OnTheMarket has flexed it muscles once again with the announcement of an exclusive partnership with agent training provider The Able Agent.
The partnership was announced less than a week after the portal debuted a new rent recovery offer; two weeks after it added a suite of UK-first accessibility filters on its property search; and almost a month to the day since the launch of OnTheMarket Software.
It's good news all round for CEO Jason Tebb after OnTheMarket reported increased revenues and strong renewal numbers in its interim results, also in October.
As part of its new agreement, OnTheMarket agents will be able to take up to four training courses in the next 12 months through The Able Agent, who will deliver each course for free. Each of the courses is aimed at agents at different stages of their careers.
Julie Emmerson, Head of Agent Commercial Partnerships at OnTheMarket, said:
"We’re always looking for ways to add value to our agents’ memberships and our latest partnership with The Able Agent allows us to do just that. Through the upcoming courses, our agents will be able to upskill and sharpen multiple areas of their businesses as the market continues to change.
"Typically, as we move to year-end, many agents find themselves reviewing different parts of their businesses and reflecting on which areas might need strengthening. With the first course beginning on 1 November, the programme is starting at a great time for our agents to be able to improve the key basic skills of their newest branch staff and prepare for what is usually a busy period in the New Year."
The Able Agent was founded in 2019 and is run by nationally-recognised trainer Charlotte Jeffrey-Campbell. She said:
"This is a strong move by OnTheMarket, and demonstrates a real commitment to their agency network. Now more than ever, agents need to do all they can to really stand out and differentiate themselves, and this training will help so many to do just that."
