Rightmove has just launched a new mobile website

Rightmove has just launched a new mobile website allowing you to 'search for property to buy or rent in the UK from almost any mobile phone'.

Hardly any wonder with 90% of property searches initiated online and 48 percent of mobile phone users using their mobile phones for internet access at workplaces alone (1). And with an estimated 58 million PDAs to be sold worldwide in 2008 (2) the trend for mobile property search is only going one way.

Estate Solutions (www.estatesolutions.co.uk) offer the same capabilities to regular estate agencies but at a fraction of the price. esMobile is a revolutionary new way to display your properties and full property details on a mobile phone. Now your properties can be viewed by potential buyers on the bus, on holiday, or even standing beside an your sale or lettings board outside one of your properties.

Your clients can view full property details, photos, floor plans, descriptions and location maps all on their mobile phone.

Your vendors and landlords will be impressed that you are using leading edge technologies and your website will boast that 'you can search from anywhere, 24/7, for the latest properties right from your mobile phone or PDA!'

Solution found to FAP Editor website listings

Find A Property is one of the leading portals for property search in the UK and undoubtedly is vital for ensuring your property listings are available to the increasingly internet savvy band of property hunters.

Problem: You use FAP Editor to manage your applicants and properties and then just upload easily from within the software. The problem, as you know, is that to include the properties in your own bespoke website you have to use FAP listings within your website. That doesnt look good, doesnt fit in with your branding and can easily lead to your visitor wandering off onto another agencies properties and forgetting about you entirely. The alternative is to use the software or online control panel that your website development company gave you to upload your properties again. So now you have to upload and amend everything twice - once to FAP Editor and then to your website.

Solution: Having been inundated with requests from frustrated estate agencies, Estate Solutions have come up with ESUploader. Quite simply it sits in the background and automatically uploads properties from the FAP Editor database directly to your own website. Nothing is required from you - just use FAP Editor as you were previously. Simple as that.

Property News for Estate Agents websites

Estate agents looking to retain visitors to their websites need to look at more than just a pretty design. Most property hunters these days look at the big portals such as Rightmove or Primelocation and one property might be listed by several estate agents. So typically the buyer will visit each of the estate agent websites which are listing the property before deciding which to call.

What makes them decide on you?

First a professional looking website of course. Then extra information that other sites dont have - floorplans, more complete descriptions, more photos - anything which shows that this estate agent is the one to deal with.

What makes them hang around on your website - maybe checking out the rest of your properties in that area?

If a site makes an impression, gives extras such as live mapping of properties and things of interest then not only will they hang around longer, they'll come back. Estate Solutions have always offered all the above but now they offer a News Aggregation Service for property buyers, vendors, tenants and landlords. This area of your site will have up-to-the-hour news sourced constantly from all the major news agencies with interesting and relevant information. This might be the latest news on property prices, selling advice, HIPs etc. This is branded to your website - you appear the expert and someone to be consulted and trusted. They can even email their friends with news articles of interest.
