She proved to be an asset to that branch after great success and a proven record for sales, she soon became Office Manager due to her undisputed skills within the branch.

Ann Symes

Part time viewing representative

Ann lives in Heaton Mersey and been a viewing representative with us since 2003. Her service enables clients to view property's for both rental and sale during office hours, evenings, Saturdays and Sundays, thus freeing up time for the full time staff to focus on selling and listing new properties.

Peter Kelly

Part time viewing Representative

Peter has been with the company since 2008 and resides in Reddish. Having an additional viewing representative enables the company to arrange a great number of accompanied viewings, which we believe generates a higher number of offers and a better level of service to our vendors, unrivaled locally.

Kiera Hibbert and Katherine Johnson

Part time negotiators

Kiera (3 years service) and Katherine (2 years service) are both coming to the end of their studies and their service combined with full time staff enables us to keep the office open 7 days a week and covers the office for holidays and illness, without which our service to our clients would suffer. Having an office staffed during a weekend is vital since that is when most buyers find time for house hunting.
