Behind every for sale board is an Estate Agent (just about) holding it all together
Most people don’t like estate agents.
We get it.
But maybe it’s time to look again.
Because behind every For Sale board is a human being trying their best.
Someone who answers the phone when a chain collapses on a Sunday.
Someone who gets shouted at for things outside their control.
Someone who swallows the stress so their client doesn’t have to.
They are there when a couple breaks down in tears during a valuation.
They are the calm voice when an elderly seller can’t find their way through the forms.
They sit in the car after a lost instruction, wondering what more they could have done.
This job isn’t about suits and sales. It’s about people.
The best agents don’t chase listings. They chase completions.
Because that’s when families get to move on, start over, begin again.
And for every joke, every jab, every eye roll they endure, most just keep showing up.
Not for glory.
Not for praise.
But because moving matters .... and they care enough to be part of it.
