21st June 2022

When starting an estate agency business we know that it can be a minefield when it comes to choosing providers for different aspects of your new venture. Property Hive can make the choice of website and CRM provider an easy one by offering everything that you might need in these already stressful times.

In this post we’ll outline just a few of the reasons why we believe Property Hive to be a great solution for your new property business:

Believe it or not, most of the functionality needed to run an estate agency website and CRM software is included as part of the free plugin. Yes, you read that right: completely 100% free.

As we don’t have physical offices or expensive hosting and servers to worry about, we can offer Property Hive and it’s features at an incredible price.
