Employed UK Estate Agents are spoilt for choice these days should they decide to become Self Employed.   

There are models galore to chose from and of course you could fly completely solo.

Some Self Employed models insist you have Estate Agency experience.  Others will welcome you on board with zero Estate Agency experience - as long as you pay them the monthly fee of course.

Unethical in my view.

But now that I've proved I can run my own Estate Agency, do I still need EXP?
