The Real Agency Podcast | Elevating Estate Agents & Industry Leaders
Welcome to The Real Agency Podcast, the go-to space for estate agents, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals looking to grow, connect, and thrive in the modern property world.
Hosted by Adam, an experienced estate agent and leader at Real Agency. Co hosted by Steve Backley, Roger Black and Jamie Fisher, this podcast brings together top performers, industry disruptors, and business minds to share their journeys, strategies, and real-world insights.
🔹 What We’re About:
✅ Success Stories – Conversations with top agents, business owners, and industry influencers
✅ Mindset & Performance – Lessons from elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and high achievers
✅ Marketing & Growth – Strategies to elevate your brand and stand out in the property market
✅ Networking & Collaboration – How to build meaningful industry relationships
While we openly discuss the evolution of estate agency, including the opportunities at eXp UK, this isn’t a hard-sell podcast—it’s about education, inspiration, and real talk from people who have been in the trenches and built success in their own way.
If you’re an agent looking to level up, a business owner exploring new opportunities, or simply someone who wants to hear from the best in the industry, this is the podcast for you.
