Agency membership body teams up with Marvellous industry trainer

The Federation of Independent Agents (FIA) members are to be given access to exclusive training schemes from industry expert Julian O’Dell.

The network has launched a new partnership with O’Dell’s Marvellous Training Solutions, which provides online estate agency and lettings training and consultancy support.

Graham Lock, founder of the FIA said “There are a multitude of subjects that agents can improve on in any market but given the signals, next year could be particularly challenging so I want to make sure our members have what they need at their fingertips and benefit from our strategic commercial partnership. 

“Having spoken to Julian at length and researched that market I believe Marvellous Training Solutions to be a great fit for The FIA.”

Founder of Marvellous, O’Dell is also going to be presenting a keynote speech at the annual FIACON event in December.

He said: “I am very excited to be linking up with the FIA which is an industry group I have admired for some time and which fits in with my ethos and standards as to how estate agency should be conducted.

“The FIA member agents who are existing clients of mine share an appetite for improvement in skills and approaches, reflected by an ongoing investment in our training programmes. In short, they seem to be great agents seeking to become greater.

“I’m looking forward to working with the wider FIA network in coming months to help equip them to come through challenging times in even better shape in terms of market share and results.”
