Dominic Murphy · The Estate Agency Consultant
Estate agency consultancy for independent owners. One day inside your business, five clear priorities and 90 days putting the plan into action.
Whether you’ve been running your agency for 12 months or many years, you want a business that rewards the work you put into it. More profit. A stronger team. Less reliance on you. And a clearer idea of what to do next.
Maybe revenue has stalled.
Maybe profit isn’t where it should be.
Maybe the team could perform better.
Maybe you’re simply too involved in everything.
I know what that feels like because I’ve lived it.
The evidence
Two very different growth engines, built at different stages of the business. Both created lessons I now bring into your agency.
Three years. 2018–2021.
An organic growth phase that transformed the agency and taught me what scaling really demands.
Built organically. No acquisitions.
Four years. 2021–2025.
We built a recurring revenue business through consistent year on year growth.
Built organically. Year after year.
Hiring. Leading. Accountability.
I’ve hired brilliantly and badly. The lesson? More people doesn’t mean a better business. The right people and clear expectations do.
Build a team that grows without you.
The good. The bad. The expensive.
I’ve built an agency from scratch and learned some costly lessons. I bring that experience into your business to help you make clearer decisions.
A bigger business should be a better business.
The reality of building an agency
2014 The early days
Valuations. Viewings. Phones. Marketing. Problems. And apparently the cleaning.
The growth years
People. Recruitment. Management. Systems. Costs. Competition. Bigger targets.
Perspective
I’ve made decisions I’d repeat tomorrow and plenty I wouldn’t. That is the experience I bring into your agency.
The Estate Agency Audit
A clear, practical process designed to find the opportunity and turn it into results.
The audit finds the opportunity. The next 90 days turn it into action.
We talk about the pains and strains in your business, what’s holding you back and what you want to change.
You send across your numbers so I can understand how your business is performing before we meet.
We start at your office and take a deep dive into the business, your team and how things actually work.
We identify what can be improved and agree five clear priorities, focusing on the changes that can make a difference over the next 90 days.
A practical plan that sets out what needs to happen, who is responsible and what we’re working towards.
Together, we put the plan into action, review progress, tackle obstacles and keep everyone accountable throughout the 90 days.
The report
A clear, practical and visual report with real insights, five priorities and a focused 90 day plan.

The Estate Agency Audit is a specialist 90 day programme focused on finding the opportunity and putting the plan into practice.
Revenue matters. What you keep and how the business runs matter too.
We focus on practical changes that improve performance and reduce the pressure on you.
This is for you if...
If you’re turning over £250k+, the foundations are already there.
The question is whether you’re getting enough from them.
Enough revenue? Enough profit? The right people? Enough time away from the day to day?
Or are you still the person fixing everything, chasing everyone and carrying too much of the business yourself?
I work with agency owners who know they should be further ahead than they are and are prepared to do something about it.
Sales. Lettings. People. Profit. Structure. Growth.
We find what’s holding the business back and get to work.
That gives me the time to get properly involved in each business, rather than spreading myself too thin.
If you know your agency could be performing better, sign up now and secure one of the available spaces.

Where opportunity usually sits
The biggest opportunities often sit inside the same people, processes, clients and data.
What would another 5% be worth?
What does another £250 per completion do annually?
How many future vendors and landlords are sitting untouched?
What would another 50 or 100 managed properties mean?
Are expensive people doing inexpensive work?
How much agreed fee income disappears every year?
What are you actually getting back?
What stops working when you stop working?
Your biggest opportunity might not be the one you’re looking for. That is precisely why I come in from outside.

A better business
There is a reason I wanted the business to work without me. A good agency should create value for its clients, its people and its owner.
I am not here to teach you estate agency. I am here to help you build a better one.
Questions
We establish where the business is now, audit the key areas, identify the opportunity and agree the five priorities most capable of making a difference. The rest of the programme turns those priorities into action.
No. It is designed for independent owners who have already built a good business but believe it could perform better.
Yes. Where applicable, I look across both sides of the business rather than treating them in isolation.
Yes. People and performance form part of the audit alongside the financial and operational areas of the business.
Yes. The work involves commercially sensitive information and the confidentiality commitment is agreed clearly before the programme begins.
Start with a conversation
Tell me about your agency. Tell me what is working, what is frustrating you and where you want to take it. I’ll ask a few questions and tell you honestly whether I think I can help.
I built an independent agency from a cold start, growing sales led revenue by 456% in three years and lettings revenue by 1,259% in four. I’ve made good decisions, bad decisions and plenty of expensive ones. Growing turnover taught me plenty. Building the team, managing costs and learning what actually improves the business taught me more.
Now I use that experience to get under the bonnet of your agency, work out what is holding it back and help you do something about it.
