• How to Build a Brokerage That Actually Works – with Yopa’s Tom Greenacre

  Tom Greenacre has done what many talk about but few pull off — built a thriving brokerage from scratch under the Yopa umbrella. From his early days at Countrywide to the chaos and colour of Purplebricks, Tom’s seen every version of estate agency. In this episode, we unpack how he’s created a business within a business — the highs, the mistakes, and the reality behind the glossy LinkedIn posts. We also tackle the uncomfortable truth about why so many brokers fail, and what separates the ones who last from the ones who vanish. If you’re thinking about going self-employed or creating your own brokerage model, listen to this before you jump. It’s honest, practical and might just change how you see the game.

• Charlie Lamdin: The Reluctant Know-It-All and His Fight to Fix Estate Agency

  Charlie Lamdin is one of the industry’s most outspoken outsiders — a man who’s never sold a house, yet has spent 25 years studying the people who do. Founder of BestAgent, self-taught “wannabe world-changer,” and serial survivor of business bruises, Charlie’s mission is bold: to tear down the barriers that keep agency unfair and rebuild it around trust, transparency, and process. In this episode, we dig into his philosophy of “talk process, not price,” why he thinks the industry’s obsession with competition is killing service, and how failure and frustration shaped his determination to change it. Whether you agree with him or not, Charlie will make you think differently about what estate agency could be.

• AI Won’t Replace Agents—But It Will Create Super Agents

  This week on The Utterly Indispensable Podcast for Estate Agents I sit down with Morgan Edmondson of Nesti, the London-based startup building one of the most advanced AI platforms for estate and letting agents. Morgan gives us a clear-eyed look at what AI can really do for estate agency today—and where it’s heading tomorrow. This isn’t about robots taking jobs. It’s about the smartest agents using AI as rocket fuel to become faster, sharper, and more valuable than ever. We explore why AI adoption will be a sprint, not a marathon, how smaller, agile agencies can seize an edge over slower-moving corporates, and why this moment feels like the social media revolution all over again—only accelerated. If you’ve been wondering whether AI is hype or the real deal for your agency, this episode will give you the insight you need to decide whether you’ll be left behind—or leap ahead.
