Estate Agents’ Cashflow Crisis: How to Get Paid Faster & More Often

Are your agency's finances being strangled by long transaction times and fall-throughs?

You're not alone: 53% of listings don't sell, and agents wait an average of 19 weeks to get paid.

Estate agents are working harder than ever, but delays and lost sales mean they're waiting months and months to see their commission.

This webinar will give you real, practical strategies to fix that.
‍
Learn how to:

• Instruct solicitors before a sale to cut transaction times (and get vendor buy-in)
• Use reservation agreements to reduce fall-throughs to single-digit percentages (from the 24.2% national average)
• Take upfront fees with a blended model for immediate income
• Improve sales progression to speed up completion
• Explore the self-employed model and its financial advantages

If you can’t make it live, register anyway, and we’ll send you the full video recording a couple of days later.
