Hi there,
Just read about you in Estate Agency News, and just a mail to say good luck with the new venture. Totally agree about your coments on Rightmove et al and their outdated biz model.
Have you seen zillow yet? I guess so - doing a similar thing in the US - but FSBO, realtors and private sales all on one site. Could disintermediation be a threat?
regards
