James Turford - Tech that disrupts the property industry

It is well known that the traditional role of the Estate Agent is vanishing, and James Turford is one of those embracing this change. James is one of the co-founders of Nested, an estate agency with a difference - as well as selling the property, they will give the vendor a sizeable advance to allow them to proceed with a purchase when they are stuck in a chain. To do this, James and his team have developed innovative software to value properties, and market the property to the right buyers. In this episode we discuss the pressures and thrills of working in a startup, the potential for prop-tech to disrupt the property industry, and why buy mum doesn’t think Nested is a good idea.
