In Ch 1 of #Hyperlocal, @lohplaces & I say in the act of #placemaking, groups are projecting preferences about their places, in turn exerting power. The chapter defines place, placemaking & place governance and tees up the book’s key themes. brook.gs/3zgYelW 2/10
In Ch 2 of #Hyperlocal, Alexander Von Hoffman discusses the history of American place governance as an undertaking of both elites & everyday citizens. It chronicles the evolution of these arrangements and their role in shaping communities over time. brook.gs/3zgYelW 3/10

Are property portals necessary in 2022?

The high buyer demand we’re seeing largely obviates the need for a property listing aggregation site.

We’re seeing lots of reports of 20 – 25% of sales taking place off-portals.

Portals fail to present a full picture of the market.
With currently 19 or 29 buyers for every property (which ever report you prefer to quote), people waiting for portal alerts or manual checking the feeds themselves are risking a ‘snooze, you lose’ scenario.

Many properties are snaffled up on the first viewing (FOMO in action).
Low stock levels cause agents a huge problem of a different variety; the return on the investment they receive from advertising on the portals.

Many agencies are spending £2000+ every month alone on @rightmove at a time when they have the lowest number of available properties.

There's plenty that independent agents can disagree on; who gives the best service, who offers the best photography, who achieves the best results, who's got the best shop window, etc, BUT the one thing they all agree on - they hate paying Rightmove's truly exorbitant fees.
