Why do average agents think they can go self-employed and be a success?

In today’s episode guests discuss the ‘new’ model of estate agency that has got the industry buzzing, and whether just about anyone can ‘go’ self-employed. Is it right for everyone, should recruiters be doing more to explain the risks to those they are recruiting, and what is needed to actually be a success as a stand-alone agent, in one of the most competitive industries you can work.     In this week’s social hand grenade, the guests review a particular post that divides the group, which seeks to simplify the value proposition – but does it? The you can’t make it up segment provides more of the off-piste antics agents face week in week out. Waffle of the week lands on HS2 and potential impact of the project being shelved, and as always, Sam Offley of Agents Together, and Chirs Watkins make an appearance.    Ben is joined by Toby Martin of Reside Bath, Angi Cooney of C-Residential & Chris Buckler of The Estate Agency
