Great catching up with Anita Lewis and Beth Morgan – over lunch at The Korean Cowgirl.

No matter how busy things get, you can never underestimate the value of taking time to connect. It’s amazing how much you can cover over lunch, both professionally and personally.

Relationships remain at the heart of our industry, and these conversations are often where the best ideas and opportunities begin.

Now it’s time to work off the calories!

📍Swanley Village, Kent

While waiting for my viewers to arrive, I couldn’t resist taking a few photos of this one….

What always amazes me about this spot is the contrast. You’re surrounded by countryside, country lanes and open green space, yet you’re only around 7 minutes from the station with trains reaching London Bridge in as little as 19 minutes.

It genuinely feels miles away from London, but the commute says otherwise.

This beautiful 5 bedroom detached home is available for £900,000.

Could you live somewhere this rural knowing Central London is less than 20 minutes away by train? 🚆🌳

Another brilliant Estate Agent Dinner hosted by & 🍷🏡

Always great to spend time with fellow agency owners who truly understand the highs, lows and everything in between that comes with building a business in this industry.

Loved meeting Angi Cooney, Liana Loporto Browne, and catching up with Jenna Upson & — conversations covering business, podcasts, parenting, travel and plenty more.

And as always, good to see David Johnson of … who once again took home my unofficial “best dressed” award! Loved tonight’s shirt mate! 👔

These evenings are a great reminder of the value of surrounding yourself with great people and having honest and open conversations. 👏

Finally exchanged contracts on this home in Loose, near Maidstone.

Originally launched in 2022 at £1 million, we were the fifth agent appointed and have now successfully sold it for £725,000 — proving once again the damage overvaluing can do from day one.

20 months.
44 viewings.
Multiple failed buyers.
Endless chain and solicitor issues.
One successful outcome.

Some transactions really show why the UK property system needs reform.

Delighted to finally get this one over the line for our clients! 🍾 🥂

Can’t overstate the value of these dinners. The conversations around business, combined with what can only be described as a bit of “agency therapy,” are genuinely invaluable.

A big thank you to Matt and Neil Baldock for creating—and continuing—such a brilliant estate agents’ dinner.
