    Robert grew up locally and joined a corporate estate agent straight from school, on a training programme. He was recognised for his enthusiasm, people skills and efficiency, soon progressing to a more senior level. Having a passion for property and enjoying customer interaction, he was keen to further progress his career at a top independent estate agency and decided to join the Keith Ashton team. Now, after many years with Keith Ashtons, Robert has grown with the company, progressing from a negotiator to his well-deserved new role as Sales Director, taking total responsibility for the Brentwood Office, with the support of his loyal team. He certainly is a people's person, with his caring and compassionate nature, receiving continual praise from both clients and staff along the way.  Robert married Mandy in 2014 and they enjoy walks and eating out, Robert also fits in football, yoga, golf and snooker.

    Ben Clarke - Sales Manager
    Growing up in the small commuter village of Ingatestone, Ben's agency career began at the tender age of 18 when he started working for a small family run agency in Billericay. Looking to develop his career further, Ben then moved to another independent agent in the affluent area of Shenfield, allowing him to develop his skills in a demanding marketplace, focusing on high levels of customer service and attention to detail. After a number of successful years in the Shenfield & Brentwood area, Ben joined a hybrid agency in Havering where he gained valuable experience in a fast-moving market. However, the lure of a traditional, personal estate agency closer to home was too good to resist, and the beginning of 2020 saw Ben joining the team at Keith Ashtons'. In his spare time Ben enjoys playing guitar with his band at local pubs and clubs in addition to going to the gym, spending time with friends & family and watching Formula 1.
