On this episode, Caroline Donaghue and Priya Rawal welcome Daniel Daggers (aka Mr Super Prime), founder of DDRE Global.Daniel is a well-known face for many in the world of real estate. Some call him a disruptor, others may know him as a mentor or the star on Netflix's Buying London (the UK’s answer to Selling Sunset). A broken collar bone (following a football injury) and a failed surveying course led Daniel into the world of the estate agency, where he discovered he had a knack for selling property from the age of 17. After a 12-year stint at Knight Frank, he set off to create his own company, DDRE Global in 2020.A true disruptor, Daniel created the company with a vision of revolutionising traditional real estate, using social media to build an online audience to sell luxury property to high value clients. The content agency encourages agents to act as influencers, connecting directly to their customers. He also stars in Netflix's 'Buying London' which follows Daniel and his team as they promote some of the most expensive homes in London as well as behind-the-scenes look at the high-end homes looking for super wealthy buyers.Supported by Angel O'Donnell & V1 Architectural Visualisation.Follow Caroline @caroline.donaghue, Priya @priya.rawal.london and the podcast page @therealrendezvous on Instagram and LinkedIn. Produced by BBE Podcast Agency.#therealrendezvous #danieldaggers #buyinglondon #sellingsunset #superprime #netflixshow #superprimeproperties #propertypodcast #realestatepodcast #housingmarket #propertymarket #propertytrends
