Too many sites.

[Little Ricky]

If a person wants to sell their house/flat (home dur) no matter what estate agent they go with, those agents always use Rightmove. End of story. But a boat which is often expensive, well how many flippin sites are there....

Or On the market, Zoopla

Or On the market, Zoopla

As a former estate agent, these sites attract less than 5% of total traffic. And those properties already on Zoopla are almost always on Rightmove, but never the other way round.

I think I bought my Volvo estate off you.

Rightmove doesn't sell houses, all it does is introduce buyers. It's up to the agent to then convert the prospect to a purchaser.

In the same way, a CV/resume doesn't get you a job, it gets you an interview and you take it from there, it's up to the candidate to sell themselves.

Same as boats, a decent broker will be known in the industry and have a database of prospects. How they generate their prospects may or may not be one of the portals.

Quite often, and I'm sure it will be the same with boats, the prospect ends up buying a different house or car than the one they saw advertised.

My last two houses sold for 35% more than 2-3 other agents had suggested because I chose agents based on the market they were operating in.

Butler Sherbourn for a Cotswold house and Savills for a home counties property. Both agents did an outstanding job from start to finish.

Back to boats, there are a whole range of choices, Gumtree, Ebay, Facebook, Apollo Duck to Ancasta and other brand associated brokers.

As they say, you pays your money and makes your choice.
