What’s your role?
I head up the New Homes team which is a team specialising in the purchase of new build properties. The team deals with in excess of 3,000 property transactions each year. This is a fast growing and very busy team working to tight deadlines set by developers. Part of my role is focused on the strategic growth of the team. I also ensure the delivery of client service excellence by the team through the management, development, and training of individual team members and the improvement of processes and procedures. I also assist with complicated technical issues.
I deal with complex property issues and help clients buy, sell and mortgage all types of property effectively and efficiently.
