A new East London Estate Agent, with a long history.
The Rooted name is new to selling and letting property in East London, but we’re not.
Our team has 20 years’ of experience between us in the area. In fact, we were so good at selling houses for other people, we decided to start selling them for ourselves (and for you) and dispense with a load of the stuff that irritated us about conventional Estate Agents in the process.
We’re an independent business, founded by two best friends. But we’re mighty: between us, we have 20 years’ experience breaking all records at east London’s biggest estate agent, before setting up on our own and showing the industry a better way ….
We don’t tie you in to long contracts, we’re honest and we don’t charge big commissions. Our long history in the area means we have the kind of network that allows us to be generous.
We grew up in East London and we get what makes it great. We’ve worked here forever – so no one knows more than us
about how to help you make your next move in East London.
Whether is renting or selling, Rooted’s two founders have you
covered.
Meet The Team
The two founders of Rooted are the people that will be selling or renting your home. Not a trainee, a temp or someone whose heart isn’t in it.
Max came to property via ladies’ fashion – with his own fashion store in east London. After a few years, he joined Scott in property – and spent a decade zooming up the chain at one of the city’s biggest Estate Agents.
He was their youngest ever Office Manager, an absolute sales whizz and a passionate east London advocate – passing his down time walking Louis (the crazy Hungarian Vizsla) through London Fields, Victoria Park and Epping Forest.
Being part of a traditional Estate Agent taught Max a few things – not least what he didn’t like about the industry. He and his best friend are excited to launch something together, and fix all the things that are wrong about the business of finding people homes.
Scott comes from entrepreneurial stock – his dad founded a footwear company in Hackney in 1986, which meant Scott grew up here – helping out on school holidays and playing in Hackney marshes and Victoria park as often as he could.
He lives in east London and loves it – from dog walks on Millfields to market pootles on a Sunday. After a foray into fashion, Scott spent a decade in the property business – breaking all sales records at the (major) Estate Agents where he worked, and noting quietly how the industry could be improved.
He fits Rooted around a committed sports habit – and travels whenever he gets the chance. He’s back in Hackney following four months volunteering in South America – just the pause he needed before putting Rooted on the map.
