Rob

Graves

I’ve spent most of my career in estate agency—from starting at the bottom in the mid-1980s to running my own multi-branch business with a seven-figure turnover.

I worked my way up through the ranks, eventually becoming an Area Director in London, overseeing 17 branches for a major corporate agency. That role gave me deep insight into how estate agencies operate at scale, how to lead teams, and what truly separates successful businesses from struggling ones.

But I wasn’t content with just managing branches—I wanted to build something of my own.

So, I did what many estate agents dream of: I started my own agency from my dining room table.

Through hard work, strategy, and relentless execution, I scaled it into a multi-branch business with a seven-figure turnover. I also acquired and integrated three businesses along the way.

But let’s be clear—I made mistakes. A lot of them.

I ran into the same problems that trip up most estate agents when they start their own business. I was too involved in the day-to-day, too reactive, and too focused on selling houses rather than building a business.

The difference? I learned from those mistakes. I figured out what worked, what didn’t, and—more importantly—how to fix it.

Why I Do What I Do

After years of growing my own business, I saw the same pattern repeat itself: great estate agents launching their own agencies—only to struggle because running a business is a completely different skill set.

Because here’s the truth: being a great agent doesn’t automatically make you a great business owner.

That’s why I founded KEYCOACHING —to help estate agents make the shift from agent to entrepreneur.

I don’t just sell courses or provide generic advice. I work with ambitious estate agents who want to:

✓ Build businesses that work for them—not ones they are trapped in
âś“ Increase profitability and long-term business value
âś“ Create systems and processes that drive long-term success
âś“ Lead their agency with confidence, instead of constantly firefighting
