Hi, I'm John and I'm on a mission to transform this industry from within. Every week, I sit down with elite level agents from all over the UK. No fancy talk, no nonsense - they spill the beans on their real experiences and show you how to supercharge your career in estate agency. Most hate what I'm doing. Others love it. You decide..

<p class="p3"><strong>What if we stopped treating surveys as an afterthought?</strong></p> <p class="p1">Had the privilege of sitting down with <span class="s1"><strong>Mateo Cave</strong></span>, an emerging force in UK property surveying.</p> <p class="p1">In our latest Zero BS Estate Agency podcast, we unpacked something crucial (and all too often ignored):</p> <p class="p3"><strong>The condition of the property is the product.</strong></p> <p class="p1">So why are so many agents clueless about it?</p> <p class="p1">Matteo didn’t hold back:</p> <p class="p1">✔️ Lack of agent training around condition</p> <p class="p1">✔️ Retrofits that ruin Victorian homes</p> <p class="p1">✔️ The hidden cost of buyer’s remorse</p> <p class="p1">✔️ Why pre-listing surveys could save us all time, stress, and thousands in fall-throughs</p> <p class="p1">He’s 20. Just twenty!</p> <p class="p1">Yet his vision for transparency, tech-driven solutions, and informed decisions is years ahead of where our industry is stuck.</p> <p class="p1">We talked lofts with no building regs, patchwork repairs, and how opinion overload (mum, dad, Terry down the pub) derails deals.</p> <p class="p1">Matteo’s message?</p> <p class="p3"><strong>Surveyors and agents aren’t on opposing teams.</strong></p> <p class="p1">We’re both here to help people make smarter decisions with what’s often their biggest financial commitment.</p> <p class="p1">If you’re an agent who gives a damn about standards, listen to this one.<br /> <br /> https://www.survey-shack.com/</p> <p class="p1">#EstateAgency #Surveyors #PropertyTransparency #HomeBuying #ZeroBSPodcast #SurveyShack #PropTech #EstateAgentsWhoCare</p>

<p class="p4">In this episode, I sit down with <span class= "s1"><strong>Reiss Braniff</strong></span>, one of the sharpest self-employed estate agents in the game. We dive deep into what really maximises the value of a home (hint: it’s not a glossy brochure or Rightmove listing), why Reiss walks away from sellers who won’t listen, and how he built a thriving agency rooted in <span class="s1"><strong>truth, trust, and delivery</strong></span>.</p> <p class="p4">We talk Purplebricks, pricing strategies, leasehold nightmares, and how being radically honest—especially with buyers—sets him apart. Whether you’re an agent trying to level up or a seller tired of hearing the same empty promises, this is a must-listen.</p> <p class="p1"><strong>🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:</strong></p> <p class="p5">• Why the agent—not the marketing—is what really sells the home.</p> <p class="p5">• Reiss’s approach to walking away from overpriced or misaligned sellers.</p> <p class="p5">• How to position yourself as the trusted expert in your area.</p> <p class="p5">• Why transparency with buyers leads to stronger sales outcomes.</p> <p class="p5">• Lessons from Purplebricks and how volume can kill service.</p> <p class="p5">• The power of helping flat owners when no one else would.</p> <p class="p5">• The systems and mindset that earn Reiss 1.5–2% fees with ease.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"><strong>💬 Standout Quotes:</strong></p> <blockquote>“This isn’t a KPI exercise. I work with sellers who want to work with me.”</blockquote> <blockquote>“I’d rather win two instructions out of ten and actually deliver, than win ten and underperform.”</blockquote> <blockquote>“Anyone can list a property. But can they get it through to completion? That’s where the real work begins.”</blockquote> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1"><strong>🎯 Who’s It For?</strong></p> <p class="p5">• Estate agents (new or experienced) who want to operate with more integrity and get better results.</p> <p class="p5">• Sellers trying to figure out who’s full of it and who actually delivers.</p> <p class="p5">• Anyone curious about what great agency should look like in 2025.</p>
