Seconds away! War of words as eMoov gets in almost all of its £2.6m crowdfunding
Thursday, November 12, 2015
Almost all of the £2.6m money pledged on eMoov’s crowdfunding campaign has been paid.
The news may confound critics of the online agent and its founder Russell Quirk – but is unlikely to silence them.
During the 14-day cooling off period, which has now closed, only £1,650 of the money failed to materialise – a low drop-out rate of just 0.06%, thought to be a record, and which compares with the normal evaporation rate on Crowdcube of about 10%.
The news has now sparked a challenge from Quirk to EYE reader PeeBee.
Yesterday, PeeBee posted: “I have been reliably informed that there is a 14-day cooling off period.
“Anyone care to guess, that being the case, how much the actual grand total ‘invested’ come the end of the month amounts to… ?
“I’ll start the sweepstake with ‘less than a million’.”
Throwing down the gauntlet, Quirk said that PeeBee was “woefully” wrong in his prediction.
He added: “PeeBee should be prepared to back his bets. And so I suggest that he now agree to pay to a charity of my choice the sum of £100 for every £100,000 that he was wrong.”
Quirk said that the sum should be £1,600.
However, PeeBee said: “Mr Quirk is mistaken. I made a guess, not a bet. I got it wrong, but so has he.
“So I’m afraid his charity, the Russell Quirk Home for Destitute Estate Agents, will just have to wait.”
We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

The process of ordering boards for my company New Door Real Estate was so easy from the get go with Kremer Signs! I was kept informed every step of the way by Nick and Ryan and I really couldn't fault them. Great customer service and the quality of the boards is brilliant. We're really happy with them!

Delivered in great time
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
