What Has The Pandemic Taught Us and How Has The Market Changed?
White Label rental property management companies boost profits & irradicate cost. With more than 10 estate agencies per week going bust, it’s fair to say that Covid-19 has changed everything for estate agencies and rental property management companies. Only the fittest will survive so right now, it’s all about growth. But growth comes with cost, particularly in the lettings industry. More admin staff, more fees, more everything except sales. Some argue that the days of the high-street estate agency are over, but I doubt that’s the case – at least in the near term.
