Estate Agency Office IT Management and Support
Large companies have the benefit of being able to hire a full time IT manager, and several technicians to look after their networks, however First Focus believes that smaller organisations should be able to access these benefits too. First Focus is happy to discuss outsourcing your IT management, giving you all the benefits of a highly experienced team, at a fraction of the price of full time staff.
Our Estate Agency Office IT management services include:
- Helping you allocate a fixed IT budget to best achieve your business
objectives
- Regular IT reviews, where we report to your management team on the status
of your IT environment
- Documentation of your network, usernames and passwords, configurations
and settings
- Asset tracking of all hardware and software in the company
- Definition of standard hardware and software platforms
- Planning upgrades to hardware and software where necessary
- Management of all warranty and license expiry dates
- Management of all hardware repairs and RMA claims
- Management of email policies and systems
- Definition and management of security and backup procedures
- Planning and managing increases in Bandwidth and network capacity
Many of these IT management services are bundled with support plans, and
we are happy to discuss how we can create a tailored package of services
to suit your requirements.
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.
