Simplyzigzag.com Signs Up with Leading Umbrian Agency

Aug. 1, 2008 - PRLog -- Simplyzigzag.com, the premium online property group, has today agreed a strategic alliance with La Porte Verde, a leading estate agency in Umbria, to put all its Umbrian properties on its website.

La Porte Verde was set up in 2001 and has now become the top online estate agency in Italy, with over 30,000 hits a day. It sells property in Central Italy, which includes everything from holiday homes, villas, farm houses, apartments to small borgo’s; and prices on offer range from €30,000 to €3,000,000m

Graham Lane, Sales and Marketing Director at La Porte Verde, says:
“We are glad to have finally met an online estate agency that shares our goals – mainly going the extra mile for our clients. Simplyzigzag.com has shown this, be it with clients or with us and as they continue to expand in the UK and across Europe, we want to be a part of their network and vice-versa.”

La Porte Verde works in close association with over 100 estate agents throughout Central Italy. They currently offer over 350 properties in the region but that is set to increase dramatically as they have just opened their first franchise. La Porte Verde will take you through the entire buying procedure and visit the properties personally to make sure everything is in place. Furthermore, La Porte Verde offers additional services like maintenance, renovation or restoration and offers an after sales service to help the owner settle in.

Achim Amann, Director of Simplyzigzag.com, adds:
“La Porte Verde has a terrific reputation across Italy and we are delighted to have been offered this opportunity to partner with them. The Italian market is very popular with the British and we look forward to offering this region to our clients”.

Simplyzigzag.com (www.simplyzigzag.com), launched in June 2008, is an online property group that offers a no commission, web based estate agency in the UK and a direct sales platform to homeowners. Simplyzigzag.com capitalizes on this ideal by putting homeowners in control by allowing them to upload their property through its integrated platform, enabling an easy customer experience and giving homeowners the role of property marketer.
