I am an experienced property professional who started my career in an estate agency doing work experience in 2007 with Michael Graham and then starting full-time with them as an estate agent in 2009.
I managed a very successful and profitable office in Newport Pagnell from 2015 to 2020 that achieved over 150 5* Google reviews in that time and ranked in the top 1% in the first Best Estate Agent Guide in 2018.
I made the move to Homesearch in early 2020, having been an avid user of the system in my agency days, and saw the profit of the office I was managing grow substantially as a direct result of using Homesearch.
I spent three years at Homesearch as the head of training and development and was part of the team that won the 2021 ESTAS best instruction generation tool and secured a £5,000,000 investment.
I also helped the business to generate over 700 reviews during this time as well.
I now help estate & letting agents nurture their existing relationships and create new opportunities by showing them how to get the most out of property data, tech, direct mail, and, social media.
I host my own podcast - Opening The Gates To More Listings.
I’m also a NED for The FIA & The Estate Agency and a volunteer mentor at Agents Together.
