Murray's Recent Activity

Can we say the little man (literally) got noticed?

From: Murray Lee 23 June 2020 08:33 AM

It might not be me old mukka, but do we need to air these opinions for the public who are already as nervous as hell? Again, we are finding plenty activity and only a small correction (less than 1-2% if any at all Hardly a noticeable difference. As mentioned below and again maybe "area specific" we are much shorter of almost any stock with plenty of buyers and enquiries. I agree with your always considered judgement as you know, but I hope you agree with mine here. Lets not scaremonger? Lets be POSITIVE

From: Murray Lee 22 June 2020 15:19 PM

Have to 100% agree. Was useful tool prior to lockdown and of course during and just after but nothing like the real thing. Only yesterday was trying to offer a video tour instead and buyers said " nice idea but still want to see the house" We are going at 1pm today. Plus my supplier is running over a week behind...

From: Murray Lee 19 June 2020 07:55 AM

Well put together piece Nat.....Although there were some 20 more that contacted me. Happy to provide names if required. Im trialling 1 or 2 others. Lets se how that goes

From: Murray Lee 06 June 2020 15:37 PM

Great work Rob keeping the message out there!

From: Murray Lee 29 May 2020 07:59 AM

First Ive heard of it!!! Perhaps Mr Lock would like to reach out to me? Intrigued at the success claimed as sadly Charlie Wrights CELIA never reached this success down to apathy at the time Maybe this is the right time?

From: Murray Lee 22 May 2020 08:17 AM

Thanks to Trevor and Chris for putting this together. !

From: Murray Lee 20 May 2020 06:55 AM

No words needed Chris says it all......

From: Murray Lee 18 May 2020 08:05 AM

RIGHTMOVE of the hook? I dont think so! Homesearch were 1 of 25 or more NEW portal that contacted me since this all kicked off including, OpenBrx, WiggyWam, Rummage4, Property Mutual, TWPN and Resi People to name just a few. They are all READY and open for business and Im am linked to most of these too None have the ridiculous high tariffs than RM demand and seem to have much more customer service in mind than RM now have. Althiugh I support Homeearch and am behind their efforts to bring a better portal experience to the market I do not think for 1 moment they are the only "new" option or the only chalanger to RM who will be shortsighted if they dont listen to a huge part of their client base then their days could be over If you want a full list feel free to contatc me! Im not hard to find

From: Murray Lee 15 May 2020 08:24 AM

No surprise there More and more are saying the same... Strike 5? No wonder we are all furious? #togetherwearestronger #agentsunite Say no to Rightmove Rightmove, the gift that just keeps on giving...🤣😉

From: Murray Lee 11 May 2020 08:14 AM

And please tell me, were you happy with the 75% discount we(the crusaders) obtained.? Or did you turn it down..... And I assume your happy with there belligerent "take it or leave it" attitude? Come on Graham ...really...?

From: Murray Lee 06 May 2020 19:04 PM

OF course they were all passed. Im guessing Most were listed well before the Lockdown and with only 2 in the room and no on line op hardly a no brainer was it? If you want things to go the way you want...don ask anyone else to come to the party

From: Murray Lee 05 May 2020 08:37 AM

Sinister moves by Rightmove ? Now theres a "surprise" LOL

From: Murray Lee 04 May 2020 08:07 AM

Sorry Andrew, not sure I agree, The plan is to stand up to RM and Z Iwhere I belive we have a reasonable deal agreed) and get RM to adjust their core price strategy. We have established the backing of a huge number of discontented, mainly independent, agents who are fed up with the aggressive "take it or leave it" attitude of RM. WELL if they dont get their house in order we will "leave it" as many have already. More will follow. I dont see Rob pushing OTM and he agrees with the view of David Thomas that we should have an MLS system. At the moment my company's personal view is that at £400-500pm RM offers fair value Z's rates have been acceptable and they have not increased untl last year or so lus they guarnateed ONLY an RPI increase in 2021. RM need to be concentrating on re-packaging their products and pricing, not bombarding us with webinars and new Overseas "test" pages etc. Look after your client and your client with respect you for it. (Speak later?) LOL

From: Murray Lee 24 April 2020 08:21 AM

100% agree anf 1 of my sales is to an EXTREMELY key worker (no names) who HASC to move, the lawyers are progressing from home, the sale is cash, the flat will be empty . No issues in my eyes

From: Murray Lee 23 April 2020 08:52 AM

Absolutely behind this suggestion We are still getting many new enquires and lots want to see properties! We need to get back to some safe way of working in the property world I

From: Murray Lee 22 April 2020 08:08 AM

Totally agree with Rob. IF they do survive the share fall then a fair price for the subs will appease many of the agents including me It may be to late for those that have left already Time will tell

From: Murray Lee 22 April 2020 08:04 AM

From: Murray Lee 08 April 2020 08:17 AM

I might have considered the same but had no response to my emails asking for confirmation of what my subs will be post current contract expires this month

From: Murray Lee 08 April 2020 08:16 AM

Par for the course...if we could get out there to even play!

From: Murray Lee 03 April 2020 09:44 AM

Its THEIR VIEW...my view is different! We are locked and only dealing with emergencies and move ins already agreed and for this week We hold keys to all our management portfolio for access etc What should we do? PLUS they still want our FULL business rates #gofigure

From: Murray Lee 24 March 2020 12:47 PM

agree same here, we also hold management keys for emergencies Can we be in the office but not "open" Also if we are closed why dont we get the business rates relief?

From: Murray Lee 24 March 2020 08:06 AM

They have seen the light!

From: Murray Lee 06 March 2020 08:35 AM

We may be "way behind" but we are MILES in front on customer and personal services and viewings etc. You should hear one of my clients (whos flat we have now under offer) Felt she had thrown away £1400 and only had 2 viewings and no feedback etc Yesterday they suggested she dropped the price to £370,000 from £395,000 WE HAVE AGREED THE SALE AT £385,000 I think PB are way behind in the REAL estate agency world Sadly the consumers dont find this out till its too late

From: Murray Lee 13 February 2020 08:06 AM

Just had my latest advice of increase £160 PM 13% jump plus VAT No added value.....No words

From: Murray Lee 12 February 2020 08:25 AM

ANYONE HAD THE LATEST FEE INCREASE LETTER FROM RMs? Ours going from £1230 to £1390 (plus vat) 13% increase MADNESS And tweeting them direct has no effect

From: Murray Lee 07 February 2020 09:13 AM

Cant say Im surprised. Its such a big operation and expensive to run. They have a big office here in NW11 but have never really made an impact. You can see they have cut staff in this branch. Lots of empty desks. And in our area trying to charge 3% fees wont work. Sign of the times.

From: Murray Lee 11 December 2019 08:07 AM

Smoke and Mirrors. No real direct response just a typical "corporate one" At least OTM seem to lean in our favour. RM & Z never will. RM's comment about the extra "tools" they provide is spin. Be honest guys, how many of us use these to truly provide a valuation. We know our local prices better than any statistics can show. Less tools needed...lower the fee We are mostly interested in the advertising side and results the portal provide as most of us have limited options to any other valuable media

From: Murray Lee 09 December 2019 08:44 AM

Hi Kristjan. U ok? WOW those numbers are high although I assume your RM package is the top one? (FYI a local competitor told me he is ONLY paying £1800 plus all in???) We find the same with RM pay it or leave us. Take care M

From: Murray Lee 15 November 2019 12:10 PM

This is what I dont get All your numbers are lower than ours No disrespect to you Debbie but why should they be cheaper in South Wales than North West London? We all upload in the same way and the portals upload for us all in the say way. Why the cost differential ??

From: Murray Lee 15 November 2019 11:09 AM

100% agree again. There is no division with us and the large firms and in answer to Property Pundit we have little other option but to use them all. Over a barrel is correct. If we dont use the portals the Vendors/Landlords wont use us as others do. And where else can we advertise? Newspapers dont work anymore so what else is there?

From: Murray Lee 15 November 2019 09:37 AM

No you are 100% correct. And where is the justification?

From: Murray Lee 15 November 2019 09:23 AM

What a good idea. I have always felt we are "shortchanged" being a small 1 office independent based in London. Rightmove:- Basic Pack £1230 plus VAT (increases year on year regardless!) Zoopla:- Basic £572 plus VAT (1st increase for sometime last year) On the Market :- £199 plus VAT (Was free for past year Just Agreed a 6 month trial at this rate- or would have left) As you can see RM are over double and its hard to justify why. They have no interest in listening to our complaints on annual price hikes. Eventually they will price us out of the market. I guess being so huge they wont care about 1 or 2 small fry leaving. Sad state of the business

From: Murray Lee 15 November 2019 08:15 AM

Agreed, we small independents with a long track record of providing good customer service easily get forgotten. "Not all agents are the same" Purplebricks need reigning in for mis-leading the public. I hope CIELA will be the force to do it. NFOPP/NAEA/ARLA/PROPERTYMARK are disappointing silent
