And now for something completely different... 

In true Simon Bradbury style...it was never going to be a 'normal' podcast, and of course this isnt. 🤯

We take a totally different format for this episode, as Simon takes us through his top ten lessons learnt over FOUR DECADES (surely not...) in Estate Agency. 

Just a small highlight reel of this episode includes:

The importance of experience in estate agency
How much money are you leaving on the table? 
How to learn the 'rules of the game'
Is it actually 'different' for me in my market? 
Vulnerability... both our own, and, even how to exploit your competitors
The currency of trust
The art of negotiation
Closing deals
...we even cover Rightmove...
phew! 😮‍💨

We are incredibly grateful to Simon for sharing his insights which have lead his business to incredible, award winning, and sustained success across his markets - both residential, and premium. 

Profound, provacative and thought provoking - this, very different, episode of Property-Porn Stars has so much to offer, miss it at your peril!

Jamie Minors, Co-Founder of Minors & Brady Estate Agents in Norfolk set up his business at 22. He now sells more than any other owner operated estate agency not just in his area, but across the entire East of England...and growing. All from an incredibly 'traditional' set up of 5, high street, shopfront offices across the county, bucking the trends of not just self-employed agency, but even working from home and 'office hours'. 




Listen to this podcast, especially if you are running an estate agency business, but also if any of the below are subjects you want to learn from the best on: 




High street, traditional businesses vs self employed agencyThe commission structures to drive effective teamsManaging culture, a high tempo work rate and how to grow a business full of A Team playersWhat does an estate agency's leadership need to be, act like, look like, and even not do, to succeedHow to balance working with friends with maintaining incredibly high standards of qualityHow to deliver emotional intelligence, combined with driving hard KPI's across teamsHow your life outside of work impacts what you achieve at work

Jamie is a fascinating individual who has achieved an incredible amount at a very young age, and might be a voice you haven't heard before. But I promise it will be one you wont forget.

Marie Fritz is an awesome agent, delivering an incredible service to clients, achieving industry leading fee levels in the premium property market, and nurturing a rapidly growing business... all whilst spinning the plates of family life. 


She kindly shared an incredible amount of value with Matt and David, this is an episode not to be missed! 

Simon Whale (version 2.0) joins Matt and David in the studio to set the record straight about who is the most controversial character in the property industry... 

In his trademarked, unfiltered, 100mph style, 'Whaley' covers the length and breadth of the estate agency and proptech industries, giving his opinion on what the best premium agents are doing, what tech they are using, and what to avoid doing. 

His position in both Kerfuffle and Relocation Agent Network, as well as a background across proptech and an envious contact book of the best in the business, gives Simon an encyclopaedic knowledge which we tap into. All those long hours 'working' at the bar have paid off! 

What is the holy trinity of proptech? Will A.I. take our jobs? What does the future of the portal market look like, and what does that mean for agents? Why does Whaley keep saying it's January throughout the episode!? 😂

James Kendall is an awesome agent, running a market leading estate agency business in Bedfordshire. Having operated across the market, and in multiple discplines, James has settled on focussing his energy on mastering the premium market. 
In this episode, James talks us through the challenges hes faced and how hes overcome them, what he does differently to win market share in the premium market, and, perhaps most importantly of all, the importance of mindset (and even ego!) when succeeding in the premium property space. 
James shares the strategies hes employed on Linked In to win business from this platform, and how to manage different demographics on different social media platforms. This extends offline as well, and James explains how he tailors different marketing strategies in print to appeal to a wide customer range. 
James also gives insight into how he generates revenue from off-market deals, often a tricky area to get right. 
James is a great guy, and a brilliant agent, so don't miss out on this cracking episode from the self-labelled 'nutty professor' of the estate agency industry! 

Jessica Bishop, Advisor from DDRE Global, joins us in the studio to share her journey, and her insights, into what it takes to be successful in the competitive super-prime market of central London. 

From her experience and learning in a corporate setting, to the challenges and growth of 'going it alone' as  a self employed agent under the DDRE brand and stewardship of 'Mr Super Prime' himself Daniel Daggers, Jessica shares her insights as to what has lead her to success.

Even more than that, she shares her challenges, both personally and the illnesses that threatened to stop her new career (and maybe her life!) in its tracks, to the new world of self-employment and the discipline that comes with it. 

Perhaps the most interesting insight Jessica shares is around networking - a difficult, but absolutely essential, skill in achieving success in the prime and super prime markets, and how she achieves it. 

Networking is a both a discipline and a skill, one that Jessica has mastered through countless hours and countless events connecting with the right clientele, and in this episode she shares her methodology for how to network effectively and efficiently to make the right connections, in the right places, with the right people. 

Jessica shares both some practical advice, as well as inspirational stories, and this is an episode not to be missed!
