THE ORIGINAL CLOUD-BASED TECHNOLOGY FOR LETTINGS | PROPERTY MANAGEMENT | LETTINGS ACCOUNTS


Expert Agent is the original online, cloud based, technology solution for estate agents and lettings agents. It replaces old-fashioned-stuck-in-the-office estate agent software, and does everything you’d expect it to, and quite a bit more – from any PC, smartphone or iPad on the internet.

But the biggest difference? The people behind it: 24 committed, caring professionals. We’ve been in the agency software business since 1988, so have a real understanding of the day-to-day challenges that our customers face, and that we and our software must solve.

weekly applicant

emails to keep you

As well as everything you’d expect from modern software, here are some things you wouldn’t… Save time handling applicants

When an applicant registers on your website or on Rightmove, their details automatically populate your applicant list on Expert Agent and they get your ‘welcome’ email with a list of suitable properties. With this and every email you send them, they can update their details or requirements and even request viewing appointments – and you’re alerted the moment they do so.

ahead of the pack

Brilliant information for vendors • • •

Easily see feedback from each viewing, so you’re prepared when talking to vendors Confirm viewings by email, remind by text. See at a glance which still need confirming Give vendors their own log-in so they can see the viewings they’ve had, and the feedback received.

Evaulate Team Performance

Weekly applicant email keeps you front of mind

Dashboard to help you focus on your priorities

Social media made easy

With Expert Agent you can monitor your staff and branch performance and even compare your company performance against the average of the other members.

Each user can configure their dashboard to show what’s important in their job, so they can focus their efforts on their priorities, for example: • Applicants never matched / matched in last 14 days • Vendors whose contract with other agent expires in 7 days • and much more, all visible by negotiator, office or group.

An automatic weekly reminder email to all your ‘active’ applicants, showing properties matching their criteria – keeping your clients’ properties front of mind.

Love it or hate it, social media is here to stay, and Expert Agent makes it easy to promote your properties via Facebook and Twitter.

IT IS… having a system that clients see as a benefit “Have we ever gained a vendor because of Expert Agent? Definitely. One lady, a driving instructor, was on the market with another agent, and because she was an applicant with us we sent her regular email and text updates of new properties, which impressed her so much she switched her instruction to us.” Shaun Adams, Cooper Adams, East Preston, W. Sussex Read more www.expertagent.co.uk/clients

Choosing the right software is a big decision, but it’s just as important making sure the right company is behind it. The last 10 years have seen a string of software companies come and go, leaving their agency clients high and dry…

IT IS… a company you can depend on

Expert Agent has been going since 2003, we’ve been through two recessions and will be here for many more years. We’re profitable, and wellfunded privately (no big corporate or media group mind-set or agenda here!). Our products are well designed and thoroughly tested, because, well, this is all we do. We’re a team of 24 people, and between us we have 65 years of experience supplying software to estate agents and 20 years of volume residential estate agency experience. Several have been estate agents or lettings agents, which makes us well equipped to understand your challenges and help you take them on. In short, it is a company you can depend on. We’ve only been able to scratch the surface of everything that Expert Agent does for agents. You’ll find more on our website, or do please call us to set up a demo.
