About Me

my expertise in the industry

Glenn's Recent Activity

As a small one operation Right Move is a critical platform for me. I have tried other portals without success and actually find the team behind Right Move far superior. I dont think it is expensive for what you get and there are credible tools that help the agency if you want to spend a bit more money. Thats the good bit, the monopoly through lack of alternatives though is frightening. The way they multi level sell on postcodes is becoming alarming and the consumer is a sitting duck to price hikes. The ability of big money to monopolise areas is a compromise to the industry maintaining professionalism. I have complained that agents working from home have the same status as agents working from offices who have employees and rents to pay but all portals have leveled the playing field in that respect and I think that is the industries real long term problem. By this I mean tumbling commission rates and the inability to govern the industry. Back in the day the NAEA was credible the alternatives today dont seem to be taken seriously nor are there any bodies that sellers respect when choosing an agent. Thats my view.

Flock off - used like that is it still not offensive ? Im with the authorities, theirs no need for the obvious comparison to the swear word. It s not a word that bothers me but some people get really insulted and while I get the humour I think there are probably better ways to catch the eye. Locally we have a sign that says for fox sake slow down, its a blatant comparison to the swear word.

a key feature is that Substrate also comes with the ability to implement forkless runtime upgrades. honestly is this actually for real I mean what the hell does that even mean?

I said probably clever clogs, focus on my point, taxing the rich, trying to demonstrate superiority is arrogant.

Do people with higher value properties get more service from the Council then or is this just a tax on the rich? They probably have less in there bins, use the Police less and dont have street lights outside there houses.

This is a right laugh. The guy has done a promotion video with a tongue in cheek narrative and we are going off on some way to analyse it. Im certainly not going to rise to a justification or mission statement. Good lad rock on mate

Doubt the case ever happened PB made it up to make them look diverse and attract business. Have there name repeatedly mentioned, new marketing director did I hear was employed recently... There will be more ridiculous claims on there way to counter the bad publicity change the focus. Very clever

From: Glenn Taylor 28 January 2022 16:42 PM

I worry that PB have used this episode for there own publicity and I think that is disgraceful. In doing so they are provoking needless argument. I would have given the choice to the vendor you see the buyer or you make the choice to sack me as the agent. I would then hold them to contract for 12 weeks to think about the error of there judgment in the 20th century.

I would advocate getting the searches up front but not items that can be addressed pdq. My problem is I am doing the sales issuing HOTs and then watching nothing develop with any speed slowing down more when you chase. The respect for agents is at an all time low caused by our obsession to self destruct our professionalism and present ourselves as carpet salespeople. To discount and claim the job is unskilled. When it is actually, when done properly, a marvelous skill but I digress sorry.

Demand PropertyMARK investigates

From: Glenn Taylor 16 December 2021 16:19 PM

Its a conflict of interest. The buyer would sign a fee contract of course at the beginning of the sale, but I dont believe you take a fee when you are acting for the other side as you are duty bound to get the best price for the person you are acting for. Propertymark should ban such activities. You can always get a fee from the buyer if you are acquiring the property and not advising the seller but this isn't the same. Conflict of interest meaning a situation in which a person is in a position to derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in their official capacity.

No mention of the failed planning system holding up consent delivery then? Hugely reduced planning officers, section 106 agreements involving the NHS on new medical centres at a standstill. Mix that with no building materials and you have it `a broken housing supply system which the Government completely ignores. We have been heading this way for 2 years at least , the shallow brexit years always forgotten and then the pandemic shutting the system down. I think it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Are we heading for a depression??

Made me laugh, not the sad news of the agent closing but the image of the new version of estate agent eating toast , feeding the kids , while having a phone in the other hand trying booking a valuation for a fee of peanuts when I am paying thousands in tax and wages and countless ineffective social media platforms working tirelessly for my team to earn good commissions, teaching many who ironically go on to work from home. And thats the point where do these online people get trained, yes by us true professionals. The High Street is far from dead and will prevail.

That is all anyone ever does on this site. Online agent support network.

Thank you Phil been meaning to look at this for a while great advice.

From: Glenn Taylor 06 October 2021 11:59 AM

what a load of old nonsense, estate agency has lost all of its feel and professionalism and is governed by who spends the most money on exposure and pointless claims. valuations up by 42%, yes, maybe, to those paying the dosh for them. They have us by the nuts and they will break our industry. Bring back the papers through the letterbox.

Good on you, you dont have to explain yourself

No disrespect to Keir Starmer who I highly rate, his people just surf along looking for holes and places to attack the opposition.

Many agents forced to shut with no realistic compensation will go bust. This action also opens the door to the online for profit # organisations. Momentum is key, when you shut the doors and that is lost it takes the time one is closed to create the momentum again. As a service industry this has catastrophic ramifications to the long term health of the provision. We should dig deeper into detail for sure, work with common sense, any viewings should be cautiously organised. I do believe tales of incompetence are probably limited to the idiot factor that prevails generally among society and will never change and fines , big fines should act as deterrent. # online for profit meaning no control over viewings where vendors have to do it which surely is worse.

From: Glenn Taylor 11 January 2021 15:04 PM

I could never understand when vendors selected the cheapest fee then sold for 20 grand less than they should of because they had no guidance and no interest. Everything to make a profit, greed and ignorance combined.
