EP063 - Mateo Cave | "Why Most Agents Fail After Survey – And How to Fix It"
Description
What if we stopped treating surveys as an afterthought?
Had the privilege of sitting down with Mateo Cave, an emerging force in UK property surveying.
In our latest Zero BS Estate Agency podcast, we unpacked something crucial (and all too often ignored):
The condition of the property is the product.
So why are so many agents clueless about it?
Matteo didn't hold back:
✔️ Lack of agent training around condition
✔️ Retrofits that ruin Victorian homes
✔️ The hidden cost of buyer's remorse
✔️ Why pre-listing surveys could save us all time, stress, and thousands in fall-throughs
He's 20. Just twenty!
Yet his vision for transparency, tech-driven solutions, and informed decisions is years ahead of where our industry is stuck.
We talked lofts with no building regs, patchwork repairs, and how opinion overload (mum, dad, Terry down the pub) derails deals.
Matteo's message?
Surveyors and agents aren't on opposing teams.
We're both here to help people make smarter decisions with what's often their biggest financial commitment.
If you're an agent who gives a damn about standards, listen to this one.
