The "interactive mapping" on the front page would only work for the US. You would also need to modify the Google AJAX API to send you country code not the US when geocoding addresses. I can point you in the right direction for this.

Question:

You have some other "gadget" in your script like local schools, local news, weather and so on. is that something we can change to use for our country?

Answer:
The local schools is a web form the opens a new window into a school listing website with the user's search info. You would need to locate a website that has school info for your country then change the form fields and form action to that website. The weather is Yahoo RSS weather that is fetched using a zip code. Yahoo does offer international weather. You would need to modify the weather source to hard code a default weather because a zip code search is only for the US.

Question:

Agents, Do they get their "own site" where they can add as many houses and pictures as they want?

Answer:
The software doesn't differentiate between an agent or a member. However, member can login and manage their listing. Each listing has information about the seller populated by the member's information. Please try the member's section on the online demo:

Question:

You have a "quick search" on the top left side of your demo site. Is it possible to change the search criterea from "zip code" to city or other tings.

Sure, you will notice that all search forms, browse by state links all go to the same search results page. You can always take items from the advanced search and move them to the quick search by modifying the template files. The search results is very flexable you can even tell it to produce different types of output e.g. XML
