The award-winning Wallers Estate Agents is listed as permanently closed on Google and is in the process of being liquidated, Companies House accounts reveal.
Predominantly based in Rose Hill, Oxford, the company also had a branch in Swindon and was a member of the Property Ombudsman.
Set up by Rowan Waller in 2014, the business pitched itself on its website as “the antidote to what people always see as your typical estate agency”.
Accounts submitted to Companies House reveal Nicholas Cusack and Paul Bailey, of Brighton-based BABR, have been instructed to dissolve the company.

Statement of affairs submitted to Companies House on September 8 reveal Wallers Estate Agents Ltd has debts of £59,826 owed to creditors.
Most of this is to the bank: NatWest is owed £31,567 for a Bounce Back loan, £1,000 for a business card along with a further £19,996.
HMRC is also owed £59.94 in PAYE and CF&L, a leasing specialist in Southend, Essex, is owed £7,202.
What’s more, the Property Ombudsman – which Wallers was a member of – confirmed the registration ceased last month.
The Property Ombudsman is an independent and impartial dispute resolution service for consumers and property businesses.
Wallers’ website, which has now been shut down, said staff who worked there tried to keep things “simple and straightforward”.
The business was formerly called Isis Estate Agents until late 2014, after a name change was prompted by the name being harmed by the jihadist group.
Mr Waller said at the time: “I decided for the sake of my own sleep patterns I couldn’t risk waiting to see if it all blows over.
“I realised a couple of weeks ago that I could just see the news was likely to get worse and worse once the Scottish vote was out of the way.
“Like it or not Isis is going to be a name on people’s minds and lips for the wrong reason, and I think our sentimental name for the river will be a victim of that.”
Wallers was also well involved with the local sport community, even sponsoring Oxford City Football Club.
It isn’t known why the business has been closed down, but Wallers was approached for further details.
But in recent years the housing market has struggled, with insufficient supply, rising prices and cost of living pressures all contributing to a slower market.
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors said in a report this week that it expects sales to remain largely stagnant over the next three months.
