Time at John German? I have been here since 2005.
Where is your favourite place in Ashby? What I love about Ashby is the fabulous range of period buildings tucked in and around the town. We really do have a bit of every era!
I’m a fan of Georgian buildings, their architecture and especially those grand imposing entrance doors.
Favourite part of your job? From the initial stages of meeting a client and hearing their personal story and why their home is important to them all the way through to seeing a sold sign appearing on their for sale board.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Always view a house, don’t dismiss it ‘online’
What would be your dream home? Cottage by the sea in North Devon.
Sales Manager
Time at John German? I’ve been with John German since 2001, working my way up from part-time Sales Negotiator to Sales Manager.
Where is your favourite place in Ashby? My favourite place is the Sensory Flower Garden planted by Ashby Spa W.I. Being at the top of Market Street, and just a short distance from work, the garden is a really nice place to take a break and watch the world go by.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Buyers and sellers speak to a financial advisor to get some advice before beginning your search for a new home. Avoid exchanging telephone numbers with each other, go through the estate agent with any queries.
Senior Sales Negotiator
marie.sherwin@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? I have been with John German, working with the Burton and Derby teams since 2012 and I am now Senior Sales Negotiator at the Ashby branch.
Favourite part of your job? Handing over the keys to the buyers on competition day. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the excitement people have on moving day.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Be prepared way in advance of making an offer to help speed up the sales process and to avoid any unnecessary delays. You will save valuable time by sorting out finances before you start looking for a new home. Speaking to an independent mortgage advisor is worth doing to find out how much you can afford and whether your mortgage application is likely to be accepted. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, it is also a good time to be legally ready by instructing a solicitor early on, in anticipation of an offer being accepted, and gathering up paperwork in advance.
Sales Progressor
Time at John German? I joined John German in 2017 and having worked within the property industry since 1999 as a Senior Sales Negotiator and Property Valuer.
Favourite part of your job? Giving people the news we have exchanged and completed on the sale of their property and handing the keys over to excited buyers.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Make sure your solicitor and estate agent keep in regular contact with all parties.
What would be your dream home? A modern property with views over the beach and a swimming pool for the kids, oh and maybe with a hot tub and gym.
Lettings Director
Time at John German? Since 1995 but with 3 years off for good behaviour!
Favourite part of your job? Going out to meet landlords and gaining their confidence to instruct us…. And then finding them the perfect tenant!
Top tip for a landlord? Only buy a property to let in an area you would live!
What would be your dream home? A grand design home with full height windows overlooking countryside.
Property Manager
Time at John German? I joined John German at the beginning of 2019, having been working in property management since 2012.
Best part of your job? Resolving an issue for a tenant/landlord such as a repair.
Top tip for a landlord? Always have an inventory!
What would be your dream home? A Georgian villa with plenty of original features.
Accompanied Viewing Representative
Favourite part of your job? Meeting new people and helping them find the property of their dreams.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Try to imagine the house without the owners furniture there, think of it empty.
Where is your favourite place in Ashby? My favourite place in Ashby is all the little tucked away side streets, giving the local community great choices from the boutiques to fabulous beauticians.
What would be your dream home? Large house with a swimming pool.
Accompanied Viewing Representative
Time at John German? I started here in January 2019.
The best part of your job? Potentially unlocking the door to people’s futures.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Buyer: Try to establish what type of home you are really looking for and research exactly where you want to live. Seller: Declutter. Remove everything you will get rid of after you sell and depersonalise wherever possible, this will help make it easier for buyers to imagine themselves living in the house.
What would be your dream home? A period stone cottage in the Cotswolds.
