Times Business Solutions launched MagicBricks.com in August '06, as a platform to bring together property seekers and sellers in the real estate industry. Within three months of its launch, MagicBricks.com achieved the status of being the No.1 property portal in India. With its revolutionary next-gen services customized specifically to address the real estate industry it has consolidated its position as the leader in the sector. MagicBricks.com provides a common platform for all users, and provides a space for property buyers & sellers to locate properties of interest and source information about all property related issues in a transparent and unambiguous process.

MagicBricks.com offers a pan - India coverage of over 800,000 listings, showcasing the Indian real-estate market. MagicBricks.com currently records over 10 million page-views per month, and comes packed with a host of tools, never witnessed before by Real-Estate Industry including Location Map Service, Email Alerts, Exclusive developer Micro-Sites, Virtual Walkthroughs, Rent Zone, etc.
MagicBricks.com observed that the majority of people, in this business, did not access the internet on a daily basis, but conducted their business over mobile phones. Thus the most valued services pioneered by MagicBricks.com, which further advanced its leadership, were the Mobile & Internet convergence services, with the launch of 'MagicSMS', 'Click to Call', 'Property Leads on SMS' and 'MagicBricks Mobile',.

Through the 'Magic SMS' service, users can send free SMS through the website to sellers for properties and buyers for requirements that interest them and with "Click to Call" users can call sellers for free through the site. MagicBricks.com also provides developers and real estate agents - 'Property Leads on SMS' - a premium service that offers instant SMS updates of new properties listed as per the subscriber's requirements.
