Placeonthemarket.co.uk, which began life last month and describes itself as a 'dating' website aimed specifically at matching sellers and estate agents, claims it has 6,000 agents signed up.
Its latest press release claims that Belvoir, Hamptons International, Connells, Hunters, Northwood and Century 21 are amongst the agents who we can contact on your behalf to make choosing your perfect estate agent partner that bit easier.
The website works like this. Sellers pay the site £1 and upload basic information about their home, plus photographs. Estate agents then apparently review and make proposals to market those homes and when a match is made the property information and photos can be downloaded into their own systems or website for free.
With a few simple details you can ask estate agents to make a proposal to market your home and ONLY when you've agreed terms our service will allow in just a few minutes your chosen estate agent can start marketing on their own website or a major property portal like Rightmove or Zoopla is the rather poorly worded statement from the website.
When Estate Agent Today contacted agents from some of the brands quoted in the Placeonthemarket press release, none had heard of the service however.

Well Sarah Beeney has a dating site as well as an online agent so why should the dating site angle be used on property
Quite!
Because decent agents would love to use poor quality owners own photos....not!
