A new era in on-line services has dawned. No longer do real estate agents have to wonder or be afraid of the technology that is confronting them. With the vast array of Internet sites bombarding the public it is no wonder there is some confusion and procrastination. For relief, visit www.propertyprofessionals.com.au and discover the resources that are available to all levels of real estate practitioners, free.

The web site, www.propertyprofessionals.com.au is managed and maintained by Geoff Payne AAPI AREI. Geoff has been involved in the real estate industry for some 25 years and is a practicing real estate agent and valuer and as such, has an extensive working knowledge of the real estate industry. A passion for the Internet and how it can benefit his business and the property industry has motivated Geoff to develop an industry specific site that cuts across all industry boundaries.

The site has no affiliation or allegiance to any franchise or marketing or media group and it has a truly national focus. The site is therefore able to evolve with the needs and demands of the property industry.

You are able to find all industry related information, relevant to the day to day running of a real estate or valuation office. Whether you wish to find out the latest REI or API services, promote a property for sale (www.housesales.com.au), order a valuation (www.ozeval.com.au), help a customer relocate (www.relocationservices.com.au) or simply check the weather for Saturday's auction. On-line help is only an Internet connection away.

If you can't find the information you are looking for, Geoff is more than happy to find it for you and will update the information on the site for others with a similar query.

Looking for staff or want to buy or sell your rent roll or business? The Property Professionals web site has free classified advertisement s and a large database of on-line users wanting classified information sent to them.

Another popular innovation has been the question and answer section, where you are able to ask questions of other real estate practitioners. The site also features information on conferences and seminars, book releases and training and will post information of industry coming events free.

The property industry is moving through a period of accelerated change and the Internet, like it or not is part of the change. You need to decide whether or not you wish to use technology or have technology use you?

www.propertyprofessionals.com.au is part of a collation of specific industry information presented in a format that is of use to the industry. The information if you elect to use it, is an invaluable resource for your staff and a positive step toward improving professionalism in the property industry.

Geoff Payne is quick to advise that the Property Professionals web site is a dynamic site and is evolving quickly.

Geoff invites all property professionals to revisit the site and use the facilities that are available to you.
