BeTheMiddleman.com, the private property portal we’ve been developing has finally gone live to the public.
The team has tried to capture the essence of the site through the slogan – No Agents No Fees No Fuss. Estate Agents may soon find themselves losing out to cost-efficient online alternatives that put the power of selling and letting back into their own hands.
The Price
BeTheMiddleman.com aims to be the best, to encompass the entire housing ladder and to always be free. The service is built on a Freeium model, where advertisers can start by adding a free property listing and then be offered premium features at a small cost to give their property maximum exposure. A simple Flickr-style premium account will be introduced soon that allows power users unlimited access to the amount of listings they can post. The free account will have no limits apart from the amount of listings they can show at any one time. On top of this each listing can be upgraded with targeted featured spots around the site. These premium features will enable BeTheMiddleman.com to compete with the major players and allow us to reinvest back into the business to fulfill our objectives.
Third party products and services are also been planned for inclusion including insurance, mortgage quotes, legal documents, contracts, HIPS, energy certificates and much more besides.
Help us promote BeTheMiddleman.com
The initial marketing of the soft launched BeTheMiddleman.com is relying on the online community to help us. Once we have road tested the service and the user experience we’ll be in a better position to crank up into a higher gear and market ourselves. Until then we’re asking for your support. We have developed a section dedicated to all kinds of banners and text link for you to put on your website. For those that place a banner on their site we’ll offer them a premium account, giving them unrestricted access.
We’ve soft launched the site to help us gauge the initial reaction, to give us time to sort any outstanding issues and to develop some more killer features.
