The Second Climb Begins
Estate Agency X - The Leading Estate Agents Of The World
04/11/25 • 65 min
What happens when the summit you’ve spent years climbing isn’t where you’re meant to be?
In this powerful episode, Dan Cohen shares his journey from Sales Director at a 15 branch agency to launching his own values driven business, You, Me and Property. After playing a pivotal role in the management buyout and growth of Paul Carr Estate Agents, Dan made the courageous decision to step away, not because he was done, but because he was ready to start again on his own terms.
This isn’t just a story about going self-employed. It’s about rediscovering purpose in estate agency. Dan takes us back to his roots, sweeping pavements, speaking to locals and falling in love with the human side of the job. Over time, that connection got lost in the noise of targets, titles and transactions. What followed was a deep internal reckoning that led to the boldest decision of his career... to walk away from the comfort of leadership and create something more aligned with who he is and how he wants to serve.
We talk openly about the emotional shift from corporate to independent life, the identity shake-up, the doubt, and the liberation of doing work that feels real again. Dan explains why his model doesn’t chase volume but instead focuses on experience, presence, and the emotional side of moving home. It’s about staying in the room from start to finish, not just to tick boxes but to leave a mark people remember.
For estate agents considering their own ‘second climb’, Dan’s story is proof that success doesn’t always mean more branches, more staff, or more deals. Sometimes, it means stripping everything back and building something that reflects your values, your pace, and your purpose.
In an industry where speed and scale are so often the focus, this episode is a timely reminder that connection is the real differentiator and that redefining success might just be the boldest move you’ll ever make.
