My 'customer research' tells me that; Sell4less have 20 properties for sale in my locale; but none of them are actually listed on sell4less, and were picked up by sell4less from propertyfinder, and they all seem to be for sale by agents who also have their own websites. propertyladder just seems to be a 'link farm' with no properties listed, unless I've mis-typed it. BuyItPrivately has nothing for sale in my county - "Your search returned no results. " they say.... mypropertyforsale - again, I searched for my home county - "0 houses found. Sorry." My approach to research is - what have they got for sale in my home territory? If they haven't got very much, why would a buyer look there in preference to looking where the majority of homes are listed? If I was a buyer, would I look there? If I'm selling, why would I place my property with these sites, when there's no evidence that anyone will go there to look at my property? In comparison, without much effort, I can look at the 'traditional' agents in my area that Chris seems to think don't offer very much, and find that they have almost 1000 properties listed, possibly more. No contest.

Over at another website forum, the proprietor of movingkepsimple.com posted this, in mid-July -
"The High Street Agents demise has been on the cards for years. (snip) We started our Internet only Estate Agent - movingkeptsimple.com just 3 weeks ago and have already had great feedback. Our fees are much lower, we give massive exposure ... (snip) ... too many wanabees have sprung up over the last 5 years. ... (snip) ... So if you want to sell your home with a traditional agent without the traditional fees visit us at www.movingkeptsimple.com, make a move in the right direction." So, they started the site in early July, promised a lot, but on their homepage now; "Taylor-a-home Limited trading as movingkeptsimple.com has ceased trading from August 31st 2008" Hmmm. Whose demise is 'on the cards' now?
