CEO Today United Kingdom Awards

www.ceotodaymagazine.com 98 CEO Today United Kingdom Awards 2018 REAL ESTATE one of the worst markets in terms of property listings and viewings as a whole. The entire property market is facing severe financial distress on many fronts. Both branches have exceptional teams who are led by an inspiring and proactive Branch Manager. He undertakes a dedicated role to ensure both offices are run effectively, whilst being committed to the team’s success and constantly driving staff members to meet targets in this highly competitive market. My branch manager leads the team with a systemised and extremely reactive approach to all business levels. Competition in the area is fierce and this is a daily challenge we must meet. However, it is also worthy to note that many agents in the area have not survived. We are therefore seen as a strong force within the independent agents in Croydon, which is evident from the recent award received on being Croydon’s Most Trusted Independent Agent. Career History From being an ex-banking professional (corporate manager) specialising In corporate banking, I climbed through the ranks in the banking world. Coming from a background where my family struggled and my father died whilst I was only 9 years old, my mother strived and worked hard as a nurse/carer to bring up 3 young children, and I was also destined to make a successful career for myself in property. Hence, I have now created four strong companies specialising in all aspects of property throughout the Croydon area and taken the company from zero to a multi- million pound expansion of companies. As a company, phenomenal efforts have been placed in the following: • School sponsorships with all local schools to invest back into the community with the schools in return displaying for sale boards. • Launching a premiere online site called Croydon Property to compete with my competitors such as Yopa and Purplebricks. This sets us apart and provides an online platform to vendors with an alternative pricing model. Whilst still offering a traditional service with this option, we are still able to keep this service personalised and with all clients at the forefront of our offering, and still able to conduct all home visits with a real person dealing with the sale of properties. • Continuous personal development for myself via dedicated mentorship programmes and personal one to one coaching. Services / Investments Made into Current Companies “Being able to develop new markets and business models has brought fresh ideas and revenue into the business, whilst creating further job opportunities. We are a force to be reckoned with and very active within the Croydon market.”
