EA Masters hits the road with agency masterplan

The team behind the Best Estate Agent Guide is set to host an inaugural series of roadshows.

The EA Masters team is hitting the road next month to host invitation-only events in Edinburgh, Leeds, Northampton, Cardiff and Southampton as they launch their Estate Agency Masterplan business workshop.

The event includes short seminars presented by Property Academy, a presentation from principal partner OnTheMarket as well the opportunity to discover how the EA Masterplan can make a difference to their business.

As part of the roadshows, invited guests at each event will find out how they performed in this year’s Best Estate Agent Guide.

Peter Knight, founder of The Best Estate Agent Guide, said: “Estate agency is unrecognisable from 10, five, even three years ago, and it’s still changing at an ever-faster pace.

“Agencies are under pressure like never before. Customers expect a 24/7 service, there is new competition opening every week with different business models, and they’re managing increased regulation and compliance requirements, all of which add cost. Not only that but reduced transaction numbers, increased wage demands, and spiralling costs mean this might just be the most testing period estate agency owners have ever faced

“To compete, grow and make a decent profit, you need to ensure your business plan is right for this market because the old ways aren’t delivering enough; they don’t work as well. 

“It’s like going on a car journey today with only a map from the 1970’s to guide you – agents need a new business plan, they need the estate agency masterplan - and we’re delivering just that at the roadshows.

“Estate agents attending the regional events next month will be able to create their own Masterplan and personalise it for their business, using their choice of business model, and market.

“The EA Masterplan will help guide agencies through this turbulent period, so they emerge in a much better place, with their business protected and able to profitably grow.

“Thanks to our sponsors, tickets to the roadshows are free however places are limited to just 100 at each venue so you must register as soon as you receive your invite to have a chance of securing your place. We have hired some fantastic venues and are very looking forward to meeting everyone for celebration and learning.”

The dates and venues for the roadshows are:

Tuesday, 13 June – InterContinental The George, Edinburgh
Wednesday, 14 June – Aspire, Leeds
Thursday, 15 June – Silverstone Circuit, Northampton
