The Return: Property & Investment Podcast Co-Founder of Viewber - On-Demand Property Viewings
In this episode, Anna Clare Harper and Ed Mead FRICS discuss how traditional estate agency needs to evolve, and how property viewing service Viewber is shaking up the process of buying, selling and letting residential property through what has been described as ‘the Uber of property viewings’.
Ed is a high-profile former London agent with 37 years’ experience. He is also a Non-Executive Director of London estate agent Douglas & Gordon and The Property Ombudsman. He has built a profile as one of the industry’s leading commentators, from two BBC TV series to writing regularly for The Sunday Times and The Telegraph as a property and agency expert. So, he is incredibly qualified to discuss the industry and its pain points!
Episode highlights include:
- Ed’s inside view on what’s really happening in estate agency - from referral fees to the impacts of new regulations
- Red flags around traditional practices that are now driving innovation
- How the new ‘Amazonised’ generation of property buyers will demand change
- Why landlords are abandoning agents and seeking different ways to let and manage their properties
