The Experts Group has launched a new self-employed model for commercial property agents, following the recent appointment of Jayne Kerfoot, previously at Strike, to lead the group’s expansion plan.
Sean Newman (pictured), founder and CEO of The Experts Group, said: “The commercial property industry is broken and we’re here to fix it. The sector hasn’t changed in decades.
“Traditional High St agencies are weighed down by expensive offices, layers of management and an outdated commission structure that short-changes their best agents.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 offers agents 70% of the fee and the flexibility to work whenever and wherever they choose, similar to other group members like The Property Experts, The Letting Experts, and The Mortgage Experts.
The new company will provide agents with training, marketing, technology, systems, and processes.
Newman said that the prospect of higher earnings is expected to attract top talent in the industry.
Newman added: “Our mission is to raise standards in the sector by providing a much-improved service to clients.”
Steve Bell, managing director of The Commercial Property Experts, said: “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.”
