COMMENT OF THE WEEK
“We left Rightmove in June and as much as hate to say it, we are going back on. Every valuation has the same outcome as soon as you say we are not on Rightmove, the only comment we get is ‘Sorry I can’t go with an agent who isn’t on Rightmove’. Vendors are programmed with Rightmove, it’s like trying to convince someone that you don’t need a knife and fork to eat your dinner, there are chop sticks or spoons, its never going to change and it’s obvious that leaving just doesn’t work.”
