I agree with whoever has signed up with Agents Mutual will drop Rightmove and some will drop Zoopla, as per the stipulation of "you can only be on one other portal". However lets not forget only circa a quarter of estate agents at the moment have signed up with AM, therefore whatever the split in favour of RMV/ZPLA is, its only on a quarter of signed up agents, so revenue loss, if at all wont be as significant as people are thinking! The other point ive noticed is the only people on here slating zoopla are estate agents themselves looking to save money, which is fair enough, however as portals are aimed at the end user, the public looking for property in this case, they dont care how much per month you pay (i appreciate these costs are passed onto the end users) they just want a portal where every property is listed in their area of search, not 30-40%! The public is lazy imo and if all properties arent listed, im not sure they will keep checking back to On The Market, back to RM/ZPLA they will go!
