We are a real-estate agent covering the Docklands, Royal Dock and East London areas. We provide rentals, sales, property management and mortgage services. Our experienced team have a combined industry experience of over fifty years and it is through this experience that we try and eliminate all the usual problems associated with property related transactions.
Welcome.
I first established in the East London area in 1993. Having worked for a number of leading local estate agents, I simply thought that I could offer a better service. Since our humble beginnings, we have grown to become a very well respected company. In many respects we are pioneers and our innovative approach and ideas are often imitated. I believe that our growth is due to the fact that I employ the best people and always put our clients first. In addition I always strive to be ahead of the latest legislation and aim to integrate good old-fashioned values with the very latest in technology.
Unlike many of my competitors I do not hide behind a corporate façade and I acknowledge that the buck stops with me! I am always contactable at [email protected] for any comments that you may have about our service.
