Homes-On-Line gets to the core of agency software


Property portal website Homes-On-Line has linked with estate agency software supplier Core Systems to develop a powerful new integrated package which will give estate agents the best of all worlds by enabling them to prepare property details which can then be published on several different websites in one easy operation.
The new 'Core Converter' package, which is being offered to clients of both Homes-On-Line and Core Systems, was launched after an extensive review of estate agency software providers by Homes-On-Line to see which company could provide the best technology for its clients and the best fit with its own style of operations.
Homes-On-Line Managing Director Guy Baker said: "Although we already work closely with several providers, Core have a high quality product which is at the cutting edge of this particular type of technology and which is well-respected by estate agents. The company also has a hands-on management style that keeps them in touch with what estate agents want from their software. All these factors were important considerations when deciding who would make the best fit for ourselves and our clients."
Using the new software, estate agents who have both the Core and Homes-On-Line systems will be able to update their database of properties for sale and have the information automatically transmitted to the Homes-On-Line website and other property portals to which they are linked when they connect to the Internet.

The package enables all property details and as many photographs as estate agent wish to be uploaded to their site as well as floor plans and other graphics.
Although only launched in April, the new package has already aroused much interest amongst small to medium sized independent estate agents - Homes-On-Line's main market - with five agencies requesting a demonstration and going on to buy the package within days of it being launched. Guy Baker said: "The ability for estate agents to seamlessly update not only their own website but also their pages on Homes-On-Line.com and other portal websites such as Fish4Homes, Rightmove, PropertyFinder and Yahoo.co.uk in one simple operation is a great time saver."
The new software is being supplied free of charge by Homes-On-Line to agents who subscribe to their Silver, Gold or Platinum packages.
