Episode 134: Ian Preston

Today's guest wheres many hats, some of which are as Chairman of Preston Baker, and as director of Greenhouse OS. He supports the CEO of Preston Baker in the national growth of their associate model and hopes to change the lives of hundreds of agents across the UK who will in turn help clients move home with a better level of service from their agent and for a better price. Having converted his estate agency into a self-employed model, he now offers help to other agency owners who are thinking about making this move. His latest venture is to work with Greenhouse OS which is a platform for agents to grow their business through the adoption of automation and AI. A change is coming and the pace of change is about to get faster. There is so much gold to be had from this episode and lots of outside of the box thinking to consider. This conversation will leave you wanting more with the energy of my guest being so infectious.
