New estate agent consultancy launches
Chris Webb, an experienced estate agent, has launched a new estate agent consultancy business, where he will be providing guidance to estate agents on how to grow their businesses, increasing listing number, sales, fees, plus other potential benefits.
Webb, who spent the last five years overseeing 70 EweMove Franchisees at The Property Franchise Group, says that he can help agents grow their businesses through proven structures, processes and lead generation techniques. This, according to Webb, involves assessing where their business is today, understanding their business goals and aspirations.
Webb says that his new business will help agents put a detailed programme in place to boost their business productivity and overall results, with regular coaching and refinement meetings to ensure the business is headed towards their ultimate business goal
He said: “Having worked in estate agency franchises for most of my career, I’ve always loved the aligned goals this structure brings, with everyone pulling in the same direction. I have tried to reflect this in The Estate Agent Consultancy where if a clients business doesn’t grow then there is nothing to pay, you only pay for tangible results.”

Dennison will team up with former colleague, Daniel Rigg, who is head of Country Estates at North Residential.

Dennison said: “There is an interesting dynamic in the team and its individual approach that is new and exciting and this has given me great confidence in aligning my own reputation with its future.”
