One Agency has added two new services to their turnkey solution, to make it easier than ever for agents to set up their own businesses, and keep more of their gross income.
One Agency founder and CEO Paul Davies said the group’s 620-plus agents and new recruits can now outsource their trust accounting and compliance, as well as their social media marketing to trusted, high-quality providers.
“A major obstacle that holds agents back from going out on their own is having to manage their own trust accounting and compliance. So we’ve solved that problem by establishing an alliance with Think Cloud Solutions, which can manage those crucial back-office tasks on behalf of the new business owner,” he said.
“Another issue is that some agents feel overwhelmed by the thought of having to handle their own social media. So we’ve solved that problem too, through an alliance with Bespoke Media, which can provide business owners with all the content they’d ever need”.
With these two new services, One Agency now offers a complete turnkey solution, so agents can focus on listing, selling and/or leasing – and increasing their retained income – from the moment they start their new business.
Mr Davies said that, since Covid started, One Agency had not only experienced an increase in enquiries, but had also been having different conversations.
“People’s priorities have changed. An increasing number of agents want to take control of their lives by starting their own businesses, but not be burdened with the responsibilities of handling essential but non-dollar-producing activities” he said.
“Also, now that work-from-home has been normalised, quite a few of them have concluded they no longer need to work from expensive offices or shop-fronts. So they’re attracted to joining a group like One Agency, which is happy for them to work ‘remotely’, and also doesn’t charge them fees on turnover.”
New business owners can outsource tricky tasks to specialist providers
Think Cloud Solutions will help One Agency licensees maintain their trust accounts, and ensure their daily and monthly processes and reporting are compliant with legislation.
Director Sonia Rahme said trust accounting can be a tricky skill to master, so outsourcing lets principals relieve themselves of a major stress.
“Some real estate businesses don’t reconcile their accounts at the end of each month, which is a legal obligation in every state. Others carry the same mistakes over from month to month, because the accounting is done by a staff member who isn’t properly trained in that area. But when you use a trust accounting specialist, the job gets done properly,” she said.
Bespoke Media will provide One Agency licensees with a wide range of branded and compliant social media content, for both organic and paid social media campaigns.
Founder Nic Fren said the less time agents have to spend on social media, the more time they can spend on dollar-productive activities.
“Creating content and doing social media is important, but it’s also incredibly time-consuming. Agents need to focus on listing and selling, which is why outsourcing to a specialist just makes their lives so much easier.”
