For our resource this week, thank you to David Sables in The Property Hub, who pointed us towards The Secret Weapon – a free series of videos that shows how to make best use of Evernote to make yourself more organised and productive by making use of David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” methodology.

So free videos about a free tool that can save you a boatload of time…surely well worth checking out!

And in the news,Estate agents have teamed up to launch a competitor to Rightmove and Zoopla. The idea is that the agents who take part become part-owners of the business – but they have to choose to advertise only on Rightmove or Zoopla if they want to take part.

It’s supposed to break up the duopoly of the big two, but will vendors be upset that their marketing is being compromised as the grudge between agents and portals intensifies? Watch this space!
