What's the funniest anecdote you have from working in the property industry? I once received a landlord’s Gas Safety Certificate from our contractor for a property we didn’t manage. It turned out the plumber had knocked on the wrong door and the tenant of the property who rented through another agent actually let him in, he carried out a boiler service and provided us with a certificate!

What initially sparked your interest in the property industry and what led you to join our estate agency? I have always enjoyed looking online at properties, in particular internal photographs, and relished the opportunity to work for a family run business with an outstanding reputation when I was offered a position within Butcher Residential Limited.

What unique qualities, skills or values do you bring to the table that sets you apart from other professional estate agents? I feel I have excellent negotiating skills which enable me to resolve bond issues quickly and amicably.

What do clients say about you? Many thanks for all your hard work and super professional service for us. We're considering whether to rent out my mum's house when she moves, so I'm likely to be back in touch.
