Who are Emoov

Emoov where an online estate agents who helped you sell your property, and also list properties on their own website for sale.

"A dedicated property expert at every step of your sale, professional photos, detailed floorplans, viewing management, offer negotiation, sales progression and much more."

Emoov claimed to have no hidden fees and fair pricing when it comes to selling your home. They will assign a personal dedicated agent to help with your sale, they will also be there every step of the way in you house selling journey or so they claim.

With their sale they claim to offer cashback and rewards when you sell through them, however this is all now obsolete as they're now known as Mashroom.

Mashroom has a completely different vibe from Emoov. Emoov estate agents were as the name implies a "house selling company" however, Mashroom is a property management company that help landlords with mortgages, rent collection and more.

Mashroom has since rebranded to Landlord Planet, and Emoov the website has been purchased by another company.

The CEO of Emoov was Russel Quirk, who was the Founder and CEO.

Emoov entered into administration in late 2018, and you can find a full breakdown of exactly what happened to the company on Property Industry Eye.

The new CEO of the Emoov website under Griffin Residential Limited is Nicholas Patrick Neale.

How Does Emoov work?

According to Emoov, they offered an "honest support" when helping you through their sal,e although this honest support does not conduct viewings for you or offer an in-person valuation as they will only do it over the phone.

Pros and cons of Emoov

Emoov vs other online estate agents

One key factor which differentiates Emoov from other online estate agents is they offer a service where, if your home qualifies, they will give you a cash offer for your property for them to buy it off you themselves. Other online estate agents don’t offer this and instead just market your property for you.

Emoov offers a ‘split payment’ option where you pay an upfront fee and then 0.5% of the sale price once your property sale completes. This is different from other online estate agents, with some offering a no sale no fee service or full fixed payment upfront.

Emoov doesn’t offer an in-person valuation service, which a lot of other online estate agents do, meaning Emoov’s valuation may be less accurate. Emoov also doesn’t offer the option to pay for them to handle your viewings, something that a lot of online estate agents offer.

Emoov vs high street estate agents

Unlike high street estate agents, emoov’s most basic package doesn’t include an advert on Rightmove or Zoopla and only offer advertising on the Emoov website. Also, Emoov will not handle viewings for you, regardless of the package you choose, which is something high street estate agents will handle for you in any circumstance.

In fact, emoov offer no in-person contact at all throughout the process, meaning your valuation will be done remotely. This greatly differs from high street estate agents, who will have constant in-person contact and will be more ‘hands on’.

Also, a high street estate agent will offer some negotiation on their fees compared to Emoov who’s fees are fixed.

One thing Emoov can offer you, which a high street estate agent can’t, is the chance to get a cash offer from them for Emoov to buy your property themselves. This is a service a high street estate agent won’t offer, as they simply market the property for you.

Is Emoov still trading?

No, the original Emoov has stopped trading and now go by something different. Emoov are now known as Mashroom, later rebranding to Landlord Planet, a completely different business model.

There is a new company trading under the Emoov brand that took control of the website around a year ago.
