The new YOUhome Property Gurus agency has announced another key hire to strengthen its central London activities.

The agency, set up by Adrian Black, offers its so-called ‘Property Gurus’ a salary, commission, administration support, marketing support and access to PlatformYOU, which provides up to the minute aggregated market data and supports vendor management.

Now it’s revealed that it has appointed Chris Shaw to cover the Notting Hill and Bayswater area – Shaw has spent seven years at boutique agency Domus Nova and was previously head of sales for Hamptons International at its Hyde Park office.

YOUhome chief operating officer Laurence Lai says Shaw’s move to the new agency “reflects a seismic shift in the industry where good estate agents can enjoy the freedom to express themselves, provide a better service to their clients, take higher commissions and work flexibly whilst having the platform and resources.”

YOUhome Property Gurus became fully operational in London in 2017 and claims to have the most experienced sales team in London, with their least experienced guru having 12 years in the business and their most 30 years.

Collectively the agency’s sales team has sold almost 5,000 Prime and outer Prime London properties.
