Purplebricks rival EweMove is preparing for battle, and the first thing they wish to do is hire some new, local property agents.
In EweMove’s case, they are to be called Local Property Partners. As with Purplebricks, they will be self-employed.
EweMove’s intention is to scale up its UK network rapidly, with a recruitment drive of local agents who will work for themselves rather than any of the existing franchisees.
EweMove is specifying that it wants agents who have a minimum of three years’ experience as a valuer to join the ‘flock’ as self-employed individuals.
There is no upfront cost to becoming an LPP, and their initial agreement with the company lasts for three years.
They will be paid £250 on listing plus 20% commission upon completion. Customers won’t be charged until their property has been sold.
EweMove say the advantage for an LPP is that they can build their own territories of approximately 20,000 households without the financial outlay of buying into the organization’s franchise structure.
They will get access to the company’s full suite of marketing and administrative support including direct mail letters, templates, brochures, social media campaigns, pay-per-click marketing, branding and livery, and a personalized website.
