Have you ever wondered what self-employed estate agency actually looks like?
Self-Employed Estate Agent | London
Not actively looking? That's exactly who we'd like to speak to.
The most interesting conversations we're having right now aren't with agents applying for jobs.
They're with experienced sales professionals who are simply curious.
- Curious about whether they could earn more.
- Curious about how self-employed models actually work.
- Curious about whether there's another way to build a successful career without sacrificing the support of an established business.
For years, self-employed estate agency meant doing everything yourself.
- Finding your own leads.
- Building your own brand.
- Generating every valuation.
- Managing every aspect of the business alone.
It's no surprise many experienced agents never seriously considered it.
But the market has evolved.
We're representing one of London's most established residential estate agencies, which has developed a self-employed model designed for experienced agents who want the freedom and earning potential of running their own business, whilst benefiting from the backing, infrastructure and opportunities of an established agency.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
