  • Wes’s Window on How the Market Is Going

    by Wes I was at a barbecue on Saturday after a grueling day of Open Homes, balancing a paper plate like it owed me money, when someone asked it. “What’s the market doing?” Before I could answer, someone else chimed in.“No seriously… what’s the market doing?” Gym. Same question.Coffee. Same question.Scroll Instagram. Every second agent suddenly…

  • Wes’s Window on Layering

    By Wes I checked the weather last night before packing my gym bag and saw 20 degrees. To me that means temperamental weather. Maybe a hoodie. Maybe a light jersey. Something that says “prepared” and “mature adult making sensible choices”. Yet here I am at 11am sweating through my soul. Part of my nightly routine is…

  • Wes’s Window on the Blank Page

    by wes Blank page week two. I have opened this laptop every morning with the intention of writing something insightful about the property market and then immediately closed it again to watch dog videos or look at air fryers I absolutely do not need. Because the truth is every sentence I start typing sounds like one…

  • Wes’s Window on 6000 Real Estate Agents

    by wes I have a very toxic relationship with conferences. I arrive motivated, hydrated and ready to become the greatest version of myself. By lunch on day one I have decided I am going to become a better communicator, post 4 times a day on Instagram, make 500 calls a day, know every market stat…

  • Wes’s Window on Planning

    by wes I sat down this week to plan something truly unfamiliar. Not work. Not a campaign. Not a deadline. The holiday season. Immediately my brain short-circuited. How many bottles of wine do you need for six people? Is six people actually six people or is it secretly ten once partners, cousins and that one…

  • Wes’s Window on Surfaces

    By wes Every few months, like clockwork, I get overwhelmed by my stuff. In the immortal words of Edina Monsoon: “Surfaces, darling, surfaces! I don’t want things in places.” And honestly, same. A minimal, uncluttered home looks like absolute peace. Calm. Serenity. Something that would soothe my ADHD brain and maybe make me a better…

  • Wes’s Window on the Blank Page

    By wes I’ve been staring at this screen for twenty minutes and… nothing. Not a spark, not a sentence. Just me, the blinking cursor, and an internal monologue that sounds like dial-up internet. Some weeks I can’t stop the ideas. Other weeks like this one, it’s tumbleweeds. I didn’t want to fake it or turn…

  • Wes’s window on Traffic

    By wes Here I am in traffic on South Dowling, boxed in between brake lights and bus fumes, watching the next lane glide like it’s got VIP access. Every time I switch, my old lane takes off. Every time. The giant Jeep doesn’t help. It’s too easy to dart around, too tempting to believe I…

  • Wes’s Window on Sun

    by wes The sun and I had a great weekend together. The smell of sunscreen and watermelon is in the air, and honestly, summer is starting and I’m here for it. People are smiling in the streets again, that easy kind of happiness that only shows up when the days stretch long and everything feels…

  • Wes’s Window on New Year New Me

Drink more water.Gym 6 days a weekIdeal weightPerfectly balanced social lifeProbably learn a new language.Read a book a day.Be calm. Be organised. Be thin. Be enlightened. By that list, by mid-year I should be…
