Purple Bricks, I don't even like Deep Purple, but I do like Purple Rain.

This is awesome news!!! It was inevitible!
There's No APP for customer service, competence & character; there's no APP for what I do. The discount brokers are starting to find out you can't automate nor assembly-line process people making the largest purchase or sale of their lives. Everyone's needs are different and not to be cookie-cutter served. If you think working with a REALTOR® with years of experience, including weathering the CRASH is expensive, try working with an amateur that wants to process you vs. serve your needs.
REALTOR®: There's no APP for that!

Purple Bricks failed in Australia and the U. S.
Our business is changing, evolving, and who knows what the future holds.
Other "disruptors" are still on the scene. If they continue to lose money, I forecast more will disappear.

I'm not surprised at all. Out here they had such a hard time selling houses that they had to stop charging the sellers the several thousand dollar fee if the house didn't sell.

Here they started in 2017 $3200 then $3950 then $4900 then $4999 then add all the extras like do you want more than 8 photos? There still remain 4 cheap priced, cough not so nice, discount shops to take those expired(s) that were listed for too high a price. com·mis·er·at·ed not to feel co-misery

I just took a quick look at how many houses they have listed close to our area and there are quite a few. I wonder how they're going to handle dumping all those clients? Did I get this part right - Seller pay the fees up front? If so then there is going to be a lot of not happy campers. Bummer for them.

The misery you get when talking about co-misery
Funnynand embarrassing co-misery commercials. They weren’t really prevalent in our market or I didn’t know if there were.
Adios Purple Bricks
Im not a fan of thepurple color or bricks so no love loss here.

If I read correctly, the main issue was expansion exceeded capability. They moved from itsy-bitsy markets to the USA market and although participation was great, they imploded. Then Brexit bit them and the Germans made their takeover move.
"Co-misery," I sure was evident at the non-physical water cooler.
The disruption they intend to create must come with the US Govt moving agents to an employee status. The fall of the monopoly will allow the deck chairs to be rearranged. Like the ROMAN wedge, NAR has either destroyed the alternatives or assimilated them into the river of money. (Zdevil) IT is interesting that this assmilation was preceeded 12 months by NAR dis-inviting Zdevil from the conventions.
I expect Warren Buffet to be bringing a YELLOW BRICKS alternative where disruption can occur from a well funded insider.

For those who haven't heard of Purple Bricks, you can click below to access some of their commercials. Their commercials played constantly, and always had the phrase below:
"Aaaah, Co-Misery...the misery you feel when you spend thousands on commissions but got nothing more for your money"

The effect of brutal competition giving the business away to gain market share - not a good long term business strategy. It's the beginning to bite and hurt. OpenDoor just laid off staff. And other "iBuyer/Seller' real estate firms are sitting on inventory they can't sell - or selling at a loss.
