Remote Internet & Email Maintenance & Support for Estate Agents
How annoying is it when the internet or email "goes down" or
stops working?
Most businesses are completely reliant on these business tools to function
properly, yet many companies in London have very ad-hoc and disorganised
email and internet systems.
Search and Submit brings order and reliability to this chaos in a number of ways.
- Our fast response disaster recovery plans can get you up and running
with internet connectivity in a matter of hours. We have a number of all-purpose
internet accounts that we "lend" to customers in the event of
a disaster.
- Search and Submit designed email solutions allow you to access your
email from anywhere - home or office, on the road or overseas.
- Our internet and email solutions are documented, meaning getting any
settings or account information is as simple as a single phone call.
- Our solutions are cost effective, and centralised.
Examples of types of things we can help you with include: Setting up email accounts for new users, registering domain names, organising website hosting, broadband and dialup internet access, webmail access, MS outlook training, email standards, signatures and more.
Once Internet connectivity and Security have been established and stabilised, the next stage is to optimise the Email. Search and Submit Email package comes in two sizes, typically depending on the number of staff in the company;

Estate Agency Development
Real Estate Software & IT
We are active providers of internet
marketing and IT
support services to forward thinking and entrepreneurial UK Estate
Agents. We hope that you will find this website both practical and appropriately
written. As the property industry becomes more and more reliant on new
technology for the efficiencies it can bring to the day to day running
of estate agencies it finds itself at a tremendous disadvantage in this
new environment.
Estate Agents' hardware suppliers are not aware of property software
requirements and similarly national property portals are not interested
in the configuration of an office network. The deep domain expertise
needed to specify, purchase, implement, install and manage the estate
agency computer system efficiently does not exist in the industry and
why should it? By simplifying IT
purchasing, we are currently helping major independent estate agents
in the UK to benefit from massive increases in efficiency.
The true cost of connecting to the internet did not need calculating
10 years ago and some estate agents still consider that a lot of what
is needed can be had on the cheap or for free. Exposure to wider range
of estate agency IT suppliers has left estate agents more and more confused
as they begin to calculate the true cost of computer ownership.
The fact that not one company or person is directly responsible for overall problems is even more frustrating as estate agents are left at the mercy of adolescent help line staff, delivery men and software developers met at a distant trade show in a moment of weakness.

Individual UK suppliers tend to only cover their own individual niche, so when things go wrong there is ample opportunity for collective buck passing, right up the chain. Simple problems escalate to boiling point, as all concerned try desperately to avoid responsibility for the true cost of the system. The Herculean task of just getting it all to work in the first place results in a long-term mistrust of the industry, bypassing all of the benefits the technology was originally purchased for.
Our estate agents clients make only one call when resolving any computer related issue. This policy liberates the client's staff to concentrate on lucrative property business, decreases operating expenses and maximises the return on their computing investment.

Estate Agents Software
Technology should be playing a big role in any estate agents and when used correctly can have a marked effect on service levels in two distinct areas.
Use of technology can help improve property management, back office efficiency, marketing, advertising and other front office functions.
Those estate agents that are not embracing technology are in danger of being left behind by the rest of the field. For Estate Agents wanting to take advantage of technology, this site offers excellent educational content and is and ideal way to learn about current estate agency marketing and real estate software developments.
