Anyone got a lead yet?

From: Mike Selley 15 November 2021 15:45 PM

This sounds more like Russell Quirke tyring to promote himself and put himself forward as a 'player' in the industry, rather than any value for agents. He has no credibility. What is Unisu? Ive never heard of it. Must be why, is Russell being paid to promote it? Any of the portal bosses that sign up to anything to do with this need their heads testing. All he wants is to stir the pot for his own gain. Utter waste of time.

More gaslighting from the Bruce Brothers. EAT reported that Boomin launched with over 5k agents back in March this year so that means despite they've only actually managed to get 1800 agency branches onboard in 4 months. So it's a fabrication to say that Boomin have 'achieved' hugely in that period. Remember they've been pushing Boomin on our industry for over a year, so actually it's taken them a year to get to this point.The real news is that they still haven't published any visitor numbers to the website and no one I know has had a lead yet. Looking at the user numbers on their Instagram and Facebook the figures are woefull, despite spending millions on advertising. When's the IPO again?

"Be kinder to agents". Maybe he should empathise with RM's disdain for agents given he was right there himself in 2017? Honestly, you would have to be devoid of common sense to buy into this.

Said it before and will keep saying it - spin. How many times do they meet? What influence do they have? Could I invite six members of the public into my office once a month for a coffee and send out a press release saying "the public partner" with my business and other empty platitudes before going on to do what I was going to do anyway? This whole thing has a whiff of over compensation, given their history of being against agents. Release the details and let us decide how much important this actually is!

This is the answer to the question no one asked. Absolute nonsense idea. Once again, be cautious with this lot, don't forget their past (which is usually the best indicator of the future).

I'm a big fan of what Jason is doing with OTM so I welcome this. I love that a former agent is at the helm. It just feels right to me. Quite an interesting read too.

They have acted quick quickly on the social media front and shouldn't be bounced into making a conclusion without investigating properly. If the employee is found to have posted it then I have every confidence they'll terminate his employment and rightly so.

From: Mike Selley 13 July 2021 09:53 AM

They really are turning it around. Joy to see.

From: Mike Selley 15 June 2021 18:14 PM

"okay Boomin" All spin, no substance. If they're going to steal OTM's clothes and dress themselves up as an "agents" portal then give us the details. 1. How many working groups have you got? 2. How many agents are on them? 3. What real, measurable influence have they had on the portal's direction? Come back to me with 1,2 &3 and let's have a debate about what's in agents best interests then.

From: Mike Selley 14 June 2021 12:30 PM

HIT Man, a first!!

From: Mike Selley 03 June 2021 10:24 AM

Maybe just provide leads before reinventing anything?

From: Mike Selley 03 June 2021 09:58 AM

Now we're talking. Well done Jason. I'm blue in the face from saying OTM is our "shot" as agents. News like this helps me make the case. Keep it up, ignore the naysayers.

From: Mike Selley 03 June 2021 08:50 AM

Well done. Again. I'm impressed with the direction they are taking. This is agent's best shot at a portal that works for them. I just hope we take it.

From: Mike Selley 24 May 2021 08:43 AM

More cosmetic nonsense. OnTheMarket have been doing agent outreach well, real conversations with agents and Jason has been doing some strong follow-up too. That said, I asked this before on a previous article and no-one replied. Will try again, is there an agent out there who can tell me why Boomin is the best prospect for agents? And why? I am genuinely curious why an agent would go with these guys given their track record.

From: Mike Selley 23 May 2021 19:25 PM

Big. This could change the game for them.

From: Mike Selley 13 May 2021 07:50 AM

Up to their old tricks again, why let the truth get in the way of a story. Michael Bruce saying it’s the strongest start ever. Lying to agents and the public won’t work a second time. These comments about it being the strongest start... where in this article is there any evidence of that? "Specific figures for visits to Boomin are not yet being released - Bruce promises they will be forthcoming in the future" If you believe this^ then please, pull up a chair... I have a bridge to sell you.

I think you all need to give Trevor a break here. I see he’s edited his comment but his original comment was that the judges in the case were bent – I agree. Think about it. Just for a moment, if you will. It’s 25 years ago. Our current Competition Tribunal Judge is a mere post-teen finding his way in the world. What career to pursue? I’m sure you can all sympathise. Why not law? Why not pursue a 7 year degree? Law it is! On our future judge goes… along the way devoting himself himself to the cause of professional advancement. Years pass, each case that comes before him he treats with due diligence and professional care until one day he is promoted to being a judge. ‘Yes!. I’ve made it. A judge? me? Now I can prove them all wrong.’ ‘I’ll bide my time before unleashing my wicked plan on the world’. He spends a few more years fooling everyone into thinking he’s an honest, upstanding judge with impeccable integrity until one fateful day… there it is. Could it be? Yes. It is. ‘Here’s the case where I finally show my hand’ he thinks. Forget the six figure salary, Jane and the kids can holiday on a yacht! Finally embracing his corruption. Maybe it was the slick OnTheMarket.com logo, or indeed the sheer excitement of veering into a proxy estate agent war. Geopolitics has nothing on this! ‘I’m going to give the WRONG judgment. I’m no longer straight. I’M BENT. And I LOVE IT.’ Months pass. The hearings conclude. Clear to everyone with a shred of common sense that a court case by an agent (funded by Zoopla) has nothing to do with Zoopla at all (and in fact that they are the real victims in all this) he decides to show how crooked he really is. Hillary who? Judgement Day – he decides. Against the agent. (Zoopla). Gasps in the courtroom. Trevor nearly loses his steady fantastic posture. (nearly). Thankfully, Trevor has brains (and a keyboard). He rushes home, logs in and declares the judge crooked. If only lady karma could act as quick as Trevor!!!! Judgement passes. Justice not served. The clink of champagne flutes. Jane and the judge are on a yacht watching the sunset. They've just finished dancing to Careless Whisper. ‘Honey, do you ever wonder what life would be like if we weren’t so crooked?’ ‘It was the right decision Jane, look how rich we are!’ ‘What about that Trevor man? isn’t he onto us?’ ‘Bah honey, no-one will believe him, never a prophet in your own land and all that’. Jane smiles as the beautiful sun sets on the scene. ‘I’m so glad my husband is bent!’ she thinks

60 plus agents paying £50.00 each for room hire and tea and coffee? Can we set up an action group of disgruntled agents to protest the fee for tea, coffee and room hire? Where does the extra resources go? Are people being paid for their services? Or is it fiscal gratitude for taking this valiant noble case to the big man upstairs (aka the agent controlled portal not trying to maintain a duopoly?). They should serve Irony sandwiches with the grand plus left over.

Three-tired cakes with people on top usually attract the most attention. It may not taste the best though.

From: Mike Selley 07 April 2016 11:16 AM

I think the real question here is who doesn't like cake.

I'm a big fan of Alex's. I remember back in 2001 before Google image search was as extensive as it was today cutting out a picture of him and framing it and putting it on my mantle piece. I would like to know what his star sign is? And also Pepsi or Coke?
