She Sold Her Estate Agency. So Why Did She Start Again?

After 35 years in estate agency, Angi Cooney has built a successful business, survived some of the toughest markets the industry has seen, sold both its lettings and sales divisions and supposedly retired.

So, naturally, she started another lettings business and launched a podcast.

In this episode, Angi shares how personal loss changed the direction of her life, why she started C Residential with little more than a name, a logo and an unshakeable belief that it would succeed, and how she built a business known for exceptional service and strong fees.

We also discuss the realities of running an estate agency, the value of lettings, knowing when it is time to sell and the disappointment that people can sometimes bring when you own a business.

Angi also gives her characteristically forthright view on self-employed estate agency, the importance of proper training and support, and why networking transformed her career in her fifties.

Today, through her “Now What?” podcast, Angi is creating space for honest conversations about the moments when life changes and we are forced to ask what comes next.

This is a wonderfully candid conversation about business, reinvention, failure and refusing to sit back later in life wondering what might have happened if you had simply given it a go.
