The Virtual Estate Agent™ software package

"As a new property-buying season gets under way, the net will again fill with details of houses for sale. Yet few websites are reliable enough to be really useful to prospective buyers. Why have many estate agents failed to see the web's potential as a selling tool?" (BBC News Online Magazine - Jan 2004).

Working with top estate agents Southern IT has developed a simple, tried and tested, cost effective software solution, The Virtual Estate Agent™, that addresses all of the concerns raised in the above article. This software is designed for estate agents, developers, surveyors, constructors and all property professionals. It has been described as 'the easiest to use and most effective property software on the market'. It will help you to increase your sales, increase the number of new instructions and gain the edge over your competitors.

"Five minutes after our email updates go out the 'phone starts to ring... this really works!" (Sumner Pridham Estate Agents, Tunbridge Wells)
