Agents' Mutual was founded by some of the leading estate and lettings agents in the UK to create the property website OnTheMarket.com which launched in January 2015. Its purpose is to provide a first class property search service to local estate and letting agents, their clients and the property-seeking public and it is not driven by shareholder value motives. Every estate or letting agent firm wh
ich lists properties with it becomes a member of the company and has an equal interest in it. One firm = one member = one vote, irrespective of the number of offices a firm has. The founder member firms were Savills, Knight Frank, Strutt & Parker, Chestertons, Douglas & Gordon and Glentree Estates. The level of overall support for OnTheMarket.com is now in excess of 6,000 estate and letting agent offices. The figure - which consists of contracted members and agents who have signed a Letter of Intent to join OnTheMarket.com when total support reaches 7,500 offices - was achieved less than 10 months after the launch of the portal in January 2015. The tried and tested use by OnTheMarket.com of non-binding Letters of Intent has been its primary method of building membership. Previous versions in 2013 and 2014 were very strong drivers of substantial growth in membership numbers. As with earlier phases, the accumulation of Letters of Intent runs alongside recruitment direct to contract. If you have any questions about joining, please get in touch and we'll be delighted to put you in touch with a sales representative.
