    It's news which is relevant to this sub-forum.

    Often the question is asked; "Should I use an online agent". I think the departure of the FOUNDING chief exec, drastic cutback in expansion, etc. of this high-profile, advertised everywhere agent is relevant to those who ask this type of question.

    Regardless of whether you knew about it from your personal news feed or not.

    By all means claim the last word.

    Says more about weakening global property markets than whether the online service is any good IMO. In general news that points to anything property related "weakening" isn`t usually welcomed on here I find.
