Here is a request to agents who have not yet filled in the survey tracking the competitive landscape between online and high street agents: please could you do so today.

It will take up very little of your time (there are only 15 questions) but your answers will provide an important measure of how the estate agency market is evolving.

The survey is a follow-up to one done 20 months ago by then Masters student Mark Notari as part of his degree. He became so interested in the subject that he has decided to keep tabs on the industry.

The new survey specifically looks at changing high street attitudes towards online firms.

Almost two years ago, three-quarters of agents wanted to remain focused on their traditional business; almost 20% wanted to “play both games at once”; and the remaining 9% preferred to ignore the competition.

The survey will close today at 5pm. Your help is very much appreciated.
