Long-term thinking: the difference between growing and just staying busy

In this blog: Most agents measure growth by how much is coming in. More instructions, more leads, more doors. A full diary feels like a healthy business.

A mid-year review: what to keep, change, or stop

In this blog: Six months ago you made decisions. New tools, new suppliers, new marketing activity, maybe a new hire. Some of those decisions were right. Some probably weren’t. Most have not been properly reviewed since January. That is not unusual. Most independent estate agents are running at pace and rarely create the space to […]
Reviewing supplier partnerships for long-term value: what estate agents should ask

In this blog: Most estate agents are paying for more supplier relationships than they are genuinely benefiting from. That is not a criticism of suppliers.
