Media Coverage: Estate Agency Times

February 2008 portals supplement, 01/02/2008

The quotation portal market has been on a fast-paced journey in recent years as technology develops at a rapid rate and consumers put increased pressure on service providers to deliver instantaneous quotes for products and services.  It has been an exciting time for those operating in the portals market as Rosie Rogers of Reallymoving.com the UK’s number one ‘moving services’ portal, explores:

“The property market has evolved quickly to embrace online portals and deliver consumers what they want, when they want it.  And, this is true of the moving services portals although it is fair to say that this industry is yet to experience its expected surge….but it’s coming.

“As consumers on the whole turn to the internet increasingly to deal with all elements of their lives, portals are becoming THE way to access all information quickly and effectively.  The range of services now available is incredibly wide from house removals, conveyancing solicitors, chartered surveyors, HIP providers and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) providers.  If we want something we go online and check out prices and source contact information – any company’s not yet on a comparison site are really missing a trick.

“Looking further ahead to the future of the portal industry there are some really exciting developments on the horizon.  We expect focus to shift to mobile search within the moving services sector and as a result portals are enhancing websites to ensure they are WAP enabled.  This will give both service providers and consumers an additional even quicker method of search.”
