Did you know estate agents consistently rank among the top five most disliked professions? Steph Vass, a visionary entrepreneur with over two decades in the property industry, is fiercely determined to change this perception across the UK. Starting her career in her family’s Liverpool agency after a brief foray into music, Vass quickly developed an unparalleled passion for real estate. Her groundbreaking venture, The Agency UK (TAUK), launched in 2020, empowers experienced local agents to operate their own businesses, fostering a highly personalized service model long overdue in the market. This innovative platform, now boasting around 250 self-employed agents, aims to cut traditional overheads while enhancing client experience through dedicated, “handholding” support. Vass leveraged her extensive experience, including scaling Purplebricks and heading US recruitment, to identify the need for a more human-centric approach. She believes this self-employed, relationship-focused model will restore credibility and trust in the profession. Her journey from a summer job to transforming an entire industry is nothing short of inspiring.
