Well...here we go again people. Based on past experience I wouldn't trust these people as far as I could throw a for sale board.(in my honest opinion). I have been approached numerous times to link up with them, I refused point blank. I think that the advertising campaign vindicates my decision. To all agents who have signed up with them.... BEWARE!

Sadly, RM's decision to place such a high budget on advertising has been designed for one thing only... to remind the Great British Public where they can find the property portal of choice. RM's decision has little to do with appeasing Estate and Letting Agents, but has EVERYTHING to do with raising social demand and therefore raise pressure for agents to go back to RM and advertise on their site. This is a disappointing move from RM, but, not unexpected. They continue to use their size and considerable weight to drive the public to their site. Agents will feel the pressure to go back and use RM if they do not hold firm. Without getting all bitter and twisted, I ask us all to look and see what the dictionary definition of arrogance is! At this thime it is essential that ALL Estate and Letting agents use trade affiliations to make a stance to RM and be counted. The Guild of Property Estate Agents is doing a fantastic job for us, their membership. However, SAFEAGENT does not seem to want to get drawn into the argument which is a great shame. CVid will be here for a long time and our memories of the current situation will be etched with situations which help our businesses and converseley those which don't... SAFEAGENT where are you... you're very quiet over this???

I think that rightmove has been mugging estate agents for at least the last 10 years. They have a greedy monopoly on our advertising spend. Now is an ideal time for the WHOLE industry to abandon the portal and FORCE the public to change their appetite for property information to another portal(s). I have no sympathy for Rightmove who have manipulated their costs to suit their corporate greed. The tide is turning on this monopoly and Rightmove should now be thrown under the next bus! If ALL agents stick together we CAN and WILL change client habbit, it will take time and patience. #saynotorightmove

To all fellow business owners; This is your chance to knock these (Rightmove) shysters off their self elevated podium. They (Rightmove) have ripped us off now for years and years. Rightmove have this year increased their fees by nearly 10% for no other justification apart from corporate greed and the FACT that they have us business owners over a barrel. They (Rightmove) have their own greed to blame that they have got this so badly wrong!! I urge ALL business owners NOT to take their 75% discounted deal and not pay them (Rightmove) at all. To OTM and Zoopla; learn but Rightmove’s mistake; don’t take your market for granted!! Our industry is now in tatters, we are looking at 3 months plus of no money. Completions and move-ins are urged to be delayed. The answer is simple; don’t be greedy!! My message in short; cancel your direct debits fellow business owners and make these corporate muggers go bust. This is the best chance we have been waiting for for years!
