Your guide to becoming a Partner at The Property Cloud
Being self-employed isn’t for everyone.
It comes with responsibility and risk. Not reckless risk, calculated risk. You need confidence in your ability, the discipline to work without being managed, and the motivation to build a better life for yourself and your family.
If you have those qualities, going self-employed can be life changing, not just financially, but in how you feel about your work again.
Is it challenging? Yes.
Is it worth it? Ask our Partners if they would ever go back to being employed elsewhere and you’ll get the same answer every time.
Absolutely not.
What makes a great self-employed estate agent?
In simple terms, you need three things:
1. Self-motivation
No one is chasing you for targets. You set the pace.
2. Self-belief
You will have days where a deal falls apart, a valuation goes cold, or a client tests your patience. You need the mindset to stay steady and keep moving forward.
3. A willingness to learn and improve
Self-employed agents who do well are not “lucky”. They improve their skills, their systems and their service.
You do not need to be perfect.
You just need to be committed.
Jordan’s story
“I started falling back in love with being an estate agent.”
Here is our Dartford Partner, Jordan, sharing what changed for him:
“The decision to move from an employed role with a well-known high street brand to The Property Cloud was a no brainer for me personally. The hardest part was funding. Knowing I would need to wait for completions before I saw any income. Once I had that sorted, there was no looking back.
The pros always outweighed the cons. When I was employed, I was no longer enjoying the job. I was bogged down with admin and office politics, which isn’t what I love about being an estate agent. At the time I had a one-year-old daughter and I was missing important milestones. That was the turning point.
I looked into several brokerage style models, but once I spoke with Aaron and heard why he started The Property Cloud, I knew it was the right path. We had a lot in common. He understood exactly how I felt because he had been there himself. The company vision and values also aligned with mine.
Onboarding was straightforward. Aaron took time to get me set up properly, and it helped that The Property Cloud was already an established brand with a team behind it. Knowing there were staff who could help with booking viewings and valuations was reassuring when I was entering new territory.
The first few months are the hardest, but also exciting. The hunger you feel when you’re building something for yourself is different. Once the listings started coming, it was refreshing working one-to-one with clients. I’ve built proper friendships with some of mine. We speak on WhatsApp most days. Being part of someone’s home moving journey and seeing how happy they are on completion is a great feeling.
Being a Partner at The Property Cloud means you get support from Aaron, the team and the other Partners. It feels like a work family. That support mattered to me.
Financially it took a couple of years to get to the level I was earning in my previous managerial role, but it’s only improving as the business grows and referrals increase. Money wasn’t my only motivator. Work-life balance was the biggest thing for me and that’s where I’ve seen the biggest improvement.
I spend more quality time with family and friends, and I don’t have to say no to things because I’m stuck in an office. I have time for hobbies and time to reset. If you’re considering the transition, make sure you’ve got the finances to get through the early months and you won’t regret it.”
Why The Property Cloud?
When I left employment, I wanted three things:
- To run my own business
- To improve my life and my family’s life
- To get away from office politics and long, draining days where you give everything and feel like you own nothing
I also had the same worries most people have:
- How do I pay for Rightmove and Zoopla?
- How do I cover day-to-day costs?
- What happens while I’m waiting for completions?
- How do I keep the mortgage paid and protect my family?
That is why I built our Partner model the way I did.
To remove the barriers that stop good agents going out on their own, and to replace them with support, structure and the right tools so you can build something proper.
We can provide the platform.
The one thing we cannot control is how motivated and committed you are.
Our values
These are the foundations The Property Cloud is built on. If you do not align with these, we are not the right business for you. Simple as that.
Customer satisfaction
Our clients should feel the service is far above what they’ve had before. The goal is to create clients who recommend you the moment property comes up in conversation.
Communication
Clients should never be left wondering what’s happening. Good communication builds trust. Trust builds instructions.
Excellence
No “that’ll do” attitude. In marketing, service and standards, we aim to be better than the norm.
Honesty
We tell clients the truth, even when it’s not what they want to hear. That is how you build a reputation that lasts.
Family
Family matters. Clients should be treated with that same respect and care.
Passion
We care about doing things properly, improving and building something we can be proud of.
Awards and standards
We’ve been recognised within the EA Masters Awards in 2018, 2022, 2023 and 2025, including being selected in the top 1% of estate agencies in the UK in those years. In other years, we’ve been selected in the top 10%.
High standards help you win more business. They also help you justify better fees.

How it works
You operate as a self-employed Partner under The Property Cloud brand, with a clear fee split. As you grow, you keep more.
