ESTATE AGENCY SOFTWARE

The BaySoft Smartphone / Mobile App For Estate Agents

At BaySoft we're always keen to embrace the latest technology. Many of us have enjoyed the I-Phone for a while now, but recently smart phones have suddenly become affordable, with the HTC Wildfire & Desire, and the Samsung Galaxy series coming onto the market.

We know that some of your data would be really hand to you on the move, so we've developed a smart-phone app to compliment our software. We are very likely to add to this in the future. Have a look at some of the features.

	Designed To Be Useable We're sure it hasn't escaped your attention that it's often quite difficult to tap the right area of the screen when using a Smartphone - so we've tried to design each screen to be tap-friendly, with large, easy targets. Data entry can also be difficult on these devices, with the on-screen keyboards often being too small. For this reason, we provide the option to remain logged in for 14 days, meaning that if you use the app at least once every 14 days you should never need to log in! Functionality to-date offers read-only access to your office diary and contacts. There is also a property search facilitated, and a smart-paragraph builder so that you can quickly create your property particulars at the vendors' premises.
	Access To Your Office Diary The day-do-day running of your agency is likely to centre around your office diary. You need to know who should be where, and when. It's also useful to know the addresses and contact details of each appointment. Our simple-to use diary screen provides quick and easy access to each person's diary (defaulting to your own), and all relevant contact and address details. You can look ahead by simply clicking the day that you are interested in.
	Access To Your Contacts Being able to find a contact and get at their details whilst out-and-about is really important. This useful screen will allow you to look-up the contact details of any person in your contactsregister. This includes applicants, vendors, solicitors, sales boards people and any other contact. The search is facilitated by simple text entry, and returns a list of names and contact numbers in the grid. There is also a tick to indicate whether the contact is a vendor and / or applicant.
	Viewing Contact Details Tapping a contact in the grid will open their full details for you at the top of the screen. Details include: Name Address Email address (tap to use!) Home, day and mobile telephone numbers (tap to use!) Fax number Last Contact Date Tapping anywhere in the details box (other than on a tap-to-use item) will close it.
	Search Your Properties On The Move We know that the good estate agent is always keen, and never misses and opportunity to sell! For this reason, we've included a property search with our mobile app. You can search by: Part of address Property type (Sales, Lettings, Overseas or Commercial) Maximum price Minimum number of beds Leaving an item blank will cause it to be ignored in the search. Tapping the button will bring up your results.
	Property Search Results The property search results come up in a text grid. We don't include images because they will slow down the app, and push up your data bill. Useful information such as reference, full address, number of bedrooms and price are shown in the grid. To view a full schedule of property details, simply tap on a property in the grid.
	Property Details The property details are designed in such a fashion as to be able to show them to an interested party, without overwhelming them with information. A generous image of the property is included, followed by the price, number of bedrooms, bullet points and main description.
	Property Details Continued ... The full room details of the property are then listed - including title, measurement and description. Hopefully, this neatly presented property record will be enough to entice a viewing! If you are visiting a vendor's property to create their particulars, then there is a "Build Paragraphs" button offered at the end of the schedule. This will take you to our fast and powerful paragraph building tool.
	Build Your Property Particulars Quickly And Easily On-Premises! Our powerful paragraph builder lets you create your property paragraphs whilst at the vendor's premises. This smart tool offers you choices based on your own data, automatically tailoring itself to your style. You can pick rooms to add from a list created from your previous property data. Simply tap on a room to add it to the list, or use the insert a room feature. Rooms can be moved up or down in order, and can be removed is needs be. Tapping "Edit" will open the room for text entry.
	Fast, Simple & Accurate Details You may enter free text into the room details - however, the fastest way to build the specifics of the room is to use our tap-and-insert list. This clever list is build from your own property data - based on how you have described this room in the past. Simply scroll down the list and tap each item that is relevant. It will be added to your room description in a manner that is acceptable under the property misdescriptions act. As you add an item, it will turn green in the list, so that you can see what you've already added, and don't double up. Click on "Save" to save your changes.
