Muvin – A Fresh Approach to Moving Homes

Our mission is to elevate the standard of estate agency by delivering a superior experience for sellers while empowering our partner agents to build fulfilling, prosperous lives. Through better service and meaningful support, we raise the bar for everyone involved in a move.

Founded in 2025 by Adam Mackay and Jamie Fisher, who share over 40 years of local experience, Muvin brings together two sets of partner agents under one brand with one clear vision.

We’re a collective of like-minded partner agents and property marketeers, all working together with the same outlook and mindset: to make your move smoother, smarter, and more successful. Between us, we’ve helped thousands of families move locally — and our track record of results means you can trust us to deliver.

Every home has its own story, and we’re here to tell it in the most compelling way. Through creative video marketing, thoughtful staging advice, and personalised viewings, we showcase what makes your property unique, helping it stand out and attract the right buyers.

We don’t just rely on portals. Our marketing support team drives targeted digital campaigns, social media reach, brochure creation and community projects — ensuring your home is seen by the widest possible audience of qualified buyers.

We’re also heavily focused on helping buyers find their perfect next home, guiding them with honest advice, local knowledge, and a personal approach that makes the journey exciting and stress-free. We take pride in sourcing off-market and discreet opportunities, because not every home sells on the open market.

Our values are simple: be driven, be connected, be proud. That means we work harder, communicate better, and never forget we’re representing your biggest move.

Our collaborative approach means you get the power of a whole team behind you, focused on achieving the best possible result for your move. Backed by eXp – a global network of more than 85,000 agents, we combine local expertise across Essex and Hertfordshire with worldwide reach.

Whether you’re selling a one-of-a-kind home or searching for your next chapter, we’d love to help.

Let’s get you moving — with Muvin.
