The Rudest Estate Agent in London

from The Estate Agent Consultancy Podcast · host The Estate Agent Consultancy

In 1950, an 18-year-old joined his father’s sleepy Chelsea estate agency and decided to break every rule of the trade. Instead of dressing up damp basements as “characterful,” he called them revolting. Instead of polishing the truth, he weaponised it, and ended up gentrifying half of West London.
