BACKGROUND
Andrew
says!
“I am obsessed
with houses and in the last 20 years I have seen all different
market conditions, met all different types of buyers from
the poorest to the richest, met all types of sellers with
all different kinds of attitudes, met all different kinds
of estate agents, some great, some absolutely awful! Sold
luxury homes, dream homes, derelict farm buildings, homes
in scary areas, homes burnt down, new homes, 400 year old
houses and empty land – That’s why I have the
confidence to really say I
do know what I am talking about when it comes to houses!!!!”
Andrew started his
career in estate agency at the tender age of 17 and sold his
first home within a mater of months. His career started with
a Bristol based agency
who gave him terrific house sales skills. After that another
few years were spent at a firm of Chartered Surveyors fine
tuning his house selling skills, but combining it with inside
knowledge of construction, structural issues, building faults
and problems. Continuing from that Andrew spent many years
working in The Cotswold’s, selling country cottages,
derelict barns, and never went anywhere without a pair of
wellies in the boot!
To expand his career
further he made the big move to London
and spent a few years in Central London selling apartments
and townhouses in the famous Baker Street / Oxford Street / Regents Park areas.
For around
8 years Andrew was a partner and worked in the exciting Canary
Wharf area of London, involved with property investments, property management,
sales and new developments - even furnishing homes for clients!
The last year in
the UK was spent as a Consultant for a newly created
Estate Agency in Kent
, overseeing business development, helping sellers get their
homes sold and working with the staff and managers to build
up their brand.
Five years ago his
career gained an added angle - he was chosen to present and
research a new TV programme about his favourite subject “Selling
Houses”. Over the last 5 years this programme
has gone from strength to strength with the current series
hitting viewing figures in the UK of between 2.5 –
3 million! Andrew's television progarmme gets aired all across
