Isold.com sees Tesco begin the roll out, starting in Bristol, having teamed up with Spicerhaart the agents they sold their previous attempt at Estate Agency to.
Makeoffer.co.uk are not impressed with the initial offering which seems to be have three different levels of service starting with essential and rising to premium plus.
In our mind the only way to run a successful business is to offer all your clients the same high level of service this is not selling different types of yoghurt. Instead it is dealing with often the biggest purchase or sale that most individuals ever make and as such requires a professional and fully focused agent. Not one who is prioritising by level of package chosen.
Another observation is that the property portals that have been so well supported and paid for by agents will now see isold properties being advertised as well. Hardly seems right?
We appreciate that the property market changes and how agents deal with innovation,a changing market and the use of technology is well documented as they grasp every opportunity to increase business and improve service but is isold.com a good thing?
