Estate agents wanting to break into lettings should look no further than Aspasia

Software provider Aspasia has joined forces with Touchstone Asset Management to provide a low cost, low risk solution for estate agents wanting to expand into lettings.

Web-based Aspasia is the most advanced solution on the market. Handling every aspect of the estate and letting agency business, it provides agents with a secure live network, accessible from anywhere. Those attracted by the business potential of lettings, but daunted by complex accounting and property management can simply implement Aspasia. The system allows negotiators to focus on what they do best with the confidence that Touchstone, connected to the same system, can take care of everything behind the scenes.

Stewart Anderson, managing director of Aspasia, says; “Lettings is an obvious expansion route for estate agents, but the investment required to establish in-house accounting and property management capabilities often slows their growth or even deters agents from entering the market all together.

“Our partnership with Touchstone provides the perfect solution. Touchstone is experienced in all back office functions and in every aspect of Aspasia. The software system means that Touchstone can share a live network with its clients. Touchstone can access all the information required to manage accounting and property management functions, whilst the clients retain complete visibility of this aspect of their business.”

Tim Saunders, managing director of Touchstone, says; “Touchstone provides a completely seamless and virtual office for estate agents. All correspondence is distributed using the agent's branded stationery and we allocate all our clients with a dedicated account manager, phone line, email address etc, so it always appears as though customers are dealing directly with the estate agent.”

Operating on a rental basis, Aspasia offers estate agents a low cost software solution, with minimal upfront fees and no long-term contracts. What's more, Touchstone works with clients to agree the most appropriate fee structure, whether that is a percentage of income generated or a fixed monthly fee, so clients can be assured to develop the right solution to maximise their future growth potential.
