Iamproperty's partner network grows to over 5,000 estate agents

iamproperty has grown its Partner Agent network by 25 per cent in the last six months, now working with over 5,000 UK Estate Agency branches to help them accelerate their success and bring much-needed speed and security to the moving process.

The milestone is thanks to rapid growth, supported by the recent acquisition of SDL Auctions’ portfolio of Estate Agents who used its online Modern Method of Auction (MMoA) service, who have joined iamproperty’s network and are benefitting from its market-leading iamsold auction service.

Auction sales are continuing to increase each month as it’s proving a strong support for agents in a difficult market when transactions are slowing or even falling through due to uncertainty in the mortgage market, protecting transactions and pushing them through quickly is more important than ever. Currently, MMoA offers a completion rate of 95 per cent compared to the 70 per cent rate of Private Treaty.

Agents seeking out streamlined tech solutions that help to solve market problems has also boosted iamproperty’s network, with more branches using its iamproperty movebutler platform to digitise key parts of the moving process. iamproperty expects this to rise further before the end of the year with new launches including a Surveys module on the way.

Ben Ridgway, managing director of iamproperty, said: “We’re continuously innovating and working with agents to develop solutions that they really need, freeing them up to focus on what they do best. Our digitised solutions, designed to save them time, deliver incremental revenue and get clients move ready faster, allow them to do more of the parts of the job they love - and know that the rest is covered.”

Jamie Cooke, managing director for iamproperty’s auction service, iamsold, added: “The recent acquisition of SDL agents has gone a long way to helping us reach this milestone, cementing our position as the market leader of the Modern Method of Auction.

“With the current market conditions, we are continuing to see more agents and consumers turning to auction to secure their sales. Enhancements to our auction service are nearing launch, including a new bidding journey which will further modernise the online auction experience.”
