8 things we’ve learnt from The Property Hub

The Property Hub is six months old! To celebrate having brought 1,000 members into the fold so far, we thought we’d share some things that the experience has taught us so far.

The idea isn’t to bang on about why The Property Hub is great for half an hour – although we kind of did do that – but to pull out some lessons about effective property networking that we’ve learnt in the process.

We go into a lot of detail in the episode itself, so make sure you give it a listen!

When you’re interacting in an online community, you’ll normally have a photo next to your name. And like it or not, people will form judgements about you based on that photo.

So this week’s resource comes from Photofeeler. It’s a site where other people can anonymously rate your profile photo along three dimensions. Likeability, influence and competency. Find out for sure whether the photo you’re using is putting out the message you want it to – and if not, switch it up!

In the news this week, The Guardian reports that property portal Zoopla went public this week, with the markets valuing it at £919 million.

Along with its bigger rival Rightmove, the portals provide a great experience for the end user. However, their ever-increasing fees are unpopular with agents, who feel like they have them over a barrel. Will the forthcoming effort by the agents to shake things up break up this duopoly, or are they here to stay?
