Estate Agent Design 3

,

Estate Agent (Options)

Template Information:

These professionally designed, fully developed websites for the UK Estate Agency sector are presented and written in a friendly, jargon-free style. All sites are content-rich and feature-packed, covering sales, lettings & guides, interactive content and calls to action, all elegantly presented in cutting edge designs to attract a wider audience for your firm. For Estate Agents that have a financial services department our Financial & Mortgage content can be included on the site for a small charge.

The websites are sold as part of an integrated package including our Estate Pro real-time web-based Property Sales & Administration system. Each website is fully integrated with the back office system and therefore its search mechanism will always present your up to date available property stock.

For Estate Agents that already have a back office system, our templates can be purchased separately and integrated with all other available software.

Template Images

All images on your selected template will need to be replaced to avoid copyright issues. Contact us for access to a library of images which can be selected (to a value of 5 credits each). We can also arrange slideshow headers to replace fixed images at the top of the website, where appropriate. Please see Pricing and Additional Information section below for costs.

Training & Support

Training

We recommended you take advantage of at least one half day training session to help you get to grips with Estate Pro as quickly as possible.

Training can be conducted at your office or at our offices in Bournemouth. We suggest it would be advantageous for you to visit our offices in Bournemouth as we find that most people absorb the software far quicker when they are undisturbed and away from their busy agency environment

There is no limit on the number of people we can trained per session if you can make appropriate space and facilities available at your offices. Our training room in Bournemouth takes up to 10 people per session.
