Just months after shouldering its way into England's antiquated\nreal estate industry, OneMove has scored a coup by bringing one of the leading\nreal estate companies in southern England under its umbrella of agents.\n\n\nOneMove recently signed on Townends - an award winning player in the hot\nUK real estate market - thus increasing the number of real estate agents\nwithin the OneMove system by 230% since launching its new web-site and\nsoftware in England three months ago.\n\n\n\"The signing of Townends is a big notch in our corporate measuring\nstick,\" said Vancouver-based Martin R.
