Hybrid estate agent Knock Knock launches to compete online

KnockKnock

Knock Knock currently employs three active estate agents and is training up 25 agents. The company preparing to launch an app in three to four months that promises to be a one-stop property shop for those looking to buy or sell their home.

Customers will be able to use a Knock Knock dashboard that shows them everything about their property sale or purchase, including relevant market data.

The firm is looking to give “white glove red-carpet treatment” to customers with homes valued at £350,000 to £1m, said Knock Knock strategic advisor, Steph Walker, adding there isn’t a hybrid agent geared to this market.

Knock Knock wants to “offer a fee that’s incentivising the agent to go out and get the best price,” she said, noting that customers will be charged an extra £2,000 on top of the £3,000 completion fee if an agent sells their home at its valuation price.

“In a pay anyway scenario, there’s not as much incentive to sell it at that price,” she said. The agent offers professional photography of homes as well as digital floor plans.
