The company set up at the start of the recession in 2008 and throughout the challenging economic times has grown to a 5 office network that includes all property services including a financial services division.

Our success is built from doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well, as the judges in the 2012 Estate Agent of the Year awards commented. We focus on regular communication with buyers and sellers to intelligently match the two together using a combination of cutting edge technology and old fashioned hard work.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Encourage honesty within the workplace and do not raise your voice to customers. Minnie shouted at me on several occasions which was completely unacceptable.
