The agencies that hold onto their best people do not leave retention to chance.

They build environments where progression is visible, development is consistent, and people feel genuinely valued before they start looking elsewhere.

Mid-year is the right time to ask whether your team feels that investment.

What actually drives stress in estate agency? šŸ‘‡

We explored this through a blind ranking exercise with Myles.

The results were telling:
• Sales falling through late ranked as the biggest stress factor
• Unrealistic targets followed closely behind
• Leadership and staffing challenges sat in the middle
• Difficult clients ranked lowest

The reasoning?
Experienced agents expect challenging clients.
They’re part of the role.

However, late-stage deal failures represent lost time, lost effort, and lost momentum, making them significantly more impactful.

It reinforces an important point:
While perspectives may vary, certain stress triggers are consistent across the industry.

What do you see as the biggest driver of stress in your business today? šŸ¤”

The agencies with the strongest retention are not always the ones paying the most. They are the ones where leadership invests in people consistently, with clear progression, honest conversations, and genuine development built into how the business runs.

Culture is a leadership decision. So is retention.

Commission might attract people… but it won’t keep them. āš ļø

There’s a belief in this industry that money is the main driver.

ā€œOffer more commission and people will stay.ā€
But reality tells a different story.

People leave well-paid roles all the time.
Not because of money.
Because of the environment.

Unclear expectations āŒ
Inconsistent support āš ļø
Unstable leadership 🧩
No real sense of progression šŸ“‰

That’s what drives people out.
And when culture is off, commission doesn’t solve it.
It just buys time.

If you want retention, focus on what people experience every day.
Not just what they earn at the end of the month.

Because culture isn’t soft.
It’s strategic.

What’s the biggest reason you’ve seen people leave a role? šŸ¤”

Leasehold transactions can still feel more complicated than they need to be, especially with more changes expected over the coming months.

To help agents and clients make sense of it all, Complete ASAP has created a straightforward factsheet covering the key differences between leasehold and freehold, common causes of delays, and the latest changes agents should be aware of.

Find the factsheet herehttps://completeasap.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Leasehold-vs-Freehold-Factsheet.pdf

Complete ASAP have also recently shared interesting insight around communication in conveyancing and why more portals alone won’t fix delays in the home moving process. Head over to their website to explore the latest articles and insights.

Working with your dad… dream or disaster? šŸ‘€

If I’m honest?
It’s intense.
But I wouldn’t change it for the world.

There’s pressure, of course.
Daily check-ins šŸ“ž
High standards
No hiding from results

But alongside that…
There’s learning you just can’t put a price on.

Work ethic šŸ’¼
Honesty šŸ¤
Doing things properly, even when it’s harder

That’s the biggest thing I’ve taken from it.

In an industry where it’s easy to say what people want to hear…being honest stands out.

And ironically, it leads to better outcomes.
Better salaries.
Better roles.
Better relationships.

It’s not always easy working with family.
But when you get it right… it’s powerful.

Would you work with a family member… or keep business and family separate? šŸ‘‡

Leeds fans… this one’s for you. āš½šŸ‘€

We’re back with another Leeds United quiz… and this one had everything šŸ˜…

Big moments.
Big players.
And a few answers that didn’t quite land…

Beckford at Old Trafford? āœ”ļø
AC Milan at Elland Road? āœ”ļø
Bielsa bringing Leeds back up? āœ”ļø

Then it got a bit… questionable šŸ˜‚
Because when you’re put on the spot, even the obvious ones aren’t always that obvious.

But that’s football.
It’s memory.
Emotion.
And a bit of chaos under pressure.

Especially when Leeds are involved.

How many of these would you have got right without thinking twice? šŸ‘‡

It’s easy to stay busy without feeling like you’re moving forward.

The agents who build strong careers are clear on what comes next and focus on the things that make a real difference.

They keep developing the right skills and take consistent action over time.

That’s what creates progress, and progress builds confidence.

They looked perfect on paper… and it still didn’t work. šŸ‘€

Great CV, Strong experience, Ticks every box and yet… it falls apart.

Because most hiring failures aren’t about capability.
They’re about fit.

Too often, recruitment gets rushed. ā±ļø
Culture is assumed.
And short-term pressure overrides long-term thinking.

The result?
It doesn’t just cost money šŸ’ø
It costs morale.
It impacts trust.
And it slows momentum.

Better hiring isn’t about moving faster.
It’s about slowing down.

Understanding the environment 🧠
Being honest about the role
And hiring for where you’re going… not just where you are šŸ“ˆ

Because recruitment isn’t a transaction.
It’s a people decision.

What’s been the biggest hiring mistake you’ve seen or experienced? šŸ‘‡
