The Agency UK has welcomed another partner to its growing nationwide team of self-employed estate agents.

Stacey Warwick, (main picture) who operates near Southend in Essex, joins along with her team from Keller Williams.

Warwick has been in estate agency for over 10 years working for brands such as Connells and Haart. In 2020, just before the Covid pandemic, she took the leap from traditional agency to being self-employed.

She says: “As well as benefiting from greater flexibility, I wanted the freedom to look after the sales progression of my existing listings rather than being pushed to move onto the next. Despite a challenging start, it was the right decision.”

The Agency UK has also welcomed Debbie Whitehead from Keller Williams in County Durham and Katrina Nicholson from Keller Williams in Cumbria. The company has recently launched in North Wales, Milton Keynes, Hampshire, and expanded their areas in Merseyside, Norfolk, and the Isle of Wight.

On the road

The Agency UK is hosting a roadshow (dates below) to meet other individuals thinking about starting their own estate agency business in 2023, as well as existing independent estate agency owners.

Steph Walker, COO of The Agency UK, says: “As the industry heads into an undoubtedly tougher market, more independent agents will be looking for ways to consolidate their outgoings and lower their overheads.

“As well as tremendous backing and support, we’re giving self-employed agents the ability to sell lower volumes of homes, but earn more commission for themselves from each sale, giving them more time to concentrate on better quality customer service.”
