Steve Wayne
Founder of Benjamin Stevens. Now on eXp UK. Building MoveGenie AI and Landlord2Landlord. Still selling and letting homes across North West London and Hertfordshire.
The estate agency model is changing. You don’t have to give away the lion’s share of the fees you bring in, and you don’t have to go it alone. There’s a third option.
Meet Steve
I launched Benjamin Stevens Estate Agents in January 2004, aged 22, from a small serviced office in Mill Hill. I’d had three years in the industry, and I’ve lived in this area all my life. Within six months I’d opened the Edgware branch that is still our head office today.
In 2009 we opened in Bushey. In January 2017 I bought Frederick George Property Management Services — a local firm established in 1869 — and built our block management practice around it. After two years of planning I launched the first Benjamin Stevens Hub in September 2018, covering Harrow and Wembley, and a second in Luton that November.
In 2014 we were invited to join The Guild of Property Professionals. I now sit on its National Advisory Council. Guild awards under my leadership: Gold for Sales and Lettings for the London region in 2021, and Silver in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023.
In January 2026 I moved Benjamin Stevens onto eXp UK after 22 years as a traditional independent. Plenty of people asked if I’d sold up. I haven’t. Same name above the door, same team in Edgware and Bushey, same phone number. What changed is the engine underneath us — and what we can offer good agents who want more than a basic salary and a small commission cut.
I’ve also founded MoveGenie AI, a live app for people moving home, and co-founded Landlord2Landlord UK, a marketplace for tenanted investment property.
After my wife and my daughter, Benjamin Stevens is my sweetheart and my soul.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me with them — or at Loftus Road, watching Queens Park Rangers.
What I do
Whether you want to sell or let a home, arrange a mortgage, join the team, move house, trade a tenanted investment, or recruit in South Africa, this is where to start.
A local firm that’s been in Edgware since 2004, with a second office in Bushey. We handle residential and commercial sales and lettings, block management and auctions. A valuation is free, with no obligation, and the conversation stays confidential.
Experienced agents can run their own patch with a 22-year local brand, our lettings, block management and in-house mortgage partners, proper admin support, and eXp’s platform — while keeping a proper share of what they earn. If you’re in North West London or Herts, let’s have a quiet coffee and an honest chat.
I founded MoveGenie, a live app that helps people discover, book and manage the services around a home move — from removers to utilities — in one place. There’s also a free white-label portal for estate agents.
I co-founded Landlord2Landlord UK, a marketplace that helps landlords sell tenanted property without waiting for vacant possession, and helps investors buy income-producing stock from day one.
My mortgage business, Mortgage Advice Bureau (Edgware & Herts), is run in partnership with Erison Cukoj. We’re based inside Benjamin Stevens at 194 Station Road, Edgware HA8 7AT. Erison is the adviser, on 07869 842678. We advise on residential mortgages, buy-to-let mortgages, remortgages, first-time buyer mortgages, and protection and insurance. In October 2026 we won top Mortgage Firm in London at the ESTAS awards.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is 0.3% of the amount borrowed. Mab is a trading name of Mortgage Advice Bureau Limited and Mortgage Advice Bureau (Derby) Limited which are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
I co-founded Global Talent Group with Bianca Weber, connecting UK businesses with exceptional talent in South Africa. There are two ways to work with us: recruit-only, where we find the right people and you employ them, or managed staff, where people work for you and we manage them. Benjamin Stevens employs 12 staff in South Africa.
