PROPERTY PORTALS LAUNCHES GATEWAY TO REVOLUTIONARY SERVICES  

A revolutionary online property services business that avoids expensive fees and combines a unique incentive scheme for people to earn money has been launched.

Property Portal’s unique services enables individuals to take control over the process of buying and selling, renting and letting, arranging a mortgage and insurances and to choose their legal service - as well as earn commission by becoming an introducer of the services to others.

Bridget Pearson, from Yarm in Stockton on Tees and Peter Robinson, from Shildon in County Durham – the co-creators of this new venture – share a combine 45 years of experience working in the property services industry.

Now, in their bid to help the improving property market, the two creators of this site are offering Teessiders the opportunity to use the advertising service for free.

“We took a hard look at the property services industry and established that the existing model doesn’t give people the independence and freedom of choice of how things are done,” said Peter.

“We wanted to create something that will provide our customers a better choice of service, tailored for their benefit, to give them the freedom to market their own property and to negotiate a price they are happy with rather than be guided by agents who deduct their fee.”

Sellers and landlords can easily create and upload a property advert using a cleverly designed select & insert template and their own photographs to accurately describe and show the best points of their property.

From the site – www.ourpropertyportal.co.uk - users can arrange the best mortgage deal and insurance premiums from the whole of the market and use the conveyancing wizard to compare prices, choose location and view satisfaction ratings from a nationwide panel of solicitors, all of which is conducted online.

There is also a unique bidding system sellers can use to speed up a sale which employs a similar process to that successfully used in Scotland where a property can be offered for bids over a set minimum acceptable price, before a given date. 

The site has been developed for homeowners and landlords who feel they are better placed to market their own properties by taking back control and for those who want to choose their legal service, mortgage provider and insurance company whilst avoiding expensive fees.

Unlike conventional estate agents who take a percentage cut of the sale price, Property Portals charge only a small amount for an advert on their website. Prices range from a free listing to £20, depending on the size of the advert package.

A unique incentive scheme also adds to the offering – individuals can, if they wish, sign up to use any or all of the services or to be an introducer, or both.

Introducers are given their own personalised version of the site to promote as their own business, sharing in the profits in the form of commissions every time business is generated through it.

Co-creator, Bridget Pearson, who has had an extensive career in financial services, said:

“This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone to make money as well as benefit from the services themselves – it’s the ultimate in property services and a fantastic home based business opportunity.

“Property Portals is easily recommended as it is a simple and cost effective way to take part in the property industry without having to trail about sourcing services from the vast number of different professionals or going down the estate agency route.”

“We are offering the advertising service free for a limited period which should be of interest to the people already marketing their property and also to those who may be considering selling or renting to try it out for free.”
