Robert Ellis

As a firm of Estate Agents and Chartered Surveyors, we have benefited greatly over the last five years from our PropertyPro software, which offers a simple format providing current information throughout our firm in real time, whilst giving us an invaluable archive system from which we can create new business.

For us the strength of PropertyPro has been a strong personal connection with PropertyPro management and staff that has generally led to the few problems we have had being resolved swiftly, whilst overall our IT installations have benefited from using PropertyPro as our IT provider. A good useable software package, and a good reliable IT provider.

Red Brick Estate Agents

I established Red Brick Estate Agents in Rugby earlier this year. I have had previous experience of various software packages but chose PropertyPro because it seemed much more flexible.

It has had a significant bearing on the way things have gone for the business. In the first instance it allowed us to manage what we had more efficiently.

Recently we have opened a second office and the systems interact very effectively.

The package is comprehensive and has undoubtedly allowed us to maximise opportunities we would otherwise have missed.

If we have any problems the PropertyPro team assist very quickly. I cannot remember an instance when a query has not been solved over the phone or with a call back after a short period.

It has given me both control and flexibility, which are extremely important to the business.

Ferrino & Partners

I would highly recommend PropertyPro to any other estate agent, whether they are just starting out or well established.

The system is comprehensive and takes care of all our requirements.

We started the business 18 months ago. Before that we did six months of independent research into various software providers, and what we required from them. We chose PropertyPro because it offered the complete package.

The post-installation care has been excellent. There is always someone to take our calls and take not of what we tell them.

We are hoping to expand in the future, which is why we choose a system we knew would cope with the demands of multi branches.

I believe we are getting value for money and I am pleased with the whole package.

Knight Partnership

The latest version of PropertyPro is absolutely rock solid. It really is bomb proof.

We looked into numerous options before deciding to install PropertyPro three years ago. Previously we had used in-house software. PropertyPro took all our data from eight or nine years in business and converted it on to its own package.

It is worlds apart from other software we have come across. It matches mails much more successfully and sends texts. You name it, PropertyPro does it. The laptops link in to the main network at the press of a button they are synchronised.

The initial training, and refresher training, has been fantastic. It is a growing system and we get all the latest updates, and importantly the staff at PropertyPro listen to what you have to say.

The 24/7 support is an added bonus. For the price we paid, I would say it is a very good deal. It is undoubtedly value for money.

Robinson Estate Agents

To whom it may concern,

This is just a quick note to say I have just finished an absorbing and educational training day at your offices. I left with a real feeling that I understand the workings of PropertyPro.

Of course the day was made easier with the help and enthusiasm of Trish. She is a wonderful teacher and a good laugh - just what you need on a training day!

Everyone I have dealt with at CSL has been attentive and understands my needs. I have complete confidence in all your staff, you have a good product in PropertyPro but most importantly it is backed up by a knowledgeable team.

Please pass on my thanks to all those who have dealt with me.

Jackson Green & Preston

After thoroughly researching the market and looking at the main competitors, we came to the conclusion that CSL with PropertyPro, offered the best software for our Estate Agency business.

After installing PropertyPro earlier this year, both our offices are fully computerised with regular data transfer taking place between the two offices.

The flexibility and scope of the software appears almost limitless. It is very user friendly and the ease in which details can be e-mailed is particularly useful.

We have found CSL to be a friendly and responsive company with an excellent product.

Diane Arkell

To whom it may concern,

Re: CSL and PropertyPro

After working in High Street Estate Agency branches for seven years, I decided to set up my own business in November of 2002 as I was convinced that a "personal" approach was desperately needed in the industry.

With today's technology I made the decision to operate all alone from a back office, so obviously needed the support of a 100% reliable and efficient Estate Agency software package.

Several companies were contacted, but from the first phone call, CSL stood out as a company who fully understood my requirements and were there to help.

Following many telephone calls where the staff always remained patient and helpful, PropertyPro was selected. I have never looked back - I have the back up I need from my computer system and its technical support team - always willing to listen and assist.

After six months I now have a thriving business which I am still able to manage all alone, thanks in part to a system which is quick and easy to operate in every aspect from typing up the details, to upload to the web, to searching for suitable applicants, to logging progress and on to the sales letters and subsequently the invoices.

A marvellous system which I would highly recommend - way above any other systems I have used in the past.

Brown & Cockerill

To whom it may concern,

Since having PropertyPro installed in early 1999, we have been both pleased and impressed with the system. Being able to send or email property details the moment they are instructed has helped us keep a strong position in Rugby and Southam. Regular mail-outs at the touch of a button mean we are able to keep in contact with all of our purchasers easily and keep our properties in their mind.

We have our inter-office transfer programmed to happen overnight, meaning that both offices can run more efficiently. As data is exchanged on properties and customers everyday, we are confident that we can give our vendors the first class service that they look for. This also means we can assure potential vendors that their property details will be in front of waiting buyers instantly and help us list more property instructions.

CSL have constantly offered us support and help whenever it has been required giving us the confidence we need in this fast moving computer age. They have delivered everything that they promised and with regular upgrades to PropertyPro they have ensured that their product will to do everything an estate agent could want of it.

Star Computers

To whom it may concern,

When we decided to update our existing web site, which generated a lot of traffic but produced little in the way of sales, we were glad we spoke to PropertyPro. They listened hard in order to understand our business and what we wanted from an e-commerce site.

The end result was an excellent and well thought out, professional web site. The new site is easy for our customers to navigate around and to order from. Updating products and prices could not be simpler, and we are able to interrogate the site to constantly analyse our business and performance.

As our web site goals have become clearer, and we have wanted to fine-tune certain aspects of handling our site, PropertyPro have made alterations quickly, helping us continue to offer our customers the quality of service they have come to expect.

PropertyPro say, "building a web site is one thing, but building a site that generates business is another." We agree with them.

We are happy to be associated with PropertyPro and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a well-designed, easy to manage web site.

Lucas Estate Agents

To whom it may concern,

We have been using PropertyPro since June 1998. Since then we have watched the system develop and grow into the powerful management and selling tool that it now is. We are proud that a number of changes and enhancements that have been included in new releases have been in direct response to requests and discussions between Lucas Estate Agents and Comprehensive Solutions Ltd. It is pleasing that many of the discussions and meetings have been at your instigation and not just coming from us. It has been helpful to our business to take advantage of improvements provided within PropertyPro at the request of other estate agency users.

In recent months we have e-mailed details from PropertyPro in response to individual requests and as an automatic mail out of properties as they come onto the market. The response has been tremendous. Mrs B replied after receiving her first e-mailed details from us, "you were right, the format of your property details is much better than the other rubbish I have been sent through". Customers in general are very pleased and frequently amazed that we can send full details with multiple colour pictures while we are actually talking to them. It is not unusual to e-mail new instructions out during the day and to arrange the viewing for the same evening.

As well as gaining a competitive advantage by being able to respond instantly to requests for details, the e-mailing out to matched buyers as soon as a property becomes available, the price is changed or needs to be re-offered, means we are saving a great deal of money on printed literature.

We look forward to working with the new release of PropertyPro and seeing what exciting new features have been built in this time around.

Gregory Residential Limited

To whom it may concern,

The above property came onto the market mid December 2000. The vendors were abroad for the Christmas & New Year holiday, so the For Sale board was not erected. The Property appeared in the Leicester Mercury once before Christmas, but was published to our web site via PropertyPro. Over the Christmas period our offices were only open for two days for reduced hours.

The eventual purchasers of the property became aware of its availability via our web site and printed off the full property details at home. They then contacted our office on the Thursday before New Year to arrange a viewing on the 2nd of January. Following this they made an offer of the full asking price.
