1,000 Property Deals Later… Here’s What Nobody Tells You

Jonathan Rolande has bought, sold, flipped and rescued more than 1,000 properties. He’s seen the market at its best, its worst, and at times, completely lose its mind.

In this episode, we go deep into what really happens behind the headlines. From nightmare cottages in Norfolk with wells in the kitchen, to problem tenants, structural disasters, property investment, AI, institutional landlords, and why the future of estate agency could look very different to what most agents expect.

Jonathan also shares his thoughts on:

• Why the “impossible” properties are often where the opportunity sits
  • The reality of landlords leaving the market
  • Why big corporations buying thousands of homes should make agents pay attention
  • How AI could massively reduce costs in estate agency
  • Whether people will eventually choose robots over estate agents
  • Why property management portfolios are becoming more valuable than ever
  • The hidden difference between transactional business and genuinely helping people move home

There’s plenty of humour in this one, but also some very sharp thinking about where the property market and estate agency industry are heading next.

Jonathan has spent decades inside the industry, from running an estate agency through the crashes and booms, to becoming one of the UK’s most recognisable property commentators across TV, newspapers and radio.

If you work in property, there’s a lot in this conversation that will make you stop and think.
