Consultancy

Consultancy for estate agency owners who are ready for an honest conversation.

chart
Paul Broomham has spent nearly 30 years running estate agency networks from the inside.

Not advising them. Running them through growth phases, difficult periods, acquisitions, integrations and the moments when something is clearly not working but nobody inside the business can see why.

That is what he brings to every consultancy engagement. Not a methodology borrowed from another sector. Not a framework that sounds good in a presentation. Thirty years of having to make the same decisions you are facing now, and living with the consequences of getting them right or wrong.

He works with independent estate agency owners at an inflection point. Owners who want to grow, who need to understand what is holding their business back, or who are starting to think about what comes next. If any of those describe where you are, this is the right conversation to have.

What the consultancy covers

  • Growth strategy — identifying what is actually preventing growth and building a plan that addresses the real causes, not the symptoms
  • EBITDA improvement — understanding your numbers in the way a buyer or investor would, and improving the ones that matter
  • Operational diagnosis — finding the structural, process or people issues that are costing the business money or momentum without anyone quite being able to name them
  • Change management — navigating the human side of growth, restructure or acquisition, where most of the value is won or lost
  • Pre-sale preparation — getting a business into the shape that commands the best possible outcome, over a realistic timeframe

How it works

Every engagement begins with a 90-minute diagnostic session. Paul asks the questions most people inside the business are too close to ask; about the numbers, the structure, the team, the market position and what the owner actually wants the business to look like in three to five years.

Within five working days of that session, you receive a written summary of findings and a proposed scope of work. Specific, costed and time-bound. Not open-ended. You decide whether to proceed and if you do, you know exactly what you are committing to and what you will get from it.

For retained clients, Paul produces a monthly progress report covering what was worked on, what changed and what the focus is for the following month. No ambiguity about whether the engagement is delivering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Choose 2point0 Group?

Because I have been in your position. I have run these businesses, made these decisions and dealt with the consequences. I am not going to tell you what I think you want to hear, I am going to tell you what I actually think, based on what I can see in your numbers and your operation. If that sounds like the kind of conversation you want to have, we will get on well.


What specific areas of property business operations does your consultancy cover?

Growth strategy, EBITDA improvement, operational structure, change management and pre-sale preparation. In practice, most engagements start in one area and the work naturally touches several others because in an estate agency, everything is connected. The business does not exist in neat separate boxes and neither does the consultancy.


How does the initial diagnostic phase inform the subsequent consultancy work?

It tells me what is actually going on rather than what people think is going on. Most owners have a theory about where the problem is. Sometimes they are right. Often the diagnostic reveals something adjacent to that, a structural issue, a margin problem, a dependency on one or two people that nobody has properly named yet. The scope of work we agree after the diagnostic is based on what I find, not on a pre-packaged service.
