My passion with property started in the nineties at college after completing a Diploma in building studies. I gained my first job as a junior in the flagship office of Blackhorse Agencies in Norwich to start my career as an Estate Agent and having worked my way up I moved to the fast and heady market of East London for a large independent as a Senior Negotiator. That year I was the national highest sales negotiator. I then continued my journey to manage two branches for the company before being recruited by a smaller independent as an Area Manager running several branches. Now I head up Arlington Park as a very much hands on Managing Director and also as the MD of Ambrose Homes Norwich a property development and consultancy company. I have always believed that communication is key. You always finish the conversation and deliver what you say. Always put the client before the sale and a two-minute telephone conversation far exceeds a whole day of email tennis. I love architecture and very much into my fitness and when not working you will find me at the gym or at The Blackbelt Academy in Norwich sometimes teaching a class where I hold a second-degree Black Belt. I love speaking to people and helping them achieve what they are looking for. Having a very pragmatic approach helps and I always take a view from a clients’ perspective whether buying, selling, renting or letting. This helped me develop the kind of business I want from Arlington Park and differentiate from the level of service people of Norwich have become accustomed to from other Estate Agents. I just believe clients deserve better, whether its communication, marketing or just being there when the client needs them.
