Why AI Will Decide Which Estate Agents Get the Next Valuation

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:01:29

For years we've obsessed over using AI to save time.

But what if that's the wrong question?

In this episode I'm joined by Jaimie Beers, founder of Schutle.com and a former London estate agency owner who successfully built, scaled and sold his own business before moving into .

Jaimie believes the biggest impact AI will have on estate agency isn't writing property descriptions or automating admin. It's changing how sellers and landlords choose an agent in the first place.

We discuss:

Why Google search is already starting to lose its grip.
How AI is changing consumer behaviour.
Why websites are becoming more important, not less.
The difference between SEO and becoming visible to AI.
Why most estate agents are solving the wrong AI problem.
Building a business through the credit crunch, selling at the right time and knowing when to move on.

We also dive into business ownership, the realities of building a successful agency, why office location still matters, and the lessons Jaimie learned from fifteen years growing his own company before selling it.

If you think AI is simply about becoming more efficient, this conversation may completely change the way you think about the future of estate agency.

The Biggest Lie About Becoming a Self-Employed Estate Agent

mercredi 22 juillet 2026 • Durée 40:23

Thinking about becoming self-employed? Or already made the leap?

Then this is an episode you shouldn't miss.

Chris Buckler, Chief Commercial Officer at TAUK and founder of The Estate Agency, shares the lessons he's learned from more than a decade building self-employed estate agency businesses. From his early days as a management consultant at Deloitte, to renovating properties, building successful agencies and helping hundreds of agents become business owners, Chris offers an honest look at what really makes the difference.

We discuss why lead generation should always come before everything else, why values matter more than most people realise, what Chris learned from Keller Williams, and why so many agents fail—not because they lack ability, but because they stop doing the activities that built the business in the first place.

We also dive into the future of brokerage models, acquisitions within the self-employed sector, supporting agents through cashflow challenges, and why building a profitable business is far more important than simply chasing turnover.

Whether you're employed, self-employed or running your own agency, this conversation is packed with practical ideas and plenty of thought-provoking moments.

In this episode you'll discover:

Why lead generation is every agent's number one job.
The biggest mistake self-employed agents make after a few months.
Lessons from Keller Williams and Gary Keller.
Why company values—and personal values—shape successful businesses.
The future of self-employed estate agency in the UK.
Why profitable businesses beat impressive turnover every time.
What separates successful brokerages from those unlikely to survive.

I Sold My Estate Agency… Then Realised Retirement Wasn't for Me

jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 39:57

What happens after you've achieved what most estate agents dream of?

Dan built a successful multi-branch estate agency, sold the business to Foxtons, took some time out... and then discovered that retirement wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

In this honest conversation, Dan shares the lessons from building and selling his business, why growing bigger doesn't always mean growing more profitable, and why he's chosen to start again in today's self-employed estate agency world.

We also discuss acquisitions, lettings, building recurring income, preparing for self-employment, and why so many agents underestimate what it really takes to build a successful business.

Whether you're thinking about starting your own agency, growing one, or wondering what life looks like after an exit, this episode is packed with practical lessons from someone who's experienced every stage of the journey.

In this episode we discuss:

Building a five-branch estate agency from scratch
The realities of selling to Foxtons
Why bigger isn't always more profitable
The mistakes business owners make as they grow
Why lettings create long-term business value
Starting again in the self-employed model
The importance of collaboration and continuous learning
Why building the business is often more rewarding than the exit itself

We Built a Multi-Branch Estate Agency Without a Business Plan

jeudi 9 juillet 2026 • Durée 49:02

Most successful estate agency stories get rewritten after the event.

Not this one.

In this episode, Andrew and Kenny Goad from The Stow Brothers share the real story behind building one of East London's best-known estate agencies. They openly admit they started without a business plan, expanded faster than they could comfortably afford, and made plenty of mistakes along the way.

We talk about why being a great estate agent isn't enough to build a great business, how marketing became their biggest competitive advantage, why culture and values matter more than flashy branding, and the lessons they've learned from opening multiple branches, acquiring businesses and leading a growing team.

If you're an estate agent, broker or business owner who wants an honest conversation about growth, leadership and what really happens behind the scenes, you'll get plenty from this one.

In this episode we discuss:

Why they launched without a business plan
The difference between being a great estate agent and a great business owner
Opening new branches and the risks nobody talks about
Marketing as the modern estate agent's biggest advantage
Raising fees by raising standards
Hiring mistakes, leadership lessons and building the right culture
Why growth alone doesn't guarantee profit
Their ambitious plans to double the business over the next five years

Luxury Estate Agency Isn't About Expensive Houses

jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 41:55

Most people think luxury estate agency is about selling expensive homes.

Melanie Attwater believes it's about something completely different.

As founder of eXp Luxury UK, Melanie has built her reputation by delivering a premium experience from the very first conversation through to completion. Better marketing. Better communication. Better negotiation. The result? Clients who are happy to pay premium fees because they genuinely see the value.

In this episode we discuss why so many estate agents still compete on price, why property marketing has become far too beige, how video and storytelling can completely transform a listing, and why AI should be used to create better customer experiences rather than simply making agents more efficient.

We also explore the growth of the self-employed brokerage model, the launch of eXp Luxury UK, and why the future of estate agency belongs to those who are prepared to stand out rather than blend in.

Whether you sell £250,000 homes or £5 million country estates, this episode is packed with practical ideas that will help you raise your fees, improve your marketing and create an estate agency people genuinely want to recommend.

Your Property Listing Is a Trailer, Not the Film

jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 38:27

Most estate agents think property photography is about taking pictures of houses.

Balazs Kovacs thinks differently.

In this episode, founder of Prime Perspectives, Balazs shares why great property marketing isn't about showing every room. It's about creating a trailer for the film. The film being what it's actually like to live in the property.

We explore how professional photography, floorplans, video and lifestyle content influence buyer behaviour, why some properties stop people scrolling while others get ignored, and the small details that can make a huge difference to enquiry levels and sale prices.

Balazs also shares his remarkable personal journey. Arriving in the UK from Hungary with very limited English, working in restaurants, teaching himself photography and eventually building one of the most respected property marketing businesses in the industry.

Along the way we discuss:

Why the first image on Rightmove matters more than ever
• The psychology behind great property photography
• Hero shots, twilight photography and virtual staging
• Why experience beats expensive equipment
• The future of AI in property marketing
• Why human connection will become more valuable as technology advances
• How estate agents can use video to build trust and win more instructions

I Got Fired, Built a £2 Million Business and Sold It. Here's What I Learned

jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 45:36

This week's episode is a little different.

It's the 100th episode of The Utterly Indispensable Podcast for Estate Agents and instead of me interviewing someone else, one of my clients, Peter Kennedy, turns the tables and interviews me.

We talk about the journey from getting fired from my first estate agency job, moving to London at 18, working my way through the corporate world, building a business from my kitchen table, growing it to 30 staff and £3 million turnover, and eventually selling it.

Along the way we discuss:

Why I wish I'd started my own business sooner
• The mistakes that nearly broke me
• What I learned from building and selling a company
• Why most estate agents don't need to become better agents, they need to become better business owners
• The future of estate agency, AI and brokerage models
• The lessons I've taken from 100 podcast conversations

It's a more personal episode than usual, and probably the most honest conversation I've had on the podcast so far.

And if you've ever wondered who the bloke asking all the questions actually is, this one's for you.

Adam Day Nearly Said No to eXp

jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Durée 44:33

Most people think Adam Day spotted eXp, jumped straight in and never looked back.

The truth is very different.

In this episode, Adam reveals how he nearly walked away from eXp before it ever launched in the UK. The Americans wanted one thing. Adam wanted another. At one point the whole deal was on the verge of collapsing.

It's a fascinating insight into one of the biggest success stories in modern estate agency and a reminder that even the opportunities that look obvious in hindsight rarely feel obvious at the time.

We also dive into Adam's journey from leaving school with four GCSEs, through building one of the UK's first online estate agencies, selling Hatched to Connells, and helping turn eXp UK into the largest estate agency brand in the country.

Along the way we discuss:

Why school results don't define your future
• The lessons learned from building and selling businesses
• Why community has been central to eXp's growth
• The truth about revenue share and agent attraction
• AI, automation and whether estate agency is really safe from disruption
• The future of self-employed agency in the UK

And somewhere along the way Adam developed a cough so fierce that the podcast came to an abrupt end. By the final few minutes I was genuinely concerned I'd become known as the man who killed Adam Day during a podcast recording.

Thankfully he survived.

This is a brilliant conversation about entrepreneurship, innovation, risk, opportunity and why some people seem able to spot the future before everyone else.

1,000 Property Deals Later… Here’s What Nobody Tells You

jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Durée 41:18

Jonathan Rolande has bought, sold, flipped and rescued more than 1,000 properties. He’s seen the market at its best, its worst, and at times, completely lose its mind.

In this episode, we go deep into what really happens behind the headlines. From nightmare cottages in Norfolk with wells in the kitchen, to problem tenants, structural disasters, property investment, AI, institutional landlords, and why the future of estate agency could look very different to what most agents expect.

Jonathan also shares his thoughts on:

Why the “impossible” properties are often where the opportunity sits
• The reality of landlords leaving the market
• Why big corporations buying thousands of homes should make agents pay attention
• How AI could massively reduce costs in estate agency
• Whether people will eventually choose robots over estate agents
• Why property management portfolios are becoming more valuable than ever
• The hidden difference between transactional business and genuinely helping people move home

There’s plenty of humour in this one, but also some very sharp thinking about where the property market and estate agency industry are heading next.

Jonathan has spent decades inside the industry, from running an estate agency through the crashes and booms, to becoming one of the UK’s most recognisable property commentators across TV, newspapers and radio.

If you work in property, there’s a lot in this conversation that will make you stop and think.

She Helped Estate Agents for Years… Then Risked Everything by Becoming One

jeudi 28 mai 2026 • Durée 53:53

This week I’m joined by Sam Ashdown, and this is a fascinating conversation about reputation, risk, marketing, and what happens when you finally decide to put your own advice to the test.

Long before AshdownJones became one of the most recognisable premium estate agency brands in the Lake District, Sam built HomeTruths.

Originally created to help homeowners market “unsellable” properties without simply slashing the price, HomeTruths became known for storytelling, presentation, direct mail and marketing that actually made homes stand out.

Over time, estate agents across the UK started paying attention.

But there was one problem.

Agents kept telling her:

“You’ve never actually done the job yourself.”

So Sam did something most people would never dare to do. She risked the reputation and credibility she’d spent years building and launched her own estate agency from scratch.

The industry response?

Some people openly said she’d fail. Others mocked the branding, the fees, the brochures, the marketing and the way AshdownJones positioned itself.

Instead, they built something different.

In this episode we get into:

Why direct mail is still their single biggest lead generator
• How storytelling became the foundation of the brand
• The dangers of estate agents all looking the same
• Turning down instructions that didn’t fit the vision
• Why values only matter when they cost you money
• The balance between systems, standards and freedom
• Coaching, masterminds and outside perspective
• Why business should still feel exciting, even in your late 50s
