Innovative web-based Estate Agency Novahomes Ltd is celebrating its 2nd Birthday with a Virtual Balloon Race starting on the 1st February 2008, with a £100 prize for the winner. The UK wide franchise, which originates from Crewkerne, Somerset, has experienced runaway success and now has over 20 agents running their own businesses across the country including Halifax, Yeovil, Taunton, Shaftsbury, Worcester, and Exmouth, with several more in the pipeline.

Founder directors Mark Savill and Jane Desforges invite you to join the celebrations and visit the Novahomes website, www.novahomes.co.uk where you will find details on how to release a virtual balloon with the chance to win the £100 prize money.

Novahomes is at the forefront of change in the industry; a recent HotProperty survey revealed an increasing trend towards online estate agency with only 38% of agents believing that high street premises will be necessary in 10 years time. Mark Savill is not surprised “I receive enquiries from experienced agents recognising changing consumer behaviour, looking for a business opportunity that allows them to deliver a more modern service to the homeowner”.

Jane Desforges is confident that their expansion is set to continue “we’re offering a proven brand that is both professional and affordable; it’s the perfect business platform for experienced agents who want the flexibility of setting up on their own”.

Ambitious Exmouth agent, Mark Salter, believes his business’s speed of growth is down to basic economics, “We do not carry the burden of large overheads and can therefore charge an incredibly cheap fee to the seller. I am now one of the mainstream agents in Exmouth and I’ve set my sights on being number one!”
