In this episode of Zero B.S. Estate Agency, I sit down with my mentor and coach, Jason Cannon, to talk about something that’s probably holding you back right now—your mindset and communication.

A lot of agents think their biggest challenge is the market, their competition, or lead generation. But the truth? Most agents sabotage themselves before they even walk into a valuation.

Jason and I get into the inner dialogue that’s wrecking your confidence, the communication mistakes that cost you instructions, and how to shift from doubting yourself to dominating your market.

I also share a simple but game-changing analogy that won me an instruction instantly—something you can use on your next appointment.

If you’re an estate agent looking to level up your game, this episode is an absolute must. I sat down with James Hughes, a seasoned pro who’s been through it all – from Foxtons to CBRE and now smashing it with eXp. We cut through the fluff and get straight into what actually drives results in this industry.

Here’s what we cover:

🔹 The #1 factor that maximises a seller’s price – and no, it’s not just about pricing or presentation. James explains why the agent is the real difference-maker.

🔹 Why most agents get pricing completely wrong – and how to use competition, data, and market dynamics to drive offers up (instead of overpricing and slashing later).

🔹 How to build trust and authority fast – from leveraging social proof to using social media the right way to win listings without cold calling.

🔹 The high-street model is dying – James shares why traditional agencies are losing their best talent to the self-employed model, and why those who don’t adapt will struggle.

🔹 Scaling your agency beyond just selling houses – how James built a business, not just a job, through revenue share, equity, and smart systems.

It’s About Layers, Not Miracles

When asked how to maximise a property’s value, Matt debunked the myth of a single magic solution. “It’s layers of lots of things,” he explained, emphasising the importance of choosing the right agent—someone who combines data-driven strategies with a clear understanding of market dynamics.

Challenges and Rewards

Matt addressed the rise of self-employed agents, praising the opportunity for business ownership but cautioning about the challenges of building from scratch. He also championed the importance of relationships, advising agents to seek clients who value their expertise and integrity.

Reputation Over Quick Wins

Matt’s golden rule is simple: “Chase your reputation, and the money will follow.” His commitment to doing the right thing—rather than chasing fast cash—has shaped his career and inspired agents across the industry.

For anyone in estate agency, Matt’s message is clear: professionalism, persistence, and authenticity are the keys to success.
