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.
In questo podcast ti racconto perché l'agenzia immobiliare ibrida sarà il futuro e ti spiego cosa fare per diventarlo prima che sia troppo tardi.Quando le agenzie immobiliari online sono apparse sulla scena immobiliare, molti pensavano che il settore fosse sulla strada buona per cambiare per sempre.Era il 2009, quando in UK faceva il suo ingresso sul campo la startup di Russell Quirk, Emoov.Tra l'altro, qualche tempo fa ho intervistato proprio Russell per parlare di agenzia immobiliare del futuro: clicca qui per approfondire.Le grandi promesse a livello di sconti provvigionali e la modernità di approccio in linea con gli ultimi trend tecnologici, erano tra le altre cose gli asset che posizionavano ottimamente il modello online per una scalata incredibile.Dopotutto, ormai tutti i settori - incluso quello assicurativo e quello finanziario - stavano andando verso una prepotente digitalizzazione dei propri servizi.Nel 2014 il modello riceveva la sua consacrazione: era arrivata alla ribalta Purplebricks, il nome più popolare.Fu un successo, in pochi anni una quotazione in borsa, l'apertura in diversi mercati internazionali.Ma agenzia immobiliare online non è solo UK, ci sono state - e continuano ad esistere - anche realtà differenti in diversi Stati europei e non, come:- Compass e Redfin in USA;- Meilleurs Agent in Francia;- Homeday in Germania;- Propertista in Spagna;Per approfondire visita l'articolo: micheleschirru.it/agenzia-ibrida-futuro

Link: https://micheleschirru.it/la-mia-intervista-a-russell-quirk-founder-di-emoov-co-founder-di-properganda-pr-investor-director-in-keller-williams/Qualche settimana fa, nell'ambito del mio podcast PropTech Italia e del portale Unissu, ho avuto il piacere di intervistare Russell Quirk.Russell, numero 1 nella Top 10 dei principali influencer nel Regno Unito. Fondatore di Emoov, co-fondatore di Properganda PR, Investor Director in Keller Williams UK e molto altro ...Per me, e sono sicuro di non essere il solo, è sempre molto piacevole stare ad ascoltarlo perché rappresenta una fonte inesauribile di risorse.È una figura molto influente, se prendiamo in considerazione il settore immobiliare nel mondo anglosassone. Per questo motivo, non sorprende che sia stato recentemente premiato come miglior influencer per il PropTech in UK.Ecco qui l'articolo che presenta la lista...Il quadro attuale del mondo PropTechNel corso degli anni, lo abbiamo visto coinvolto in diverse conferenze, eventi, spettacoli, mettendosi sempre in prima linea sulle discussioni legate al futuro del settore immobiliare e sulle implicazioni che la digital transformation avrà sulla vita di clienti e professionisti immobiliari.Diciamoci la verità: l'immobiliare è stato il settore tra i più lenti ad adottare la tecnologia.Questo è vero per il Regno Unito, ma ancora di più per il resto del mondo.I "trend-setter" per eccellenza sono sicuramente gli Stati Uniti e il Regno Unito, ma da qualche tempo anche altre regioni d'Europa stanno cercando di fare la loro parte del lavoro.Germania e Francia meritano una menzione in questo senso; sicuramente l'interesse crescente per Axel Springer in aziende proptech come Homeday, inizialmente, e Meilleurs Agents, recentemente, è un segnale forte.Qui il loro comunicato stampa al riguardo.Ma non è tutto qui, perché anche Spagna e Finlandia stanno rafforzando la loro posizione, così come l'Italia, dove grazie al PropTech Monitor siamo a conoscenza della presenza di oltre 120 aziende proptech per il solo 2019.Tra l'altro, ho recentemente scritto un articolo su Unissu - che puoi leggere qui - sull'ascesa della PropTech italiano.Ma in Italia, questi sviluppi si sono verificati circa 7 anni dopo che qualcosa ha iniziato a muoversi molto nel Regno Unito.Un cambio di paradigma?L'interesse per Axel Springer in Meilleurs Agent è un segnale che, a conferma di quanto Russell dirà più avanti nell'intervista, l'interesse si stia spostando dall'agenzia immobiliare online, fornendo servizi diretti al consumatore, ad un modello in cui i servizi sono, di contro, rivolti agli agenti ed agli operatori del settore."Penso che la strada da percorrere in modo sostenibile per le agenzie immobiliari sia sfruttare gli agenti ed il loro personal brand, aiutandoli con l'amministrazione, la conformità e così via. Questo è quello che avrei dovuto fare diversamente con Emoov. Sarei dovuto diventare un Keller Williams nel Regno Unito già nel 2018, facendo pagare un tariffa intera dell'1,5% più IVA in caso di vendita. "Era il 2009 quando Russell fondò Emoov, uno dei progetti più interessanti nell'intero spettro delle proptech, un business che ha attirato l'attenzione a livello globale. Non è stato il primo - la prima agenzia immobiliare online è stata Hatched di Adam Day, prima acquisita da Connells e poi chiusa nel 2018, ma certamente Russell ha saputo farsi strada e far crescere i risultati.All'epoca, ma anche adesso, ovviamente si stava concentrando molto sull'agenzia immobiliare online, essendo stato un agente immobiliare per molto tempo.Come forse saprai, per Emoov le cose non sono andate molto bene. Dopo 9 anni, anche dopo essersi uniti a Tepilo, Channel 4 e Urban.co.uk, dopo essere stati investiti 29 milioni di sterline all'interno del business, nel 2018 Emoov è entrata in amministrazione controllata e Russell ha dovuto trovare un modo alternativo per guadagnarsi da vivere.“Avrei dovuto esplorare in modo più aggressivo con il mio CdA la possibilità di diventare un agente a tariffa piena e che utilizzava esperti locali, utilizzava la tecnologia e la centralizzazione operativa. Ed in realtà ho chiuso il cerchio quando ho iniziato a guardare cosa diavolo avrei dovuto fare per vivere. Era il gennaio 2019, mi sono chiesto: come pago le tasse scolastiche e come posso nutrire la mia famiglia?”E qui arriva Properganda PR e così via, come ci dirà in realtà nell'intervista ...“La cosa ovvia per me era fare PR. Perché ho un profilo ed una reputazione nell'immobiliare, era naturale che lo facessi per altre persone ed ora abbiamo molti clienti che ne traggono beneficio come propaganda PR. ”Ma non andiamo oltre...
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.
"Sono Russell Quirk, e ho fallito" - con queste parole, l'ex amministratore delegato di Emoov ha iniziato a spiegare come è crollata la sua agenzia e perché il più ampio settore delle agenzie immobiliari online si sia contratto negli ultimi mesi.Parlando al FUTURE: PropTech Conference a Londra, ieri, Quirk ha descritto la sua presentazione sul fallimento di alcuni degli onliner come "uno strano tipo di terapia".Lo scorso Novembre il marchio Emoov è stato acquistato, continuando ad operare come agenzia online.Quirk ha detto al pubblico di FUTURE: PropTech che quando ha lanciato Emoov era "molto positivo riguardo alle prospettive del settore delle agenzie online", basandosi sulla convinzione che gli si potesse pagare meno e fare comunque un lavoro decente.Tuttavia, ha ammesso che la sua previsione originale di una quota di mercato del 35% per gli agenti online era "completamente sbagliata", aggiungendo che l'attuale quota di mercato del sette per cento dopo tutti i milioni di sterline spesi per il marketing era in qualche modo stupefacente.Quirk ha quindi delineato alcuni motivi per cui la quota di mercato è ancora così bassa:- Concorrenza: Quirk ha spiegato come la competizione sia cresciuta in modo significativo - nel Regno Unito ci sono 55 agenzie immobiliari online - e tutti facciano le stesso cose e spingano esclusivamente per offrire un servizio al ribasso;- Costo per cliente: Quirk ha dichiarato che il costo della pubblicità era in ascesa, per esempio citando il pay per click di Google, il "costo per clic" per la frase "agente immobiliare online" nel 2012 era di £2, alla fine del 2018 era £50.Per quanto riguarda il futuro, il fondatore di Emoov ha affermato che il settore online potrebbe raggiungere il 10% della quota di mercato, ma secondo lui non lo supererebbe - tuttavia ha avvertito che gli agenti tradizionali che hanno screditato il PropTech avevano torto.Secondo lui, il 50% degli agenti tradizionali ignora il mondo PropTech, affermando che in molti avevano la testa nella sabbia.

It seems too abstract to be true - but the nosedive from £100 million to zero was exactly what happened to eMoov, just 6 weeks ago. This wonderful chat with Russell Quirk explores what happened. He was completely open, honest and reflective on the experience. We discussed how it impacted him professionally and personally. What he'd do again, and what he'd do differently. And you know what? I learned more in a couple of hours than I ever did reading “success” books or autobiographies. Thankfully I recorded it too, and here it is for your enjoyment.
Eddie and James headed to Emoov Towers to catch up with CEO Russell Quirk, shortly after his announcement of a £9m fundraise.
It might not be on the top of your to-do list when you have a child, but investing and saving for them to build a tidy nest egg for when they reach adulthood is best done sooner rather than later. In the latest This is Money podcast, editor Simon Lambert, assistant editor (and new parent) Lee Boyce alongside host Georgie Frost look at the best ways to save for your children. We discuss investment options, Junior Isas, a pension and other ways, and why 'the hardest step is the first, but it is also the most powerful'. Lee has a target of a £50,000 pot to build up for his new daughter ahead of her 18th birthday in 2036 – and discusses how he plans to achieve this, with a little help from Einstein's eighth wonder of the world, compounding. Elsewhere, we talk about how invest for your own retirement and Fidelity's 'Power of Seven' matrix, as it looks like the pensions dashboard is finally moving ahead. We talk about the collapse of online estate agent Emoov and the future of the industry with the Bank of England's latest Brexit predictions suggesting property values could fall 30 per cent in the worst case scenario. Finally, we reveal the latest British Gas rip off and whether could we have found the answer to expensive boiler replacements.
The Property Show is back for another dose of property related chat, anecdotes and arguments as we try to understand exactly what is happening in the wider property world. This month Andrew Montlake (@montysblog) welcomes another two property legends on to the show; Russell Quirk (@EmoovCEO) the Founder and CEO at Emoov, the UKs No 1 Hybrid Estate Agent, and Kate Faulkner (@katefaulkner), founder of Designs on Property website and one of the UKs leading property experts. Both are regular voices on BBC, LBC, ITV and the national press. In the first part of the show the trio discuss, amongst other things, the housing market in general, where property prices are going, how to choose an estate agent, the future of Estate Agency itself and how we should be working together to look after the consumer. We also learn about Russel’s first foray into Estate Agency at age 5 ! Look out for Part 2 coming soon featuring a heated discussion on Help to Buy!

In this episode, Carlos sat down with Seedcamp Experts in Residence, Keith Wallington (previously at Mimecast) and Taylor Wescoatt (previously eMoov, Timeout and eBay), to discuss product hypothesis and getting to minimum viable product. Both have played roles in scaling businesses and worked with many of Seedcamp's portfolio, recognising that a lot of companies have more validation for a service than is actually the case. As EIR's they work to ensure startups are testing their theories to validate their products in the right way. In this podcast, the three discuss the topic "winners recognise their startup is a series of untested hypothesis" a quote from Steve Blank, author of The Startup Owners Manual.
