In this week’s episode of The Gavel Drops, Ray sits down with Mark Moffat, who has just completed his first year as a self-employed estate agent.

Mark opens up about the big leap from the “safety net” of a 9–5 into running his own business — sharing the reality of leaving long office hours behind to take back control of his time and family life.

You’ll hear:

🎤 Why Mark ended his podcast with a surprise karaoke moment

🏡 How an auction sale turned into a family holiday (in just 12 seconds!)

🐶 The hilarious story of the day he lost a seller’s dog mid-viewing

🚀 His advice for anyone on the edge of launching their own business

⭐ The strategies he uses to stand out — from personal branding to one-to-one client service

📱 His honest take on social media (and why he’s learning to embrace it)

This episode is packed with laughs, lessons, and the kind of honesty you rarely hear in property.
