Call Handling Solutions for Letting Agents

Phone answering service awareness

The reason for the sponsorship? To raise awareness of how our phone answering service, can provide an outsourced reception solution to their incoming phone calls. Recently, a client of ours (To Let Wigan) commented on how ‘invaluable’ our service has proved and how he doesn’t know how he ‘survived without us’!

Surge in lettings

With the letting agents sector expecting to see a further surge in letting this year and next, we think it is imperative that you have a contingency plan to ensure that any new client calls that come to your office are captured. And with many placing their lettings online, with companies such as Rightmove, Zoopla and On The Market, businesses in this sector will want to ensure that any advertising costs using these sites is not wasted with missed calls.

Our PAs our very familiar within the letting industry

Our PAs excel in obtaining the information that their clients request. They are very familiar with the lettings industry and some have worked in the field, so are able to advise and are familiar with terminology and processes in this sector.

Some points of interest to note:-

• Separate research by Glide, speaking with 1,170 students last year, shows that two thirds of them claim to have experienced problems with a landlord or agent at some stage in their renting history. Many cited slow or no response to queries as their main concern.

• Northern house prices are set to rise, meaning more house purchases, and inevitably more houses will be let out.

Using an outsourced reception facility, such as our telephone handling service for letting agents, means that your calls will be answered (as if we were in your office) and any enquiries dealt with. See more benefits of using a telephone answering service here:-
