Why do Some Estate Agents Struggle to Build Trust Quickly? Everyone says trust is the foundation of an estate agent’s success, but how often do we ask why some agents fail at it? Here’s one reason: agents sometimes prioritise their agenda over truly listening. Trust isn’t built by promising the highest price or the quickest sale; it’s built by proving you understand your client’s goals. How to fix it: Start every valuation with one question: “What does success look like for you in this move?” Then show them how you’ll achieve their definition of success.
The Loneliness of Running Your Own Estate Agency… Running your own business is often sold as ‘the’ dream: freedom, control, and unlimited potential. But let’s talk about the part no one mentions, the nightmare of loneliness. When you are a one person operation, there’s no team to bounce ideas off, no colleagues to share frustrations with, and no one to celebrate the small wins. It’s just you, carrying the weight of every decision, every challenge, and every 3am sleepless night. One way to combat this? Find a mentor. Someone who’s walked the path before you and can offer guidance, support, and encouragement. A mentor won’t just help with strategy; they’ll remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. How? Agents Together can help you find an Estate Agent who has walked that path before you. Don’t underestimate the power of connection—it could make all the difference in those tough moments.
