Zoopla has attracted Sussex-based estate agency Mishon Mackay back to its portal following a five-year absence.

Mishon Mackay is the latest in a series of agents to return to the property website, thanks in part to the free portal usage plan offered by Zoopla.

Steve Neocleous, business development director at Mishon Mackay, said: “We are delighted to be working with Zoopla again to extend the reach that we can offer to our sellers across Brighton, Hove and Mid Sussex. This means that we offer our clients the widest possible exposure to the market and it complements our already very proactive approach to selling property. We think that the link up with Zoopla is a good fit for us here at Mishon Mackay.”

Zoopla last week announced that it has 3% more agents listing properties on its platform compared with a year ago, while the volume of sales and rental listings on the portal has increased 21% during the same period.

Reflecting Mishon Mackay’s return to the portal, Zoopla’s chief commercial officer Andy Marshall commented: “The team at Mishon Mackay are known throughout Sussex for their customer-centric approach and with sales, lettings and new homes in their portfolio, the agency offers a true full service experience to homeowners.

“After five years away from Zoopla they’ve now returned, recognising our efforts to drive more leads and offer even better value to our agent partners. My colleagues and I look forward to helping them grow their business in what is a busy time for agents and homemovers.”
