Hi Anthea,

The idea came from when I sold my last property. The commission was about £3000 and I struggled to see how the estate agent could justify this. The vast majority of buyers search for properties on the internet via sites like rightmove and globrix so I explored the possibility of running such a business without a high street branch and without expensive newspaper advertising.

The low cost model that we have means that we can charge £249.99 + 0.3% upon completion. House sellers can now receive the service they need to sell their property at a realistic cost.
I'm not the first to do this but I'm confident that we offer a more complete and personalised service.

The site looks good, How did you come with the idea for online estate agency - how does it work exactly?

As you say the market is tough at the moment, therefore all buyers/sellers are definately keeping a closer eye oon there money - are you offering a specific way the the buyers/sellers are saving?

All the best,

Anthea.
