William's Recent Activity

Independent agency in Buckinghamshire, 1 office and usually with a stock of around 20 properties which makes rightmove a scandalous sum of money at just under £1,000 + VAT per month. Zoopla £375 + VAT and OTM £150 + VAT come January. Zoopla and OTM have been approachable about their fees but as we all have experience of rightmove show no desire to discuss their rates. Also we all know that the only reason we stick with them is for fear of losing instructions rather than forfeiting an essential property sales tool, Zoopla and OTM equal if not out perform rightmove buyer leads now. If the election does not see a decisive outcome and the market continues to fester in this uncertain quagmire I am coming to terms with the fact I will have to drop rightmove to cut out my biggest expense. I like all of us just need to have the courage to break free from the self brainwashed bubble we have about 'needing to be on the site' Rightmove in my view will fail ultimately, a business funded by clients that despise it cannot flourish and survive, they either fail to see or fail to acknowledge that its whole income stream regards it as a necessary evil rather than a partner in success. One doesn't need to be Nostradamus to foretell that the end of this behemoth will be swift unfortunately. Like most big changes there needs to be a spark and when we are financially beaten into the final corner, either corporate entities or independents, the oppressed will revolt and no rat will be left on the sinking ship
