Adam Day Nearly Said No to eXp
Most people think Adam Day spotted eXp, jumped straight in and never looked back.
The truth is very different.
In this episode, Adam reveals how he nearly walked away from eXp before it ever launched in the UK. The Americans wanted one thing. Adam wanted another. At one point the whole deal was on the verge of collapsing.
It's a fascinating insight into one of the biggest success stories in modern estate agency and a reminder that even the opportunities that look obvious in hindsight rarely feel obvious at the time.
We also dive into Adam's journey from leaving school with four GCSEs, through building one of the UK's first online estate agencies, selling Hatched to Connells, and helping turn eXp UK into the largest estate agency brand in the country.
Along the way we discuss:
- Why school results don't define your future
• The lessons learned from building and selling businesses
• Why community has been central to eXp's growth
• The truth about revenue share and agent attraction
• AI, automation and whether estate agency is really safe from disruption
• The future of self-employed agency in the UK
And somewhere along the way Adam developed a cough so fierce that the podcast came to an abrupt end. By the final few minutes I was genuinely concerned I'd become known as the man who killed Adam Day during a podcast recording.
Thankfully he survived.
This is a brilliant conversation about entrepreneurship, innovation, risk, opportunity and why some people seem able to spot the future before everyone else.
