Bright, who takes over from managing director Jim Buckle in the expanded role, has followed a career path in senior management at real estate businesses and online media companies.
He brings a mix of property, online, marketing and management consulting experience to Propertyfinder.com and the UK market.
Bright has founded two businesses serving the Australian real estate industry -- True Property Management and True Real Estate Solutions -- and has served as a director on the boards of a number of real estate related companies.
"We have a tremendous brand and can offer our clients truly national coverage and our association with News International gives us access to some of the UK's finest newspapers to help promote our brand.
"We are in the fortunate position of being able to focus all our energies onto the thing that matters -- providing our customers with outstanding advertising solutions," Bright said.
Realestate.com.au is the 50% owner of Propertyfinder.com and managing director Simon Baker said: "We are extremely pleased to have someone of the calibre of Warren heading up Propertyfinder.com."
Newspaper groups seeking to buy into internet media properties turned their focus to property websites at the end of last year, with a slice of Propertyfinder going to News Corp for 拢14.3m.
