You’re an estate agent? So, what’s the market doing?” It’s the first thing everyone asks when they find out what you do. And yet... scroll through most agents’ social feeds and you’ll see: ✅ New listings ✅ Just sold ✅ Meet the team ✅ Awards ✅ Office dogs (I like that though) But barely a whisper about what’s actually happening in the property market. Why? Is it because you think people aren’t interested? (They are.) Worried you’ll say the wrong thing? (Outsource it to people like Dataloft or myself) Don’t know where to get the data?
