I started my own online agency without a single customer so it was fairly daunting. I quickly built up clients through networking and recommendations.

What do you recommend that a seller or landlord should do prior to calling in an estate agent for a valuation? Check the online reviews and speak to people who have used the agency to get a feel for the service they can expect. For letting they need to ask themselves how emotionally attached they are to the property on a scale of 1-10.

What makes you di erent from your competitors:

How did you get into real estate? Do you remember your rst day?

What do you think of the estate agency phrase ‘People Not Property’? This is absolutely a people business. Listening to and understanding an individual's needs is essential to progressing in your career.

People skills & patience along with a sense of humour.
