Who’s really generating the business?

There are agents who consistently win instructions, hit their targets and build a reputation that keeps people coming back to them.

At some point, I think it’s worth asking where that value is actually being created.

If clients trust you, recommend you and choose to work with you, you’ve already built something incredibly valuable. The question is how much of that could become your own business rather than continuing to build somebody else’s.

That thinking was a big part of why we founded TAUK.

If this feels familiar, let’s have a conversation.

Manchester, we're coming your way! đź“Ť

Carla might have been keeping the details to herself in this video, but I can now confirm that we'll be heading to Manchester on 12th November for our next TAUK event.

If you're an experienced estate agent who's curious about personal agency and what it could mean for your career, we'd love you to join us.

It's an opportunity to meet like-minded agents, have some honest conversations about the property market and explore how you could build your own business in the area you know best.

No pressure or expectations, just a chance to ask questions and find out a little more about the opportunities available with TAUK.

We're looking forward to welcoming you to Manchester on 12th November, and hopefully seeing a few new faces in the room!

A good catch-up with good people.

Great to spend some time with Celeste and Steve, two of our TAUK business partners covering Portsmouth and Southampton.

One of the things I really value about TAUK is being able to get together like this, talk openly about what’s happening in our local markets and share the things we’re learning along the way.

Running your own business gives you independence, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure everything out alone. Having other people around you to bounce ideas off, share experiences with and learn alongside makes a huge difference.

Thanks both, really enjoyed the catch-up!

Listed on Wednesday.

Offer accepted on Monday.

Five days is an exceptional result, but this client’s experience of selling with Mia Evans was about far more than speed.

It began with honest pricing, backed by evidence. No inflated valuation to win the instruction. No guesswork. Just a clear strategy that created immediate interest and a very busy open house.

Then came thoughtful presentation, confident negotiation and straightforward advice without pressure. At every stage, the client felt informed, properly guided and still in control of their own decisions.

As they put it:

“The speed of the sale was only part of it. The real value was in the smooth, stress-free experience and the peace of mind that came with it.”

Five days to agree the sale. An experience that made one of life’s most stressful moments feel manageable.

Mia, that is exceptional personal agency from start to finish.

A word from one of our Founders 🏡 Steph the Estate Agent | Aughton 🏡:

“Your home deserves to be someone’s “have you seen this?” ❤️

And everything we put out, from a property film to a brochure, should make you feel good about trusting us with it.

So this is a lovely moment. Matt Seddon is joining TAUK as Head Creative.

We met on a shoot for one of my listings about four years ago. Countless homes, ideas and lengthy debates about music later, here we are 🤣

Together, we’ll be raising the standard across our photography, films, design and campaigns. Building a brand people recognise and enjoy following, even when moving is the last thing on their minds.

I take so much inspiration from brands like Holland Cooper and the care they put into the whole experience. That’s the ambition: every detail feeling considered, with something worth stopping your scroll for.

And helping our agents bring that quality to their own towns, consistently and cost effectively. Yesterday’s meeting left me very excited about what could come next across the UK 👀

Better marketing for our sellers. Stronger local brands for our agents. More ways for people to discover lovely homes beyond the portals.

A rising tide and all that.

Matt, meeting you on that shoot was a blessing. So pleased we get to build this next bit together ❤️”

How long have you been saying “maybe next year”?

I speak to agents who have been thinking about making a change for months, and sometimes years. They’re waiting to hit the next target, finish another quarter or reach the point where everything suddenly feels completely certain.

I understand it, but careers rarely work that neatly.

You can do all the research and ask all the right questions, but eventually you have to decide what you believe you’re capable of.

If you know you can deliver a better service, you want more control over your future and you’ve got the experience to build something for yourself, perhaps you already have the most important answers.

Don’t let another year pass simply waiting to feel ready.

A good day in London with an even better ending!

After a brilliant day brainstorming with Dale Woods, Isaac Bull, Chris Buckler and Carla, talking about the growth of TAUK in London and how we can bring more great agents into the business, we stumbled across somewhere we couldn’t exactly walk past.

Carla is a massive Peaky Blinders fan, so when we spotted the bar, going in for a drink was pretty much inevitable.

A lot of good ideas came out of the day, plenty to take forward, and a bit of fun to finish it off.

Great to spend some proper time together looking at the opportunity we have in London and the part we can play in finding the right people to join us.

Estate agency will give you a hundred things to do every day.

The trick is knowing which ones actually matter.

The top agents I’ve worked with know their numbers. They know what they’re aiming for and they know what activity is going to get them there.

That means they can look at everything else for what it is. Noise.

Being a great agent isn’t about trying to do more than everybody else.

It’s about being really clear on what moves the needle and staying focused on it.

28/09/2026

“That’ll do” has never sat particularly well with me.

And I know there are a lot of agents who feel exactly the same.

If the marketing could be better, they’ll improve it. If there’s another conversation worth having, they’ll have it. If they think there’s more they can do for their client, they’ll do it.

That attitude can be difficult to maintain in an environment built around volume and getting onto the next thing.

But give those same people the freedom to run their own business, put their own name above the door and work in a way they believe in?

That’s when things get interesting.

It was never just about the commission.

Some of the best agents I’ve met throughout my career weren’t driven by earning the biggest commission cheque.

They wanted something else.

They wanted to be genuinely proud of the work they were doing and to build a reputation that meant something in the community they served.

They wanted to walk into the local coffee shop and be known as Sarah the brilliant estate agent, or John the person you speak to when you’re thinking about moving. Not because they’d shouted the loudest, but because they’d earned that reputation.

People trusted them. They cared about the outcome, and over time, people noticed.

That thinking played a big part in why TAUK came to life.

Personal agency gives you the opportunity to put your own name behind the work you do and build a business where your reputation grows alongside it.

Do a brilliant job. Become known for it. Let everything else follow.

One lost pitch doesn’t define you.

Losing a pitch never feels good. You’ve put the time in, prepared properly, had the conversations and genuinely believed you were the right person for the job.

So when they choose somebody else, of course it can feel personal.

But more often than not, it isn’t.

There could be a hundred reasons behind that decision. Timing, price, family advice, an existing relationship, or simply something completely outside of your control.

What matters is being able to look back at the things you could control. Did you prepare well? Did you listen? Did you communicate your value? Is there anything you’d do differently next time?

Learn from those bits and then move on.

I’ve been in this industry long enough to know that one decision doesn’t determine your value as an agent. How you respond to it says far more.

Keep going. The next opportunity is never too far away.

A brilliant evening with our business partners

We recently got a number of our business partners together at Sky Bar in Gunwharf, overlooking Portsmouth, for an evening of good conversation, a few drinks and plenty of shared experiences.

It’s always great seeing newer partners finding their feet and starting to scale their businesses, while those who are further along can share what they’ve learned through their own growth.

There’s huge value in getting everyone in the same room every now and then. Not for presentations or anything too formal, just the chance to enjoy some downtime, share the wins, talk about what’s working and learn from each other.

A lot of fun, a brilliant group of people and a great reminder of the community we’re building at TAUK.

Big thank you to Maddie for bringing it all together.

By the time Darren came to 🏡 Steph the Estate Agent | Aughton 🏡 and 🏡 Lorraine the Estate Agent, Aughton 🏡 already been on the market with two other local agents.

He had seen the difference good presentation, proper promotion and agents who actually put the work in could make.

Steph and Lorraine took over.

One week later, the property was sold.

Darren described the difference as “night and day” and said there are levels to estate agency.

But the bit we’re proudest of?

“Most important, I trusted them.”

Better marketing. A better result. Two people Darren would choose again.

Thank you for trusting us with it, Darren.

Local knowledge helps to secure a sale. It’s what happens afterwards that can make the greatest difference.

For David and Jolie, having Tracey and Iain on the front foot meant more than getting people through the door. It meant having experienced advice when questions arose, regular updates as the sale progressed and two people prepared to speak to everyone involved and chase matters when needed.

Because selling a home can be stressful. Feeling as though somebody capable is looking after it changes everything.

Thank you, David and Jolie, for trusting Tracey and Iain with your move, and for taking the time to share such generous words.

Good estate agency isn’t simply measured by the sale. It’s remembered in the way people were looked after while getting there.
