The 50-strong team operates a sales-led, branch-based go-to-market model with extended opening hours (8am–8pm, 7 days a week) and a free property valuation entry point. Revenue derives from a hybrid of transactional commissions, recurring management fees and referral income from financial services and legal partners.
