Features

Quick Add Diary Appointment

A completely new way of creating diary appointments has been added to LetMC Agent; Quick Add Appointment. Found on the "Diary" page, the new action displays the diary for the selected staff member and allows you to link it to:

• A Guest (Any person on the system)
• A Lettings Property
• A Sales Property

Double-clicking on a time in the diary selects the date and time for you. The default appointment is one hour and can be resized to allow for more or less time.

agentVal

agentVal gives you insights into your competitors and the local market to support you on your next market appraisal.

By searching a property you get the current market averages of sale and rental prices, average days to sale and let, and what percentage of the total market stock is being reduced/overvalued.

agentVal then lists your top performing competitors and how they compare to the market averages with a traffic light summary.

Further supported by competitors recently sold and let properties information, and what they went for.

"agentVal" can be found in the navigation ribbon, to the right of "Office".

Enter the property address or postcode and select the address from the results.

Specify property details.
