A statement released by the UK’s Independent Network of Estate Agents (INEA) reveals that they have partnered with home.co.uk to provide a live feed of their agent listings to the UK portal.
As a result, the INEA say their listings will soon be found on nestoria.co.uk, Channel 4, Estate Angels, The Independent, AOL, The Telegraph, Globrix and Mouseprice.
“We are pleased to announce that a live feed has been created from INEA to home.co.uk” the INEA statement says.
“We strongly feel that the future of property portals and to the benefit of agents is portals and systems working together.”
home.co.uk seems to be a portal that is going places, with a revamp for 2009 already resulting in an increase in traffic to the portal.
And the INEA have also been very busy of late.
Trevor Mealham of the INEA took its RemoteAgent concept to Inman Connect in the New York earlier this month.
RemoteAgent is a media product that allows agents to “expand their brand” by taking their properties and services and their fellow agents’ mls listings to remote locations. An empty shop window, a shopping mall, café, or waiting room, anywhere really, with a portable video screen acting like a shop front window.
The INEA call it the “ultimate agents window”. It allows agents to take their listings to the people - rather than waiting for the people to come to them. The INEA hope it bridges the gap between shopfronts and the web.
As well as generating leads and potential revenue from third party advertisements, it also has scope for partnerships with other local businesses. Viewers can receive text messaged property lists and full details from RemoteAgent in around 30 seconds, delivered straight to their mobile.
INEA mls will be launching RemoteAgent in the UK early 2009. In the meantime, you can watch a video about Remote Agent here.
