Welcome to NickMarr.com

I am Nick Marr, an entrepreneur, property innovator, and social campaigner. I’m best known for founding the UK’s first online estate agent, The Little House Company, and for my advocacy of online estate agency and private house sales. Over the years, I’ve also been ivolved in property law reform and leading campaigns to honour Walter Tull, a pioneering figure in football and World War I.

Today i work with thousands of real estate agents worldwide from my platforms Homesgofast.com & Europeanproperty.com

 

European Luxury Real Estate

European Property

EuropeanProperty.com launched in 1998 it was among the first wave of real estate platforms focused on European properties during the early days of widespread internet adoption. Back then, online property listings were still a novel concept, and EuropeanProperty.com quickly emerged as a pioneer in the space.

  • Early Real Estate Portals: At the time, very few companies ventured into the online real estate market, as digital property transactions were just beginning to gain traction. Platforms like Rightmove and Zillow were either non-existent or in their infancy.
  • Internet Landscape in 1998: The web was still developing, and EuropeanProperty.com played a critical role in bridging the gap between global buyers and sellers. It remains a foundational player in the online real estate sector for European markets and has operated continuously since 1998.

Today agents, owners and developers use the platform to sell luxury European real estate

International Real Estate

In 2002, I founded Homesgofast.com, one of the first platforms dedicated to overseas property listings. As the concept of international property sales was still relatively new, Homesgofast.com became an early pioneer in connecting buyers and sellers worldwide.

  • Early Entry in a Growing Market: Homesgofast.com entered the market during the early 2000s, as the internet began revolutionizing the real estate industry. Few platforms focused on international markets at the time.
  • Focus on Overseas Property: Unlike domestic-focused platforms, Homesgofast.com specialized in overseas properties, setting itself apart as an innovator in the niche.
  • Recognition and Longevity: Homesgofast.com has operated continuously for over 20 years, earning credibility and recognition as a leader in international property markets.

Homesgofast.com has also been featured in leading publications, including:

  • Property Press Online and Emoov articles listing top property websites.
  • Rightmove’s overseas property magazine, where Homesgofast.com was highlighted for insights into international property markets.

The House Shop

TheHouseShop.com and Partnership with HM Land Registry

In 2015, I co-founded TheHouseShop.com, a UK property website that became the first to partner with HM Land Registry. This collaboration was aimed at verifying property ownership to combat online fraud, particularly scams involving fake landlords. The partnership marked a significant milestone in the fight against property fraud and further solidified Marr’s reputation as an innovator in the property sector.

The Walter Tull Campaign

I am the founder of WalterTull.org a campaign to see Walter Tull awarded a Military Cross.

My passion for social justice led me to campaign for Walter Tull, the first Black professional outfield footballer and a British Army officer in World War I. In 2014, I launched a social media campaign to award Tull a posthumous Military Cross for his bravery. By 2022, I expanded this effort with a Change.org campaign to both honour Tull with the Military Cross and erect a statue of him in London. Preserving Walter Tull’s legacy is one of my proudest achievements, as it reflects my commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in British history.

My Podcast The Global Real Estate Insider

My first business helped change how we buy and sell property in the UK.

Entrepreneurs get innovating

With over 20 years as a founder and business owner, I know it can be a lonely place. Risking financial security, risking how people see you if you fail! Having a vision that others just can’t see can make you feel uncomfortable. You can worry that the plan and vision to success are actually real or is it a dream you’re trying to make a reality.  The fact is going it alone is not easy. I have been there myself and felt the feeling you may have. 

I work with entrepreneurs, individuals who want to master leadership and individuals that want to enhance their life skills. 

Leadership & Coaching

Beyond business, my earlier career with the Metropolitan Police equipped me with invaluable skills in leadership, crisis management, and decision-making, which I now apply across sectors. I also served at the Leadership Academy, where I helped develop emerging leaders in high-stakes environments.

As a qualified leadership coach specializing in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Emotional Intelligence, I guide executives to enhance team dynamics, emotional resilience, and decision-making. My work empowers leaders to navigate challenges and drive meaningful growth within their organizations.

My background as a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) has enabled me to deploy cutting-edge digital marketing strategies that deliver measurable success across industries. I leverage my expertise in marketing to create value and growth for businesses I collaborate with.

Videos & Reviews

I have always loved to travel, and my real estate business, operating Homesgofast.com and Europeanproperty.com, has taken me to some incredible places. I combined this passion for travel with my expertise in digital marketing by becoming an avid TripAdvisor reviewer. Now ranked in the top 1% of reviewers, it’s an activity I genuinely enjoy.

Luxury Lifestyle Videos and Reviews

Europeanproperty.com features a luxury lifestyle YouTube channel where I share my reviews and experiences. With thousands of views, the channel aims to entertain those who love to travel, explore beautiful homes, and enjoy the luxury lifestyle.
