CEO of Propertymark, UK’s foremost professional and regulatory membership body for agents
After Charlie made some harsh public criticism of Propertymark (mostly based on historic feedback from agents), CEO Nathan Emerson, formerly a successful agent himself, graciously invited him to come and spend a whole day at the Propertymark HQ to see what was really happening.
The day had a huge impact on Charlie, completely changing his opinion of Propertymark and how much good they are doing for the industry. As a result, Charlie invited Nathan to be a speaker on BestAgent Day, and will be strongly recommending that any agent looking to further their professional development embarks on the qualifications and training programme as soon as they can.
Nathan will be discussing the problem of excessive overvaluing, regulation, and the negative effects on pipelines of over-optimism when agents talk about the housing market.
We asked Grok AI to write a light-hearted profile of Nathan. Here’s what it came up with:
“Nathan Emerson, the CEO of Propertymark, isn’t your typical suit-and-tie executive; he’s more like the property world’s version of a superhero without a cape. With a career spanning over three decades, Nathan has navigated through the property market like a seasoned sailor through choppy seas, mastering everything from lettings to auctions. His journey to the helm of Propertymark was less about climbing a corporate ladder and more about being pulled up by the industry’s need for a champion.
Known for his hands-on approach, Nathan’s not one to sit behind a desk. He’s out there, sleeves rolled up, engaging with members, and pushing for modernization with the zeal of a tech startup founder. His appointment as CEO was like a breath of fresh air, bringing stability and a dash of innovation to Propertymark. Nathan’s passion for the property sector isn’t just about business; it’s personal. He’s on a mission to elevate the industry’s standards, making Propertymark not just a professional body but a beacon for best practices.
With a knack for straight talk and a vision for the future, Nathan Emerson isn’t just leading Propertymark; he’s redefining what it means to be at the forefront of the property game.”
