I'm passionate about making my clients happy and get a real buzz from seeing their needs fulfilled. I enjoy finding ways I can help new customers achieve their personal ambitions through taking a real interest in their needs rather than mine. For some strange reason this friendly interest means we usually do business together!I enjoy new challenges and showing other members of staff how taking an interest in the customer and their situation - building trusted, unbiased relationships is so much more effective and satisfying than treating people as targets.I enjoy making other members of staff better at their job and helping them get the same buzz as I do. I don’t know it all but love passing on what I i have learned from my success and failures along the way.I love a competitive environment – show me a challenge and I’ll find a way to achieve it!

Branch ManagerAll hard work produces profit, you often don’t know what will work but work hard in the morning and the afternoon and you will get a result! Care and manners cost nothing but usually generates trust and often won me business. Being in charge did not mean that I had to be the best at everything it meant that I needed to impart what I could but also delegate to those more gifted in certain arena’s than myself.Senior NegotiatorHaving hit target nine months in a row I was asked to keep doing that whilst helping others to hit theirs! My success was often built on learning from mistakes and I soon realised that passing on knowledge is all very well but sometimes management is being brave enough to let others learn from their own mistakes!NegotiatorThis was definitely fun-filled experience full of challenges; here I really learnt the ins and outs of Estate agency. I soon learnt that the only way to be taken seriously in the lions den at 16 was to hit target. I thrive on proving the underdog can beat the favourites and by the time I turned 17 I’d achieved the best viewing to sales ratio in the country! Trainee NegotiatorCharacter building! This is where I learnt the basics from answering the phone to making the tea. An experience both humbling and challenging - well worth learning who takes sugar and who doesn’t!
