Second Hand Car Dealers and Estate Agents – To be Judged as Equal?

February 23, 2018

OK, so a catchy and slightly anger-producing headline, but hey this type of marketing has been selling newspapers for decades! Who can ever forget ‘Freddie Star ate my Hamster‘ from The Sun back in 1986?

Anyway, back to the subject of this breaking news, and we are looking at yet another estate agency review website that already successfully enables online reviews of used car dealers across the country who now wish to apply their expertise of grabbing reviews and capturing data to branch out in to the world of property.

“The deciding factor about who to use” is what they are leading with on a page that was highlighted to us on the JudgeService website:

So the question is ‘do we really need another estate agency review website’? Is there already too much choice for consumers that it becomes confusing or have JudgeService another card up their sleeve or maybe they are just after the data collection so to offer Estate / Lettings Agencies marketing packages / lead generation services?
