The two Russells, Russell Jervis and Russell Quirk, have just released the latest (15th) episode of their engaging podcast, which features Clare Hughes, a former territory owner at Purplebricks under Michael and Kenny Bruce when they first launched, and now the head of a successful eXp estate agency business.

Hughes, who is also the co-founders of the Women in Estate Agency Group, continues to thrive in the industry four years after surviving a life-threatening illness.

The London-based estate agent shares her inspirational story of recovering from a brain tumour, diagnosed in 2014, and going on to set-up an estate agency operation under the eXp UK umbrella as a self-employed operator.

“Obviously the rumours that Clare’s story made me cry are fabricated, outrageous and no one will believe them [will they?!]”, said Quirk.
