Okey, I have a rental house in Cumbria which I want to flog off. Found an agent where I'm happy to sell it.

However I've just found out they don't have a contract with Zoopa.com They only have a contract with Rightmove.com

So if I go with this agent, then it will only be advertised on Rightmove plus one other site I've never heard of. The agent is a big agent and I've got a blah blah blah from them about how they used to use Zoopa but they never got any enquiries from Zoopla, all came from Rightmove blah blah, Rightmove is bigger in Cumbria.

Is it a bad idea to use this agent who does not advertise on Zoopa?

In this area there are about 400 for sale listings on Rightmove, 350 on Zoopa (so Rightmove is bigger) and about 70 in the no-name site which I have forgotten the name of already even though I only looked at 5 mins ago.

Yes, onthemarket is the other one.

So option A is no Zoopla.

Option B is to get one of the other agents who are also using Zoopla.
