Description

In this second episode with Matt Baldock, we dig into one of the property industry’s biggest failings - overvaluing.


From unrealistic pricing to pressure-driven targets, Matt explains how chasing numbers over people can cause chaos for buyers, sellers and agents alike, and what needs to change to fix it.

 

In this episode:

  • Why overpricing property damages real lives, not just sales figures.
  • How short-term targets and incentives fuel bad behaviour.
  • The case for honest advice and transparent communication.
  • Could 28-day contracts stop chronic overvaluing?
  • Why positive leadership and shared standards matter more than regulation.

 

Guest:
Matt Baldock - estate agency leader, mentor and long-time champion ofpeople-first property.
