• Bespoke Property Agent

  • Dec 2020 - Present

  My passion for all things property sector related, has allowed me an exciting and diverse career. The part I have enjoyed most about my decade long career in property, are the people I meet, the stories they tell and the stories their homes tell of them. My career highlights include winning both Lettings Agency of the Year, The Guardian Student Experience Award as well as being shortlisted for a Lifetime Achievement Award for services to the industry. A property transaction is one of the biggest financial commitments you will make. I choose to be a part of that journey and building strong partnerships with those I work with is instrumental to my consultative approach. You will work with me on an individual basis throughout the process. I work only with a small number of people to ensure the quality of service meets both our expectations. My advice and guidance will always be to achieve the outcome you hope for which you can only expect from a bespoke service offering like mine. Property transactions often require an honest and ethical agent like myself to have difficult conversations, but I believe that trust and integrity is vital for a positive working partnership. I gained my industry experience whilst working for corporate estate agencies. More recently I worked within the higher education sector where I was able to develop not only a less traditional, not-for-profit estate agency but also a support and welfare function which was highly rewarding personally. I am heavily involved in activities within my local community as well as my daughters school. I have a keen interest in nature conservation and sustainability and conduct my business activities with this in mind. Since I hold myself to the highest ethical standards and encourage transparency, I hold a professional membership with Arla Propertymark and The London Landlord Accreditation Scheme so you can be assured that you are working with a qualified, knowledgeable and trusted agent.
