Two estate agents on the Sussex coast have taken the leap to the self-employed agency model.

Two experienced agents giving up the security of established local offices to take up the promise of better working hours and oodles of cash as we head into one of the biggest recessions in history.
Brave or naive …. Time will tell, i hope it works out for them but sadly i think we all know the end result.
Always a danger under a lame duck administration (Countrywide) that some of the heavyweights like Peter Everett becoming impatient and leave to pastures new.
Hamptons outside London have picked up considerably since the easing of lockdown . Hamptons also lost 2 ladies from their Bath office .
Now time for Long & Creffield to get the succession in place before the slow drip of escaping talent becomes a torrent.

Good luck to the new KW recruits. KW have been slow to conquer the UK .
Hopefully they have better success than Purplebricks had with trying to conquer the USA .However there again they were not blessed with the PR skillsets of Headphones Quirk.
