Agents offered alternative to Budget Day with industry webinar
Agents offered alternative to Budget Day with webinar

Estate and letting agents who would rather not watch Chancellor John Healey's first Budget tomorrow have an alternative: a free industry webinar today at 12.30pm. The Estate Agent Consultancy (TEAC) is hosting Work Smarter, Win More Listings, a session where agents can put their business challenges to a panel of professionals.

Agenda shaped by agent questions

Rather than follow a fixed agenda, organisers are asking agents to submit their biggest business concerns when registering. Potential topics include winning more instructions without cutting commission, retaining landlords and improving business performance despite increasing workloads. The panel will also address questions covering sales, lettings, marketing, compliance and leadership.

TEAC founder Chris Webb will join Rachel Ollington, Ev Foster and Hannah McCartan for the session, hosted by trainer and speaker Toby Martin.

Panel experience

Webb has worked in estate agency for 20 years and written two books on growing agency businesses. Ollington previously built and sold a lettings agency in Essex; she is also a landlord, property investor and Propertymark ambassador. Foster is a former agency owner who spent more than six years as operating principal of Keller Williams Scotland. McCartan ran a Welsh lettings agency for 18 years, during which the business let more than 4,000 properties.

Webb said: “When you register, you tell us your biggest challenge or the question you’d most like answered, and we’ll build part of the session around what comes in.”

The webinar takes place on Zoom at 12.30pm and is free to attend, with registration available online.
