Propertyshowrooms.com is proud to announce the expansion of its Agent Programme, a comprehensive database of re-sale properties used increasingly by a wide variety of global property agents and developers. The programme has already been highly successful in exposing worldwide re-sale property via propertyshowrooms.com's carefully controlled web database -- in just three months, the re-sales database has more than doubled and external sales have almost tripled.

Through the Agent Programme, Propertyshowrooms.com gives even the smallest of agents the ability instantly to reach a global audience while purchasers gain easy access to a huge range of very specific overseas property options. "The intention is to create the most versatile portal on the web, offering buyers the wide choice of properties that one local agent alone simply cannot supply," says Peter Mindenhall, Agent Administrator for the Programme. "It's an ongoing job, the idea being to give all kinds of agents in every corner of the world maximum exposure for their re-sale properties while being at the top of the search engines."

"From the clients' perspective, where re-sale property is concerned, we find that most of them, after initially browsing, prefer the personalized and more refined approach they get from the smaller and mid-size agents. With their specific enquiry being sent directly to this type of agent, without unnecessary phone calls from so called "brokers", we find the client receives a better service, while avoiding the more impersonal "hard-sell" approach from corporate style agents."

How it works is remarkably simple: After an initial interview, background and reference checks are done, an agreement is signed. Then, the agent can submit their database of listings in one of a number of ways; xml feed, excel spreadsheet, or MS Access database, allowing data to be kept up to date regularly. Propertyshowrooms.com then incorporates these listings into their resale search engine, allowing the public to make enquiries about specific properties, which are in turn forwarded directly to the agent concerned, through a unique management system. This allows the agent access to work accordingly, keeping notes, scheduling and defining the status of each sale. Propertyshowrooms.com is continually refining the system in terms of search criteria in order to generate the highest quality leads for the agents.

Some of the most attractive aspects of the Agent Programme are: a) there is no set up charge, only a commission on any resulting sales (percentage of the agent's commission); b) it enables reciprocal business with the option to enter the propertyshowrooms.com Partner Programme; c) for agent developers, it can enable fast tracking for Propertyshowrooms.com IPIN qualification, allowing agents to promote and sell their developments to a worldwide audience, with a powerful branding and sales team behind them and d) provided the correct data is in place, propertyshowrooms.com now has a formula that enables agents to put properties onto the site and generate enquiries within days.

Continued expansion is integral to the success of the Agent Programme. Peter Mindenhall explains, "With our agent database already covering 40 countries, some people assume there's no room for more -- on the contrary, the more agents and properties there are on the site, the more specific a search the client can do. This, in turn, can only improve the quality of the resulting enquiries from an agent's point of view."

Following its overwhelming success so far, The Agent Programme now expects to reach its target of a further 25-35% increase in agents and property listings by the end of this year.
