Why I became an estate agent

After being made redundant from a customer service position at my local bank, I found myself unsure of my next career move. My sister at the time was a recruitment consultant for a large corporate estate agent and urged me to go for an interview. The next thing I knew I was a trainee negotiator in my local Gillingham Office. I quickly realised it was a job I absolutely love and I still do to this day nearly 15 years later.

Career

My career history over the last 15 years has seen me work from a trainee negotiator through to branch manager in various corporate agents, an internet-based agent and now an independent. I have worked in various locations such as the Medway Towns, Ashford, Dartford and Sittingbourne and I believe this has contributed to my success over the years as I have plenty of local knowledge.

Interests

Outside of work I very much like to keep active. I am a keen runner and currently training for a marathon. I also enjoy going to the gym, walking and swimming. I enjoy reading, socializing with my friends and being with my family.
