Hunters launches ‘first of its kind’ qualifications

Zoopla claims 40 branches have returned to it from OTM
Zoopla Property Group has announced that over 40 agent branches have recently returned to it after initially leaving to list with on OnTheMarket, including a raft of multi-branch agencies and several independents. These include Howard Cundey which has 12 branches in Surrey, Sussex and Kent as well as Jeffries with nine branches in Hampshire (including a recent purchase of a single-agent rival). Other smaller but still multi-branch agents include TaylorMilburn with two branches in Essex; Jon Simon with three branches in and around Manchester and Midcalf Nichols, which has two branches in Stourbridge. “Agents now firmly grasp the ZPG value proposition and cannot afford to be at a competitive disadvantage, using services that simply do not deliver value for their business,” says Mark Goddard, Managing Director, ZPG Property Services (pictured, left). “We have the most effective marketing platform, the best software solutions and are now generating new revenue streams for our partners through products such as MoveIT.” Earlier this month the company claimed that in total over 500 agents had returned to it from OnTheMarket. Zoopla currently lists at least 6,446 sales and letting agents on its site while OnTheMarket lists 3,217. These figures do not reflect the number of…
