It is well known that the traditional role of the Estate Agent is vanishing, and James Turford is one of those embracing this change. James is one of the co-founders of Nested, an estate agency with a difference - as well as selling the property, they will give the vendor a sizeable advance to allow them to proceed with a purchase when they are stuck in a chain. To do this, James and his team have developed innovative software to value properties, and market the property to the right buyers. In this episode we discuss the pressures and thrills of working in a startup, the potential for prop-tech to disrupt the property industry, and why buy mum doesn’t think Nested is a good idea. 

Today’s guest is Nicole Bremner, director of East Eight - a boutique development company specialising in high quality, design-led homes. However, this introduction does not fully describe Nicole - she is also an entrepreneur, author, mother, and a pioneer in the power of social media to scale up a property business. In this podcast we cover all of these topics and more, including our first  meeting on a yacht in Cannes, the future of crowd-funding, and how her plans for world domination are constantly evolving. 

With guest Rob Bould, the vice chairman of LandAid, a charity with the aim of ending youth homelessness. We focus on Rob being somewhat of a disrupter in the property market and discuss the companies he's involved with which are using technology to transform the property sector.
