ADVENTURER David Brierley is relishing his latest project - teaming up with easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou to change – for the better – the traditional world of estate agency with easyProperty. The exciting, new online group is setting up a network of experienced agents across the UK and is the latest business to join the ever-expanding easy family of brands. Here David talks about joining ranks with the global entrepreneur.

Last year, he and his wife MaryAnne, sailed more than 5,000 miles across the Pacific from Panama to Tahiti in a 50 ft catamaran.

And if life on the ocean waves wasn’t exhilarating enough for David and MaryAnne, they have just entered into an exciting new business partnership with easy family of brands supremo Sir Stelios Haji-Ionnau.

The couple have joined forces with the billionaire boss, who founded the easyJet airline, to launch easyProperty with ambitions to make a sea change to the UK estate agency market.

David shook hands on the deal on July 31 and is really looking forward to the venture as well as joining the easy family of brands.

It’s a really interesting time in the estate agency world and we couldn’t be working with a better brand,” says David, who has been in the property business since studying estate management at Southampton University in his early twenties.

Since the late 70s, David has been involved in a succession of successful real estate companies that he has helped build up and then sold on to bigger organisations.

David established his company Evolve in 2007 to take all the hard work out of the estate agency business, taking on all the administrative parts of the operation for estate agents.
