8 tools that will save your estate agency hours

Between marketing properties, managing client communications, conducting valuations, and navigating legal paperwork, estate agents often find themselves bogged down by repetitive tasks. 

With the right tools, though, you can significantly streamline your processes, reduce administrative burdens, and boost your efficiency – while your competitors are left wondering how you did it.

Street.co.uk offers several powerful integrations designed to help estate agents save hours each week. Here, we’ll take a look at eight powerful tools that integrate seamlessly with Street.co.uk, giving you more time to focus on winning instructions and closing deals. 

1. Spectre Integration: Elevate Your Marketing with an All-in-One Digital and Print Solution

Spectre is the UK’s leading prospecting tool for estate agents, designed to help you win more instructions by leveraging the power of data-driven digital and print marketing.

With Spectre’s integration into Street.co.uk, agents gain seamless access to powerful prospecting tools that combine direct mail, digital marketing, and intelligent data insights in one cohesive platform.

Spectre empowers estate agents to run highly targeted campaigns that reach homeowners ready to sell, identifying those who may have contracts expiring with other agents or haven’t sold yet. The integrated platform allows you to manage both digital and print marketing from a single dashboard, tracking responses in real-time and tailoring follow-ups based on campaign performance. By automating much of the process, agents can focus on building client relationships while Spectre handles your marketing campaign distribution.

2. Street AI: Automate your day-to-day tasks

Street AI is an innovative tool designed to help estate agents work smarter, not harder, by automating tasks like writing property descriptions, client emails, editing photos, and collecting and summarising data for Listing Performance Reports

Street AI’s Custom Writing Styles means that you can train your own AI writing model to continuously create content that perfectly represents your brand’s unique character and tone of voice. 

The integration of Street AI into the Street.co.uk platform enhances how your agency operates by streamlining these everyday activities, reducing admin, and boosting productivity – without sacrificing your brand identity.

3. Auto.social Integration: Effortlessly market your properties on social media

Social media is one of the most effective ways to market properties and engage with potential buyers and vendors, but creating and scheduling posts across different platforms can be a hassle. 

Auto.social helps agents effortlessly market their properties and generate instructions and leads by posting professional-looking content, without needing to switch between multiple apps. This means more eyes on your listings and more engagement from potential buyers, all with minimal effort from your team. 

Street.co.uk’s integration with Spectre’s social media tool, Auto.social, allows estate agents to get new properties on their social channels automatically, freeing up time to focus on other areas of their business, whilst ensuring consistency.

4. Pattinson Auction: Seamlessly take properties to auction

Street.co.uk’s integration with Pattinson Auction enables estate agents to bring properties to auction easily, providing vendors with an alternative, transparent, and efficient method of sale – all from within Street CRM.

This not only helps clients see auction as a competitive option but also provides a faster route to completing transactions, often with reduced fall-through rates compared to traditional sales. For estate agents, this integration means you can expand your service offering without additional administrative burdens, giving clients more choices and increasing your revenue potential.

Street.co.uk’s integration makes it easy to assess which properties could benefit from an auction and then initiate the process in just a few clicks. Agents can monitor live bids and communicate updates to clients without leaving the platform, streamlining the auction process and ensuring that all stakeholders stay informed.

5. Moneypenny: Improve your customer service with virtual receptionists

Missed calls can mean missed opportunities, especially when you’re busy with viewings, meetings, or handling negotiations. Moneypenny, a leading provider of virtual receptionist services, integrates directly with Street.co.uk, so any leads or messages will automatically feed through to Street’s Enquiry Centre.

With Moneypenny, estate agents can benefit from professional receptionists who handle incoming calls and inquiries, freeing you up to focus on other tasks. These virtual receptionists can book viewings, take messages, and even manage after-hours calls, giving your agency a 24/7 presence without the need to hire additional staff.

7. Landmark and Smart Compliance: Stay compliant without the hassle

Estate agents must navigate a maze of compliance regulations, from anti-money laundering (AML) checks to data protection. Staying on top of these requirements can be challenging, but tools like Landmark and Smart Compliance make it easier.

Street.co.uk’s integration with these tools automates compliance checks, including AML and KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, ensuring that your agency remains compliant without the burden of manual administration. With automated workflows, you can manage compliance quickly and effectively, reducing the risk of errors and freeing up more time for other tasks.

So you’re always kept in the loop, as soon as a check is completed, its status will instantly update in Street.co.uk with passed or failed – meaning you no longer have to waste time chasing down clients to complete compliance tasks. 

8. WhatsApp: Prioritise smoother communication

With 90% of home movers using WhatsApp as a preferred communication tool, integrating with WhatsApp is a game-changer, allowing you to meet your clients where they are.

This means your estate agency can communicate with clients on a familiar platform, facilitating smoother conversations and faster responses. WhatsApp also allows agents to instantly share updates, schedules, and confirmations, ensuring that clients remain well-informed without lengthy phone calls​.
