Back in the late 1990s, I once sat at a kitchen table with a couple in their seventies on a free val.
They were selling the family home they had lived in for over forty years.
As we went thru the paperwork, the husband kept stopping to tell me stories ...
about Christmas mornings with their children, about the tree they planted in the garden, about the neighbours who became lifelong friends.
When the time came to hand over the keys for viewings, his hands shook.
He wasn’t just leaving a house, he was leaving a lifetime.
That’s the part people forget about estate agency.
Behind every transaction is a story, often deeply personal, and you are the one trusted to guide it to the next chapter.
It is a privilege, and it is never just about bricks & mortar.
