PropTech News on Estate Agent Networking!
August 6, 2015
Just a very quick announcement to say that we have now a dedicated section for all topics related to PropTech. This subject is quite an open one and covers many sectors of the industry, but with so many new ideas and many new businesses launching recently we thought that a section for those within this sector would be a good thing.
As always, it is free to share blog content on our website and we are happy for you to promote what you bring to the industry so long as it is done in an educational and engaging manner that our readers, mostly estate agents, would find useful and more likely then to contact you to find out more.
