Jon and Andy are joined by Russell Quirk who recalls countless tales of his Dad's cars.He reckons his Dad swapped cars every 6 months, and we're not just talking old Ford Escorts (although he had an RS2000) we're talking E-Types, Aston Martin's, Rolls Royces, TVR, Porsche and more. Russell's Dad was an Estate Agent in Essex, and liked to show off a little as to how successful he was. In later life he got into Car Dealerships, and was known as Mazda Man due to his brand allegiance. Russell's proudest tale is the story of tracking down the personalised number plate that used to be worn by his father's Aston Martin V8 Vantage, until, one day when he came home from work without it, as it had been sold... with the 4 digit plate GO 92. Many years later Russell chanced upon the plate for sale and simply had to buy it! So it now lives on one of his own cars in tribute to his late father. We hope you enjoy this one as much as all the others. A big thanks to Russell for coming on to talk with us.

Russell Quirk thinks he has solved the ongoing battle between estate agents and conveyancers. Listen to him in conversation with Iain McKenzie about the struggles modern day conveyancers face, and how some Guild Members are already ahead of the game.
In the first of our two-part interview, hear Russell Quirk's interesting, and potentially controversial, take on whether the current estate agency model works and how we should be looking to America for inspiration, as he sits with Iain McKenzie and Holly Hibbett. In Part two, Russell and Iain will discuss the solution for bettering relationships between conveyancers and estate agents.
Property expert Russell Quirk maintains that housing will always be a good investment and prices will, in the long run, always go up. Perhaps this year inflation will rise faster, so in real terms prices may dip, but in the long run, he reckons, the direction will always be north. Prof Steve Keen on the other hand, maintains that, at some point, things will rapidly head south. Why? Because banks are offering loans through the creation of new money, which makes it easier for them to meet consumer demand, irrespective of how realistic house prices are. And they get locked into a feedback loop, where valuations are based on previous valuations. Your house is worth more because all the other houses around you are worth more. This, recons Steve, will come unstuck, possibly in a big way. He says we don't accept it because it's not happened in recent history. Just as we didn't expect a pandemic because we hadn't seen one like it for 100 years.

How do we solve the home-moving conundrum?Property industry veteran and co-founder of ProperPR Russell Quirk joins David Opie in discussion about the state of the home moving process. In typically robust fashion, Russell challenges the conversation about the current state of play, placing the consumer at the heart of his message. "(Through my involvement in estate agency) I genuinely see and hear the woes of those consumers. First time buyers who are bewildered. Elderly people who wanted to move in March, and don't end up moving until June."Where does the solution lie? Is it the responsibility of the conveyancing sector to wake up and shake up? Is it technology? Is it culture? Do we think the home-moving process could be challenged by solutions from foreign markets, where the home move is less arduous with lower fall through rates? Say it quietly but does the solution actually lie with estate agents... Listen in to hear Russell's thoughts on the Today's Conveyancer podcast.

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

Russell Quirk, co-founder of Properganda PR is a property news specialist and joins me 5 weeks into lockdown. Coronavirus has caused market shutdown. Millions of jobs are being protected by the government's furlough scheme as moving home becomes a near-impossible task. But will the downturn cause long-term structural damage to the market? What will record-low interest rates do? And what about those landlords who've become the actual occupier of the property against the rules of their mortgage? Russell gives us his view.
Dell'intervista a Russell Quirk, mi sono rimasti soprattutto questi due aspetti:✔️ cosa succederà a Purplebricks e cosa ne sarà dell'agenzia immobiliare online;✔️ cosa si sarebbe potuto - e dovuto - fare diversamente con Emoov per evitare il fallimento;Russell, nel momento in cui gli ho chiesto cosa ne sarà degli agenti immobiliari, mi ha risposto così: “Penso che la strada più sostenibile per le agenzie immobiliari sia di far leva sugli agenti stessi ed il loro personal brand".Scarica la trascrizione dell'intera intervista ed ascolta il podcast
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...

Russell Quirk - never knowingly under quoted
"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.
The Property Show Podcast with Russell Quirk and Kate Faulkner Part 2 by Coreco
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!

Phil Dobbie talk to Russell Quirk, CEO of eMoov, who suggests that the government needs to develop more social housing, as well as act as a competitive developer in the private sector. Otherwise, we will never address housing affordability.
Our guest this week is Russel Quirk, Founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk, the UK's multi-award winning hybrid estate agency. Russell provides fascinating insight into the new age of estate agency.
