A new agency which will promote its properties online and in social media is marking itself out from the crowd by committing to put all of its profits into community projects - and by buying coffee for clients when they meet in cafes, inside or outside traditional office hours.
Property Cat does not operate from a physical office but restricts its activities to Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys and describes itself as a community-friendly and eco-friendly estate agent.
The website www.lovepropertycat.com carries properties for a fee of £575 upwards. It does on-site market appraisals, write EPCs for clients, and will use Zoopla and social media (@ecoestateagent on Twitter, for example) to promote properties, in addition to its own website.
Property Cat says it will turn your photographs into a virtual tour video as standard and will handle all viewing enquiries, provide a memorandum of sale and monitor the process through to completion.
Each vendor or landlord using the service to advertise a property will have a tree planted in their name and meetings take place with clients at a time of their convenience - outside of office hours, if required, with the suggestion that they be held in cafes.
The service is run by Catherine Wood, who has managed her own property portfolio for over 17 years.

Comments
Both meeting clients outside office hours and meeting them in cafes are very interesting ideas. It could also be a good compensation for the fact that Property Cat does not operate from a physical office. I would be interested in knowing how this goes!
