was independently certified by the Audit Bureau of Circulation as being the busiest website in Ireland. The audit confirmed that Daft.ie had requests for 27.6 million pages of information (Page Impressions) in May 2006, ahead of other well-known sites including; RTE.ie (22 million, May 06), Eircom.net (22 million, January 06) and MyHome.ie (18 million, October 05).
