Industry veteran David Brierley has enjoyed a fascinating and varied career throughout the industry so far; agent and supplier, high end and 'online', independent and corporate, and from trainee to mentor, to name only a few. On a non-industry related note, David is an adventurer, and an avid sailor - accomplishing things that frighten me just to think about... sailing the crocodile (and humungous oil-tanker!) ridden Panama canal in a catamaran, and voyaging across an ocean where the nearest landmass is 400 miles away, 6 miles of ocean beneath you, and the nearest humans to you...are in the international space station!

The extraordinary tale of two visionary property entrepreneurs, EasyProperty's Rupert Finnemore and BlackBrick's Jonathan Liebman, is covered in this interview, exploring their latest partnership and the profound impact they are having on the real estate industry. Their collaboration is now into its fifth project, the new BlackBrick Gardens development in Cape Town, which is already 65% subscribed with 15 days to go. The previous development in the Mother City delivered a net yield of 12% a year for Easy Property investors - with zero entry barriers to a market previously restricted to institutional investors.

Today's guest is International Expansion Leader of eXp UK. He started his estate agency career at Country Properties in Hitchin way back in 1997, then in 2006, he founded the 2nd online estate agent, hatched.co.uk, to enter the UK property market. In 2015, he led the company to be the first-ever online estate agent in the UK, to be acquired by a 'bricks and mortar' estate agency group - Connells Group. In July 2017, he took the reigns as COO at easyProperty and also spent a short time with Emoov in 2018. There is lots of experience in this episode and plenty to be taken away from it too.

One of the most experienced and high profile figures in the industry says individual agents working for online companies are typically suffering from low income, struggle to have a good work/life balance, and don’t enjoy the true benefits of self-employment. Adam Day has been an estate agent for 22 years and is best known for a trio of online positions - he founded one of the first online agencies, Hatched, in 2005 and then sold it to Connells in 2015, after which he headed up operations at easyProperty before joining the original Emoov where he was head of estate agency for a short period. Now Day is leading the UK activities of EXP Realty, a US estate agency that describes itself as ‘the Amazon of property’ and which allows its freelance agents a higher-than-usual chunk of sales commission as well as equity in the company. In an extensive interview with industry commentator and consultant Christopher Watkin, Day talks about the challenge of agents going self-employed - “making the big jump” - and how in some cases they are disappointed at the lack of empowerment that comes with working for themselves, despite believing it was going to be easier. Referring specifically to online agents, most of which have self-employed local experts, he says: “Some of them have to have three interviews, have to ask for holidays, have to work own Saturdays, they’re expected to hit targets - that’s not being self-employed.” He says many agents in the online sector are frustrated at reduced investment by the surviving businesses which have been unable to sustain high spending levels, and says there is a widespread feeling amongst online agents that “It’s not worth my while to go out to do this for £250 a listing.” Day admits that on a practical basis going into self-employment in an online agency may be easier than doing the same thing with a traditional bricks-and-mortar firm because the £250-per-listing comes relatively quickly - typically as soon as there listing is confirmed - while waiting for a commission to come through from a private treaty sale can take weeks or months. But he insists many self-employed agents in the online sector in particular suffer from an inability to achieve the work-life balance they wanted. He is also wary of how agents employed by firms - particularly corporates - “are part of a very rigid process” that means they cannot express themselves fully as salespeople or as entrepreneurs, working to a regime that often allows little scope for personal initiative. It’s a fascinating interview with one of the leading figures in the industry.

The Property Show is back for another entertaining discussion on the housing market and the prospects for 2019. This month Andrew "Monty" Montlake is joined by two property legends. Ed Mead is a show regular and worked with Douglas & Gordon for many years and now founder of Proptech firm Viewber. We also have a newcomer to this programme, Rob Ellice, the Founder of EasyProperty.com and co-host on Property Radio. They discuss house prices, the property market in 2019, the effect of Brexit, the New Build market and whether or not online agents are really all they are cracked up to be.

Rob Ellice, CEO of easyProperty talks about PM Theresa May’s decision to focus on dealing with high cost of renting and the measures being taken to make long-term accommodation plan in rental affordable. Listen to the full segment to know if the weak growth is the real problem and property is not that expensive as it appears. #property, #UK, #London, #rentals, #Housing,

Rob Ellice, CEO of EasyProperty.com, rejects popular theories about post-referendum state of the UK property market, and explains to Tip TV viewers that the property market may be down… but is definitely not out. Myth-Buster: Ellice says there is little evidence of the weak Pound generating overseas demand for London property. Says, Brexit uncertainty is keeping middle-east investors at bay. USP of this segment: Ellice accepts that Central London is a difficult market, but points to outer London areas that could do well. Ellice presents data, which suggests Bristol and Bath as current/future hot spots. #UK, #London, #Bristol, #Bath, #OuterLondon, #property, #fundamentals, #macro, #investing, #interestrates
