Fine & Country will host its latest networking event later today, part of a Masterclass Series, to tap into the expertise of agents within the network.

The event, which will take place at The Bridge Hotel and Spa in Walshford, Leeds, aims to allow those working within the network to share knowledge and ideas that can further enhance an agent’s chances of success within the the property market.

Simon Leadbetter, global CEO of Fine & Country, said: “We have a wealth of expertise and experience within our network and the Masterclass Series is an opportunity for some of our leading agents to share their stories and strategies when it comes to successfully generating more leads, winning more listings and marketing high-end properties in a competitive market.”

The first instalment of the series was held in London on Tuesday, 17 May and saw over 50 agents attend.

Some of the speakers included experienced international speaker, coach, trainer and estate agent, Jon Handford, director at Fine & Country UK, and one of the leading agents in the West Midlands. He shared his ‘secret’ to consistently charging a 2.5% fee as well as an upfront marketing contribution.

Ed Casson and Simon Pelling, co-directors of Fine & Country South Essex shared their story on operating with the Fine & Country brand after building their business.

Director of Fine & Country Turnham Green Terrace, Ben Madden, discussed how he has built the Fine & Country brand against strong, established competition in an extremely competitive prime London market.

And lastly, Fine & Country UK business development manager, Gaven Swan, covered common objectives and how best to overcome these, ensuring more listings and business growth.

Nicky Stevenson, MD of Fine & Country UK, said: “I was delighted to be able to host the event for agents across the network, coming together to learn from established Fine & Country agents who have made significant headway within the premium sector of the market.

“We are grateful to have the calibre of agents we have within the network, agents who are willing to give back and make a contribution to the growth and development of the network as a whole.”
