Not Your
AVERAGE
Estate Agents
Not Even
Close.

Not better. Not worse.

Just different.

Different in what I say.

Different in what I do.

And different because of who I am.

A father. A husband.

An active part of the local community — and yes, an estate agent too.

When we speak of values and what matters most…

I speak of family.

My amazing boys, Ādam and Danyāl.

My wife Gema.

My parents.

They are my foundation — the why behind everything I do.

You’ll hear about them often in my blogs.

New things I learn from them. Old things I try to teach them.

And in between, I’ll share insights on the property market, what’s happening in our community, and even the little things that catch my eye.

Sometimes serious. Sometimes silly.

But always real.

Multi Award-Winning Estate Agents

Did you know? From the very beginning, at Asif Kola Realty® we’ve been doing things a little differently — and it’s been recognised.

In our first year, I was honoured to be receiving a Highly Commended award.
By year two, we took home Business of the Year.
In 2024, I was proudly awarded Best Real Estate Agent in Birmingham.
And in 2025, we were named one of the Top 10 Startups in the UK — a huge milestone for our journey so far.

But truthfully, it’s not about the awards. It’s about the people — and the impact we’re making.

These accolades simply reflect the care, service, and results we deliver for the clients who trust us with their biggest move.

Not showing off.

Just showing up — with honesty, heart, and hustle. Alhamdulillah. 🙂

WE HAVE LIFT-OFF.

Before launching my own agency, I spent many years with one of Birmingham’s top estate agencies — and before that, I worked in a small family-run office from the age of 14, while still in school.

Seventeen years.

Two companies.

Loyal, dedicated, and always giving my best.

But here’s the truth:

For me, it’s never been about property.

Property is just the by-product.

It’s always been about people.

And maybe that’s where many agents go wrong — they focus on homes more than the humans behind them.

Estate agency today often feels polished and scripted.

Flawless branding. Five-star reviews (if they’re to be believed).

Salespeople with lines for every situation.

Saying everything, to everyone.

That’s not me.

That’s not real life.

I’m not for everyone. And that’s OK.

If you’ve read this far, thank you.

Even if we never speak — I appreciate your time.

LET'S TALK ABOUT MOVING

What people have to say about Asif Kola

“

Asif and Gemma were excellent throughout or sales process. I made contact with Asif many years after dealing with him whilst renting out a property. He was extremely accommodating and really offers a bespoke and personal service which cannot be matched. They helped us find the right buyer for our property after holding a open house within a couple of weeks. Asif has even helped me in my search for our onward purchase, offered valuable advice and most importantly gave his time. They are approachable, contactable and a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to use them again if needed and have recommended to family and friends. You won’t find estate agents like this on the high street. Worth every penny. Jazakallah to Asif and Gemma.

Amazing service from start to end! We cant thank Asif & Gema enough for selling our home for us. Not only was Asif attentive to our needs but was very understanding towards the reasons for selling and with that in mind he carried out his job effectively and extremely professionally. We was SSTC in under 5 days from the viewings and thereafter Asif was on hand every time he was called upon. His bespoke service is second to none, his attention to detail is unparalleled and most importantly and all round great human being. If you decide to appoint Asif Kola Realty, rest assured your in the most safest and honest hands. Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family bro and we wish you every success in life and in business.

Asif had been a rock from day one. We were SSTC in around 10 days (correct me if I'm wrong). In the past we have used other agents for buy and selling properties. But the experience we had with Asif had no fault. His transparency, enthusiasm and professionalism remained throughout the process. There was a moment where our buyers pulled out of the transaction but Asif remained calm and collected which helped us remain calm. There was constant communication. Asif has strong knowledge and understanding of the housing market. Not only did he help us sell, he was always at hand to give us advice on our onwards purchase. We'll definitely use again. Keep up the good work.

I recently sold my house with the help of Asif Kola, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Asif was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated. He kept me informed every step of the way and was always available to answer my questions. His advice and expertise made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Asif, my house sold quickly and at a great price. I highly recommend Asif Kola to anyone looking to sell their home. Give him a call.

Hired Assif Kola Realty based on the recommendation of a friend. I thought we’d give them a try because we had a terrible agent who was entertaining offers below our asking price. AKR impressed us from the very first meeting. They had a clear and strong marketing and sales strategy. Something that the big name agents lacked. Since they’re a small family business, every sale counts for them as much as for their clients, so they truly have skin in the game. Their fees might seem higher than the average high street agent. BUT they’re open for negotiations, AND they sold our property WAY ABOVE our initial asking price. So we couldn’t be happier and cared less about the little extra fee. THEY’RE WORTH EVERY PENNY! We’re surely going to be repeat clients. Can’t recommend them enough!

Asif and his partner have exceeded every expectation in selling our property. We originally had it listed with another agent whom we weren’t happy with. On the first open house we had a brilliant offer which we accepted. We were particularly impressed with the drone footage of the property which beautifully captured its unique location and how communicative Asif and his partner were. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to sell their property. Outstanding service and a great result.

Asif & Gemma Kola are amazing - Sold our home within 3 days. Fantastic service from start to finish. I was always able to get hold of them at any time and they were more than willing to help. I have worked with other estate agents in the past.... none come close. Their professionalism and more importantly results speak for themselves. Would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future. They provided the care and attention such a big life step deserves. Keep up the good work guys !!!
