In this episode of the Real Agency Podcast, Adam Mackay sits down with Ross, a Real Agency partner who made the leap into self-employment just eight weeks ago.
Ross shares an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what the first two months as a self-employed estate agent are really like — the highs, the doubts, the fall-throughs, and the mindset shifts required when the business is finally yours.
Covering his journey from a traditional employed background into building his own local brand across Horsham, Shoreham, and surrounding villages, Ross talks openly about:
- The emotional rollercoaster of early fall-throughs
- How having a clear plan and strategy helps recover deals
- Why looking after buyers properly is one of the most overlooked opportunities in UK estate agency
- The importance of doing the basics brilliantly — viewings, follow-ups, communication
- Balancing family life while going all-in on a new business
- Why the future of estate agency is becoming more personal, local, and agent-led
- This episode is a must-listen for:
- Employed agents considering going self-employed
-New partner agents in their first year
- Estate agents feeling stuck in traditional models
- Anyone who wants a realistic view of what building a personal agency actually takes
- No hype. No shortcuts. Just a real conversation about building a reputation, not just a pipeline.
