Hi Terrence, you are very anti online/hybrid estate agent on every article I read here. Broaden your horizon and embrace technology. "How is it good for the client to pay regardless of whether their property sells?" The agent needs to be paid for their time regardless. With the no sale no fee model, the person whose house sells has to cover the cost of the agents time and resources spent on the house that he did not sell. And we all know some houses will not sell, though no fault of the agent on many occasions. Seriously, we live in a customer first world now. Online is just another choice - the customer deserves to have a choice - whether they want to shop in Primark or Harrods - Foxtons or Yopa. No need to go round bashing one another.

I was referring to two properties on the same street, where the only difference is an extra bedroom. I am a firm believer all house hunters (exception very high end property buyers) search online for property throughout the buying cycle. Even the "different people" will look online. Instead of online and high st abusing each other - they should just let the customers do the talking and everyone focus on their own business and customers.

Thanks Chris. "the level and amount of service and skill required to bring both to a successful and profitable conclusion may be immensely different due to individual customer and property circumstances and requirements. " The 3 and 4 bed are pretty much the same house accept the extra bedroom and price tag. Not sure why there should be a different "level of service/skill etc..." required or most importantly a different fee for each. Are you saying the guy with the cheaper house will not get the same level? On the note of higher valued property. A successful businessman who has experienced negotiations in his own business world would more likely (imo) negotiate a better deal than most estate agents for their property. At the end of the day the estate agent does not have the final say. Most agents are good guys, they are sales people at the end of the day - not a high skilled job therefore the internet is right to break down the barriers and give the customer the tools to get the price (which include the guidance of an agent if required).

Carl, how many times have you read in the paper about a high street agent achieving 20/30/40% etc above asking price (the price they originally advised on). I am not an estate agent but understand how the internet has now given customers more control in everything they do, so why should estate agents be any different? Why should they person selling the 4 bed house pay more in fees than his neighbor selling a 3 bedroom house? They will both receive the same level of service and use the same marketing channels.
