With over two decades selling and letting in Lincoln and the villages, navigating clients through both fantastic and stormy property markets, striving for excellence and achieving the best results.
I started my career at Brogden Bews Brown back in 2000 as a trainee negotiator. Back in those days, we didn’t have computers or Rightmove, like we do now. We were traditionally trained to listen, understand and support our clients and buyers/tenants moving goals and needs.
In 2003 I was approached by a large multi-branch agent in Lincoln to join them as a negotiator. This is where I learnt my craft as a selling agent. This high performing agency kept you on your tiptoes, competing against 12 other excellent agents to ensure targets and service were met.
In 2007 the sales market changed; in fact it fell off the cliff. I decided it was a great time to focus on lettings and learn it from inside out. Something that has given me great grounding until this day. I was then approached by another highly regarding and established estate agency to run and grow their lettings department.
Even though I valued the lettings part of the business, my passion was selling, and I was given the opportunity to enter management and start a sales division for a Lincoln lettings business. I took the department from 0 properties to around 80 sold and available, and within month 10 of the year had exceeded my yearly targets.
This gave me a real hunger to create my own business and in 2018 I opened my estate agency, with my then business partner, where I successfully grew the company from 1 member of staff to 5 and we opened a new office on Silver Street in 2021. Following Covid-19 I started to see how people were selling, buying, letting and renting was changing and even though we had created something which was well respected and successful, I knew that this wasn’t the future of estate agency.
Roll onto Boxing Day 2021 and I listed my first home for sale, powered by eXp. This was a monumental day for me as I stepped out as a fully independent estate agent. The business grows from strength to strength with our brand and reputation proceeding us.
Stacey comes from a solid background in retail and sales, including supervisory and management positions, often running high end marketing campaigns and buying and selecting products for large Lincoln retailers. Stacey also has successfully run a Lincolnshire based company for the past 2 years. She is a real asset to the team, and we are lucky to have her on board.
Why Lincoln and the villages?
We are both Lincoln born and bred (you can call us Yellow Bellies). We are proud to live and work in the beautiful and historic City of Lincoln. We have both seen it grow rapidly since the 1980’s into a vibrant and cultural city, attracting people to its charm and character. Quite simply, we can’t think of a better place to live, work and bring up our family.
