Pros

I would give ZERO star if I could.

Cons

By the name of the company, you would have guess it yes they are the team behind Hippo & Duck Bus Tour with absolutely ZERO experience in running an estate agency I kid you not. You are entering a circus full of clowns faking it with lies till they make it. They will promise you the moon but you will not even get 1% close to it as they have ZERO resources in place to make that happen. If you don't already know this company markets themselves as 'Smartseller' which apparently contradicts it all. This is a company that is about to waste your time, leaving you stranded with ZERO degree of proper HR system hiring and firing solely based on how the management feels about you. Good luck in having any job security because you will be out of job in the next hour or so with absolutely senseless reasoning that they will provide you with. Everyone in the company have witness this happening and it feels like a ticking time bomb that will be dropped on you any second. Whether you are a looking for your next career breakthrough or learning path heed all the reviews given here, do not waste your life in this company as they are a walking RED FLAG.

Pros

Affordable and varied food options nearby. Strictly enforced knock-off time — 6pm means 6pm (though 9am arrival is non-negotiable). There were a few vibrant, positive team members — unfortunately, most have moved on.

Cons

This is essentially a family-run business, and with that comes all the internal drama. Conflict, shouting matches, and sudden changes are common and unsettling. The company lacks a clear, consistent business direction. Strategies shift weekly, and policies — including salary and commission structures — are frequently revised with little notice. It often feels like decisions are driven more by personal moods than thoughtful planning. No solid processes or frameworks exist. Operations are improvised, and staff are often left confused and unsupported. Promises made at the start (such as media support and fixed pay structures) were later retracted. Entire teams have been made redundant overnight. Agents are left to fend for themselves, with minimal guidance or structure — essentially functioning like fully commissioned freelancers, but without the expected industry support. External partners have raised concerns about delayed commission payments, which hurts the company’s reputation in the industry. Turnover is very high. Many of the most capable and genuine colleagues have already left, disillusioned by the experience. Many employees walked away feeling misled. The sense of instability is overwhelming and demoralising.
