Meet your Game Changers
When it comes to moving home, much of what agents do to make moves happen is behind the scenes. From last-minute staging to late nights keeping chains intact and nervous buyers calm and so much more. They do it because they care deeply about every person, whether that’s helping first-time buyers get onto the ladder, families moving to their forever homes, or renters moving into places for the first time.
We asked people to nominate an agent who went above and beyond when they were moving home, and every story showed how the skill and dedication of their agent made all the difference. After reviewing all the entries, our panel of industry-expert judges selected six standout agents: The Game Changers.
Richard Rawlings, Estate Agency Trainer and Industry Consultant, and member of the judging panel, says: “These agents have shown that they’re absolutely committed to helping their clients move, whatever it takes. They listen, and patiently seek to understand people’s anxieties and fears, as much as their hopes and dreams, to the extent that many of them remain trusted advisors, and even friends, long after the keys have changed hands.”
Meet the Game Changers…
The ‘Extra Miler’: Michelle Shaw-Marla, Joy Walker in Cleethorpes
Michelle was nominated by home-mover Veronica, who said: “Michelle went above and beyond, helping ensure questionnaires were answered correctly. As pensioners, she wanted us to feel safe in a long-term rental”.
The ‘Mind Reader’: Wendy Halliday, Rook Matthews Sayer in Ashington
Wendy was nominated by home-mover Kirsty, who said: “Wendy solved problems before I even knew they existed and made sure that the process was as seamless as possible”.
The ‘Solution Finder’: Christian Cloke, Christian Lewis Property in Evesham
Christian was nominated by home-mover Andrew, who said: “Our move was complex and could have stalled several times. With Christian’s support we were able to look at alternatives to keep the sale progressing”.
The ‘Chain Saver’: Kerry Ray, CJ Hole in Kingswood
Kerry was nominated by home-mover Emma, who said: “If it wasn’t for Kerry’s experience, rapid responding, and quick thinking, we would not have got our dream house”.
The ‘Rapid Replier’: Helen South, Moore Homes in Bramhall
Helen was nominated by home-mover Brendan, who said: “Helen was super responsive – our decision to sell our home was quite last minute, then we agreed a sale in 3 weeks. It felt like she was personally invested in our transaction”.
The ‘Door Opener’: James Drewett, EXP in Orpington
James was nominated by home-mover Aine, who said: “James always saw visions for houses and gave us great ideas for remodelling. He let us go back and forth with viewings when we weren’t sure”.
