F.estate vs Estate Agents
Most estate agents help you get a tenant in — but what happens next?
Traditional agents might find you a tenant and handle the upfront paperwork, but after the move-in, things often fall apart. Emails get ignored. Contractors get lost. Tenants get frustrated. And you’re still chasing rent, repairs, or reminders yourself.
F.estate is different. It’s not a middleman — it’s the full operating system for managing long-term rentals, end to end.
Whether you're a landlord or a tenant, here’s why switching to F.estate means less stress, less cost, and a better rental experience.
Built to serve. Not extract.
Estate agents help you find a tenant. F.estate helps you run your rental business. No middlemen. Just modern tools for real-world rentals.
What Estate Agents Get Right
🏘 Local Expertise
Many estate agents have deep knowledge of their local market, and can help with in-person viewings or tenant selection.
🧾 Human Touch
Some landlords prefer dealing with people over platforms, especially if they don't like technology.
📣 Brand Recognition
Traditional agencies often carry trust due to name familiarity and high-street presence.
Where F.estate takes over
🔎 Total Transparency
No more waiting for updates. Track every job, payment, and message in real-time — no ghosting, no "I'll get back to you," no BS.
🧾 Everything in One Place
From contracts to compliance, inspections to disputes — you and your tenant see the same timeline. No more messy inboxes or lost documents.
🛠 Repairs, Not Delays
Assign and manage contractors directly or let tenants log issues themselves. Jobs get done faster because no one's playing telephone.
💸 Flat Fees, No Commission
Why pay 12% for a middleman who still makes you chase them, whose work is mostly admin? F.estate gives you real service for a fixed, transparent price.
