Send us a text
In this week's episode of The Elite Agent Masterclass, Holly sits down with Graham Howell; estate agency veteran, mentor, and now self-employed partner agent at The Avenue Estate Agents. From corporate beginnings at Connells to regional training at Purplebricks and Yopa, Graham has lived and breathed agency for over 20 years. Now, he’s building a business rooted in local community, family values, and relationship-first agency.
They explore the real journey behind self-employment: the freedom, the pressure, the mental game, and the honest realities no one talks about on LinkedIn. Graham shares his experience of launching his self-employed business just weeks before the COVID-19 lockdown, why personal brand and process matter more than ever, and what most agents get wrong when they transition from employed to self-employed.
Topics covered include:
– The difference between great agents and great business owners
– Mentoring with meaning and the importance of lived experience
– How self-employed agents can protect their energy and build relationships that last
– Building a brand that reflects who you are, not who you think you should be
– Why more training doesn’t always mean better training
– What Graham learned from the tough moments and how they shaped his values
– The truth about support, accountability and what makes a brokerage model work
Graham also reflects on working with the co-founders of The Avenue and the camaraderie and connection that define the network. With heartfelt stories, a touch of humour, and real insight, this episode is a must-watch for anyone in the estate agency space, especially those considering a leap into self-employment.
