No offices. No suits. No scripts. Just standout results, local leadership, and a system that lets agents earn more by being more of themselves.Launched with borrowed time and big belief days before the UK’s first lockdown, Avocado has since grown into a network of over 30 self-employed agents, many earning six figures, some hitting £600k+ a year, with less stress and more autonomy than traditional agency ownership ever allowed.But this isn’t a story about revenue. It’s a blueprint for relevance.Ian and Mike didn’t tweak the rules. They broke them. From ditching corporate lingo and paper leaflets to prioritising personal brand and digital-first marketing, they built a model that reflects how modern buyers behave and what ambitious agents actually want.You’ll hear how they:Built one of the UK’s most followed and respected agency brands from scratchStructured a business that empowers agents to lead locally with national-level strategyUse content, tech and storytelling to put homes in front of real buyers—not just portalsTurned property sales into a fun, community-first experienceCreated a leadership philosophy that challenges the tired, copy-paste agency normIf you’re a business owner and leader who knows you’re capable of more but feel held back by a system that no longer fits, you need to hear this.This isn’t just about Avocado.It’s about what’s next for you.Sponsors of this podcast, Iceberg Digital are setting the standard in a world full of PropTech noise and AI buzzwords.
