From Burnout to Balance: Joe Rylett’s Honest Journey in Estate Agency | Real Agency Talk

Adam Mackay

In this powerful episode of Real Agency Talk, we sit down with Joe Rylett — one of the longest-serving eXp agents in the UK — for a raw and inspiring conversation about life, mental health, and building a thriving business in estate agency.

Joe opens up about his journey from policing to property, the pressures of high-street agency life, and the burnout that nearly made him walk away from the industry. He shares how going self-employed with eXp gave him back his freedom, balance, and purpose — and why he believes this model is the future of estate agency.

We cover:
 ✔️ Joe’s transition from the police to property
 ✔️ Mental health challenges in high-pressure roles
 ✔️ The truth about going self-employed
 ✔️ Building a brand and finding your tribe
 ✔️ Supporting other agents and growing a team
 ✔️ Why the eXp model isn’t just the future — it’s the now

Whether you're an agent feeling stuck, a business owner exploring new models, or just looking for a bit of honesty and inspiration — this one’s for you.
