OnTheMarket has announced that north-east agent Pattinson has signed up.
Under the long-term agreement, Pattinson has also agreed actively to promote the OnTheMarket.com brand.
The agent operates a network of 27 branches within the north-east and works in partnership with hundreds of agents across the UK as Pattinson Auctions.
Caroline Pattinson, managing director of Pattinson, said: “We did not join OnTheMarket.com in its early days but have watched closely and we have been impressed by the momentum building.
“We are now delighted to announce that we will be listing our properties on OnTheMarket.
“We are proud to be an independent family-run business and we always aim to do what we believe is in the best interests of our clients, and providing maximum exposure for their properties is essential.
“The fact that the portal is agent-backed also attracts us, as the property market moves best when agents co-operate to help chains progress, etc.
“We have had great success working with other estate agents in auctions, and working with an agent-backed portal makes complete sense to us.”
Ian Springett, CEO of OTM, said: “We are very pleased that Pattinson have joined OnTheMarket.
“As a fiercely independent firm with a strong customer service ethos, Pattinson has achieved an enviable market share and reputation in the north-east.
“The firm will undoubtedly strengthen our position in the area with its property listings and positive support for our proposition.”
It’s like “Bob a Job”. Well done Ian.
Meanwhile at Rightmove…..?

RM won’t change GPL, it’s not in their DNA.
What do you think they will offer you, a discounted contract for 5 years?

Exactly that! They fixed mine for 2 years last time. Small increase since. Foolish to fix it for 5 years now unless you have a right to cancel without charge to be fair. You wanna be able to leave at a moments notice now. #Phase2

Eastside….
If Rightmove don’t change …..they die?
No, Rightmove only die if Estate Agents leave them.
I’m NOT interested in forking out for 3 Portals…. any estate agent who is, is either bonkers or loaded.
The “ Tipping Point “ is NOT how many Estate Agents join OTM, it’s how many LEAVE Rightmove.
Miles Shipside, the Rightmove Management & Shareholders should start to engage with their subscribers, rebuild the chasm of ill-will between them & estate agents, entirely rethink their pricing structure etc…. or do they die? or do they gamble that most agents will join OTM, but never leave Rightmove?
OTM is pointless unless we leave Rightmove, absolutely, utterly pointless! It’s a 3rd Portal!!! Like a Homeowner needs 3 Estate Agents to sell their home??!!!
Don’t tell me everyone joining OTM is the Revolution? EVERYONE LEAVING RIGHTMOVE IS THE REVOLUTION!
The Punch & Judy Show goes on, we, the agents are just The Puppets!
If Miles Shipside & Co wish to continue standing atop their boardroom table p*ss*ng over their subscribers, as THEY HAVE DONE to date, then they are either drunk on their own No 1 Top of the Portal Charts Position, or dreaming, or thinking’ “it’ll never happen, they’ll buy into OTM, however they’ll never leave us?”.
Instead of Ian Springett & Co beating the “another 20 branches drum” …… start beating a much, much bigger drum! DON’T just build a 3rd Portal!!!
I’m sick n’ tired of hearing the 10/20/30 branches, it’s weak, it’s embarrasing, it’s tippy toe steps. At least gather these numbers up and ANNOUNCE ANOTHER 100 BRANCHES & ANOTHER 100 BRANCHES & ……you get the idea!
Now, I’ll get back to my work

If agents want more leads just promote OTM in the window website on valuations etc as you did when FindaProperty was first launched.

Pattinson’s have signed up for free, as I did with my company just yesterday. They are getting more and more agents on board , paying nothing for at least 12 months. This is so they can gain traction in the market place and prove that Rightmove isn’t needed as much as it currently is. OnTheMarket currently has 6500 of 18000 branches signed up and this has shifted in just over eight months. The proof will come if their marketing strategies work following the sale of portion of the business. If any of you have noticed, they now have a larger ad budget than purplebricks! hen the new TV ads and ability to offer free listings for a year. The model is fantastic and I wish them all the best, their pricing will blow Rightmove out of the water and as a long standing agent paying crazy fees each month, I really do back them 100%. As should every other respectable agent in order to help their own business in the long run.

As exclusively revealed here on EYE on TUESDAY, when their listings hit the portal.
The OTM PR machine sadly, badly lacking once again.
Other than that – I’d rather not comment.

Pure, unadulterated agony, smile please – but I will continue to grit my teeth and bear the white-hot pain.

They do know that a huge amount of these agents will leave when the charges come in, don’t they?
