Listen "EP.5:No License. No Training. No Problem?"
Episode Synopsis
In this no-holds-barred episode, we tackle the uncomfortable truth: Anyone can sell your home no license, no qualifications, no accountability.
We break down exclusive survey data from The Voice of the Agent 2025, revealing that 4 in 5 agents and consumers want regulation… yet 17% of agents don’t want to be regulated or qualified at all.Russell Quirk and the panel expose why this matters not just for standards, but for trust, fees, and the future of the industry.
Topics covered:
Why estate agency is still the Wild West
The link between qualifications and higher fees
Why consumers expect more and aren’t getting it
Should unqualified agents be shut down?
Could better training finally raise the bar?
