      ALEX JOHNSON, SENIOR PROPERTY VALUER 
      What is your experience? I started in estate agency straight out of college at 18. I now have over 25 years of experience working solely in the sector and dealing with all property types and various marketplaces.

      The best part of your job? Bit of a stock answer, but nothing beats selling a property, and I love it when that means that our seller gets to secure the home of their dreams. It's not like selling any other product; it's full of emotion and hopes for the future.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? Make the most of what you have; that doesn't mean spending a fortune but touching up that bit of paint and clearing out the clutter makes all the difference. Remember, best foot forward you wouldn't go on a date without brushing your hair!

      What would be your dream home? Somewhere out in the countryside with views for miles!

      LISA HUNT, SALES MANAGER 
      What is your experience? I have been working on and off in the Estate Agency and Mortgage Industry since 1995 so have seen a lot of changes!

      The best part of your job? I love the variety of the job, meeting and talking to different people every day. Working hard for clients and getting them a fantastic result motivates me.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? Relax and try and enjoy the buying or selling process, it should be an exciting time. Choosing the right agent such as John German can help you achieve a stress free transaction!

      Dream Home: Somewhere overlooking water, spacious and low maintenance.

      HARRY VOSS, SALES NEGOATIATOR 
      What is your experience? Prior to joining the John German team, I have two years Estate Agency experience previously working as a sales negotiator and valuer. I am genuinely so excited to start life at John German and have a career within the company.

      The best part of your job? I especially love meeting and talking to new and different people every single day. From the first call of listening and hearing their requirements; to being a part of the journey to finding their dream home. I love every aspect of Estate Agency and the smile on everyone's face when you had over the keys to their new home makes it all worth it!

      Top tip for a buyer or seller? My best tip for any buyer, especially in this market is make sure you are financially ready and up to date with a good advisor behind you. My best tip for any seller is presentation is key, de-clutter as much as possible and ensure the property is clean, tidy and welcoming before any viewings take place.

      What would be your dream home? My dream home would be a stunning equestrian home out in the countryside with paddocks, stables and views!

      FLORENCE PHILLIPS, SALES NEGOTIATOR 
      What is your experience? I've been working at John German since February 2024, I'm new to this sector but so far I'm absolutely loving it!

      The best part of your job? Meeting new people and helping them find their dream home.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? To help enjoy your buying experience speak to a mortgage advisor for an AIP so you know exactly what price range you can afford.

      Dream Home: Little cottage in the countryside with land for chickens and cattle. Bonus points if it has an AGA.

      BUCKSO DHILLON-WOOLLEY, ACCOMPANIED VIEWING 
      What is your experience? I have an extensive amount of experience when it comes to customer service and ensuring the clients needs are met every step of the way. This is why, as the customer facing role and first point of contact for John German, it's imperative I build rapport and connection with everyone I see, just to be sure we're meeting their expectations when it comes to their buying requirements.

      The best part of your job? I simply adore being out and about meeting new people every single day and hearing their stories, the reasons behind why they're selling or buying.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? Emphasise the importance of location. Take into account local amenities such as schools, parks, shopping and transportation options. This will affect the value of the property over time. Also, is the area likely to undergo any gentrification in the future? This will impact value going forward as well.

      Dream Home: My dream home would be by the sea with stunning views and not much else nearby!
