How BestAgent fixes the UK Housing Market - Summer 2026

"Move People", BestAgent's mantra. People only move when there's a completed transaction, thus completed transactions are BestAgent's north star and guide everything we do. We're not here for buyers, sellers or agents, we're here for transactions because they benefit all of the above. BestAgent is a housing transaction marketplace whose sole aim is shorter transactions and fewer fall throughs.

A summary of the "No Valuations" process of selling homes in 21 days.

Talk process, not prices. Sell everything faster, for more. Watch the video of this podcast here: https://youtube.com/live/9sSN9nqPsXA Strategy: Transparency Tactic: No Valuations What: Sell everything in under 28 days, exchange in under 90, decimate fall throughs. Create non-stop inbound opportunities. Why: You’ll earn far more, with less stress. Sellers will pay higher fees for faster sales and higher certainty. Everyone wins. How: 1. Ensure all conditions for a fast exchange are met, right at the start of the process for every seller and buyer. Decline anyone who doesn’t qualify. 2. Eradicate all talk of house prices. Your job is to facilitate an individual market for each property, and let the market do its thing. Don’t interfere. 3. Stick to the process, remain transparent with everyone at all times. Trust breeds transactions. Once you have the results to prove you can deliver almost every time, no one can compete, no one can argue with your results. You can pick and choose your clients until your capacity is met. Sellers will gladly pay proper commissions for great results. Prove your product, then promote it persistently. It's a 9 Step Process.
