From: Colin Bain 14 September 2021 00:50 AM

ANother one like Lendy to go t~ts up

Woof will take a lot of them to get the message against R Move

From: Colin Bain 31 March 2021 00:17 AM

Yeah I remember them in the early 2000s

Good luck convincing agents to quote 1.2% rather than 1% plus vat

From: Colin Bain 16 November 2020 17:22 PM

I think they have serious cash though !!!

From: Colin Bain 16 October 2020 21:39 PM

Mind you they have plenty of cash to bankroll it. BUT you all Hate Rightmove so why all the negativity ??

From: Colin Bain 01 September 2020 18:21 PM

Crime still pays I see

From: Colin Bain 24 August 2020 16:55 PM

You need to pay to enter so it is an award for people that are willing to pay >>>>>>> Agents that may be far better and don't pay are not considered so hardly the best of the best !!

From: Colin Bain 18 August 2020 20:49 PM

Think you need to improve your marketing. Taking a picture of a picture and putting it on Rightmove ?????????

From: Colin Bain 18 August 2020 20:47 PM

Bring on the lawsuit from Easy Property !!!!!!!!!

From: Colin Bain 18 August 2020 20:40 PM

Here is the issue and where Rightmove go against their own rules. They say they only allow Estate Agents to advertise BUT surely if all you are doing is letting sellers get visibility on RightMove you are NOT AN ESTATE AGENT?

From: Colin Bain 30 July 2020 23:34 PM

Tried and failed so many times in UK - don't lose too much before you close it down

From: Colin Bain 24 July 2020 01:31 AM

Good luck with that !!!! Rightmove shareholders won't be happy....A monopoly does not need to listen and won't as soon as this is all over. They have seen 2 crashes and come out it even better

From: Colin Bain 30 May 2020 02:20 AM

So you are unsure you have a job? The heh set up as self employed with nothing? Where do they get these stories from?

From: Colin Bain 20 May 2020 02:26 AM

Too bloody right they were making £180M a year off us - paying it to Shareholders DO NOT PAY THEM

From: Colin Bain 30 April 2020 01:48 AM

I think Rightmove shareolders would have a few things to say about that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From: Colin Bain 29 April 2020 17:19 PM

TOO late the share price although hit recently will now allow this..........

From: Colin Bain 22 April 2020 01:01 AM

Story launched yesterday said it was FREE franchise !!! I pointed out for 22 staff they had less than 60 properties for sale on Rightmove. Are they paying Estate Agent today to post this??

From: Colin Bain 10 April 2020 02:11 AM

Am I missing something? They only seem to have 59 properties on Rightmove??? 15 regional directors and 5 owners and 59 between them all ???

From: Colin Bain 08 April 2020 02:11 AM

All the LPE's will be earning Zero for months as they cannot visit homes to list property. Even then there will be a reluctance to sell _ the beginning of the end ??

From: Colin Bain 31 March 2020 00:59 AM

Yeah but rightmove won't want to annoy their biggest customer

From: Colin Bain 31 March 2020 00:55 AM

IAN (my Pal from a few years ago ) Delete space between / and 1202 estateagenttoday.co.uk/ 1202-house-buying-crowd-fund-site-relaunching-soon

From: Colin Bain 09 March 2020 20:57 PM

In Scotland there are Home Reports this tells you the value of the property BEFORE you market the property. Usual case of OLD FASHIONED Scottish Solicitors not moving forward - bet you still Fax offers into Estate Agents??????????

From: Colin Bain 30 January 2020 00:29 AM

Do you only interview people from MIO ??? You must only be left with the cleaner to bio on this forum?

From: Colin Bain 24 January 2020 16:57 PM

Lets me guess - they will RISE ?

From: Colin Bain 06 January 2020 22:37 PM

Christ is this a story worth writing about? Stories must be thin on the ground...........

From: Colin Bain 19 December 2019 00:17 AM

First one to make a profit, think NOT....

From: Colin Bain 29 October 2019 16:32 PM

Over the years they put lots of agents out of business IMHO. Twice yearly increasing with a take it or leave it attitude is totally abusing their market dominance and should be looked at by MPs. And of course the smaller agents are subsidising larger agencies who DO get a discount as they negotiate 3/5 year deals. Hated dealing with them...used to avoid their sales team like the plague...

From: Colin Bain 22 October 2019 16:47 PM

£25k you must be having a laugh >>

From: Colin Bain 18 September 2019 20:20 PM

Sounds like REMAX all over again !!

From: Colin Bain 04 March 2019 13:01 PM

If you look at all High St agents using the same model the figures are the same. BUT if you deleted all properties from Rightmove and only had live ones it would look like you sell 0% - very flawed argument.

From: Colin Bain 14 November 2018 15:25 PM

From: Colin Bain 19 September 2017 10:31 AM

Its an off the shelf package i believe via Reapit

From: Colin Bain 13 September 2017 11:55 AM

I know someone commented last week about PB paying you guys to promote them and I thought no BUT come on you are the PR Machine for them now !!!

From: Colin Bain 11 July 2017 12:15 PM

Whats on the market ? LOL

From: Colin Bain 06 July 2017 21:42 PM

Sorry had to be the first just to LAUGH OUT LOUD

From: Colin Bain 20 June 2017 01:32 AM

From: Colin Bain 16 June 2017 00:47 AM

With most agents in the US earning themselves 3/5% so say an average of $6-10,000 dollars per sale - why would they come on board with PB to earn $300 a sale?

From: Colin Bain 15 June 2017 09:28 AM

They are not ACTING for the buyer, just charging them a fee to buy a property similar to how an auction works.

From: Colin Bain 23 May 2017 11:43 AM

Agreed, auctions charge the sellers a fee to enter the auction, a sales fee and a buyers premium which is all upfront. It is not as if the buyer was not told about the fee. Typical left wing Green MSP's thoughts !!! He is also being sued at the moment for £750k for defamation and claims to have his name as a campaigner on issues such as owners preventing land reform. He has his own Agenda me thinks??

From: Colin Bain 23 May 2017 11:41 AM

Jealousy is a bad trait !!

From: Colin Bain 04 May 2017 14:48 PM

Tried before and failed - unless they have £10M it will never pay

From: Colin Bain 13 April 2017 13:14 PM

Another On the Market with less funds IMHO

From: Colin Bain 04 April 2017 10:00 AM

From: Colin Bain 02 March 2017 13:26 PM

Wonder where they are scraping the properties from? Is it not illegal to scrape an estate agency properties without their permission? It is our stock that is making their website what it is...

From: Colin Bain 01 March 2017 10:23 AM

She had no online advertising, no idea on what price to pitch (that an online agent would have given her) - a NON STORY

From: Colin Bain 31 January 2017 12:41 PM

You all know that P Bricks get paid on listing yes? They do not get paid after 10 months or on sale as above adverts states. They get paid 14 days after the listings.

From: Colin Bain 06 October 2016 16:16 PM

Glad you have someone worried Robert, they don't like me either !!!

From: Colin Bain 01 September 2016 19:33 PM

Don't forget Scotland's largest agency Scot House Move.com !!!!!

From: Colin Bain 30 August 2016 13:43 PM
