Announcement Management is a notification system feature that enables organizations to create, schedule, and deliver targeted messages to specific user groups within a platform. In iRealtee, this feature provides real estate brokerages with a centralized communication hub for broadcasting updates, policy changes, and time-sensitive information to agents and stakeholders.

Real-World Application
For Philippine real estate brokerages using iRealtee, Announcement Management serves as the primary channel for operational communications. Brokerage managers can instantly notify their agent network about DHSUD regulatory updates, BIR tax filing reminders, or changes to withholding tax requirements.
When a developer announces a new project phase or pricing adjustment, the brokerage can immediately broadcast this to all accredited agents. This eliminates delays from email chains and ensures every PRC-licensed broker receives critical information simultaneously.
The feature integrates with white-label branding, allowing each realty hub to customize announcement templates with their organization's visual identity.
