Purplebricks is continuing its roll-out in America.

On Monday, it launched in San Diego County, Fresno and Sacramento.

It launched in the US in Los Angeles and Orange counties last September.

It charges sellers a flat fee of $3,200 and the San Diego Union Tribune says that Purplebricks is one of a growing number of companies that are lowering fees in the “competitive Southern California housing market”.

This week Purplebricks announced a new UK CEO, Lee Wainwright.

The appointment means that the UK, Australia and America now each has its own CEO. Group CEO remains Michael Bruce.
