Time at John German? Joined John German in 1998 at the Burton office and have worked in estate agency since leaving school.
Best part of your job? We sell properties but this business is all about people, working with our clients to achieve a sale and seeing them move home gives me tremendous satisfaction, more so, if difficulties have to be overcome along the way.
Top tip for buyer or seller? Seller: Do your research on estate agents before instructing one, it’s not all about a low fee! Buyer: Yes buy with your head but let your heart have a say too!
What would be your dream home? A contemporary glass and steel home overlooking an estuary.

Favourite part of your job? Having positive feedback from a happy seller or buyer and experiencing their excitement when the sale completes.

Sales Progressor
charlotte.hardy@johngerman.co.uk
Top tip for buyer or seller? Buyer: Try to go in with an open mind, imagine a blank canvas and visualise your belongings by looking past the possessions already in the property. Think about how you can make it your own home. Seller: Don’t be disheartened if after a viewing people don’t want to proceed. The right buyer will come along! Try to keep the house as minimalistic as possible to help people see the room and space better.
What would be your dream home? Somewhere around the south coast with a sea view. One day maybe!

Time at John German? I started working at John German in 2014.
Favourite part of your job? Dealing with a wide variety of people and helping them find a new home.
Top tip for buyer or seller? To ensure you don’t miss out on any new properties or price reductions sign up for JG Property Alerts, we will keep you posted before they go on Rightmove!
What would be your dream home? Ideally a modern, one of a kind property in a bustling city.
Sales Negotiator
Favourite part of your job? I enjoy the many varied aspects of my job, but the most satisfying of all is working closely with our customers to understand their needs to help find their dream home.
Top tip for buyer or seller? If you are looking to buy, it is essential to seek financial advice before you go out on viewings – getting a mortgage can be one of the biggest challenges when it comes to buying a property and it’s good to know that you can afford something before you fall in love with it. When selling, choose your agent carefully – a low fee may be attractive but having an agent that keeps you updated and works with you every step of the way can take a lot of stress out of the process and be worth every penny.
What would be your dream home? A spacious country cottage on the coast, within easy walking distance of the beach.
