New group sets out to “fix the broken” commercial property industry

A new group for commercial property agents has launched to “fix the broken commercial property industry.”

The Experts Group’s self-employed model, called The Commercial Property Experts, will provide agents with training, marketing, and technology.

The group aims to build a network of 100 experienced commercial property experts across the country.

Sector hasn’t changed in decades

Chief executive of The Experts Group, Sean Newman, said: “The commercial property industry is broken and we’re here to fix it.

“The sector hasn’t changed in decades. Traditional high Street agencies are weighed down by expensive offices, layers of management and an outdated commission structure that short-changes their best agents. Property owners are left frustrated at not getting the service they deserve.

“We knew there had to be a better way and that’s why we’ve created The Commercial Property Agents – reimagining how a modern agency should work for experienced agents and their clients.”

The model gives the commercial agent 70% of the fee and the opportunity to work from wherever they want, whenever they want, to suit their lifestyle.

Raise standards in the sector

Steve Bell, managing director of The Commercial Property Experts, added: “We’ve spoken to countless experienced agents who feel trapped in the current system, watching their hard work fill someone else’s pockets.

“And many property owners tell us they’re tired of chasing unresponsive agents, seeing their properties marketed half-heartedly and dealing with inexperienced negotiators who barely understand the market.”

Mr Newman believes the prospect of higher earnings will attract top talent in the industry.

He adds: “Our mission is to raise standards in the sector by providing a much-improved service to clients.”
