Friends, Feudal Landlords, Commoners,
The story of Zoopla’s rise is one that fascinates me. Very few people attribute the success to the M&A…
On the day Easyproperty launched its online service to sell your home for cheap, CEO Robert Ellice marched through the West End celebrating/mock-mourning the death of high street estate agents.
For me, there was no small irony in a start-up business mocking their incumbent…
Last August I wrote asking whether 2014 was the year that online letting agents would outgrow their high street counterparts.
And there it is, the deafening chorus of traditional estate agents screaming “Yes!”.
For years high street agents have been crying foul that Rightmove allows For-Sale-By-Owner sites to sneak listings next to theirs.
Another month, another online-only lettings agent that misunderstand what makes money in rental real estate.
