In this episode of The Complete Agent Podcast, James Kendall and Ian Storey reflect on a strong week in agency and a hugely positive TCA Mastermind in Manchester. They discuss standout listing activity, the impact of consistent direct mail, and why premium positioning continues to attract better instructions, better fees and stronger clients.
A big part of the conversation centres around culture, leadership and autonomy within an estate agency business. James and Ian unpack what makes a team thrive, why difficult conversations matter, and how the standard you tolerate eventually becomes your culture. They also reflect on the growth of TCA members, with some significantly increasing fees and shifting to much higher average price points.
The episode finishes with a brilliant analogy around hotels and service levels, exploring how agents should think about whether their business feels like a budget stay or a premium experience. The wider point is clear. Better fees do not come from asking for more. They come from consistently delivering more at every touchpoint.
