Building success together
We want to support you in achieving success for your business.
Building Success Together is our commitment to you.
A message from Christian Balshen, Director of Agent Partnerships
“I joined Rightmove almost five years ago when a tenant referencing business that I founded was acquired by Rightmove. I found it incredibly satisfying that our small business was able to have a positive impact on both our customers and in our local area. I know that many of you feel the same.
I also know the challenges that running a business brings. You’re at the sharp end of this every day but what’s clear from listening to you is that success is a shared goal. This shared goal underpins how we want to evolve and strengthen our relationship so that, together, we can have a lasting positive impact on our industry and communities.”
Advocating for the industry together
You’ve told us how important it is to have an industry advocate to champion the work you do, and an ongoing dialogue to ensure your needs are fully understood.
We’re therefore introducing a new interactive discussion panel, in collaboration with agents, that you’ll soon be invited to. Together, we’ll uncover what matters to you collectively, and the role you want Rightmove to play as an advocate. To kick-start the discussion, let us know:
