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.
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.
Consultant – Sales & Lettings
Time at John German? December 2018, although I have been aware of the company for 50 years and am thrilled to have joined the team.
Favourite part of your job? The diversity of property and people along with the management of expectations is the most satisfying part of the job. Probably my favourite part is working with professional people who take their work seriously but are still able to enjoy some fun time.
Top tip for a buyer or seller? The top tip I would give as a seller is to try to choose an agent that has been recommended to you, one you feel you can trust and work with, preferably with a wide knowledge of your local area and has the right connections to ensure that your property is being marketed well – every John German Office will tick those boxes.
Sales Director
stuart.bennet@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? I have managed the Ashbourne branch since 2012 and have been in estate agency since 1999.
The best part of your job? Valuing houses has always been interesting, especially with rural properties. I particularly enjoy organising a successful agency and find it extremely rewarding being able to guide and advise our clients through the marketing of their home.
Sales Manager
marie.sherwin@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? I joined in 2012 as part of the Burton sales team. Since then I have been promoted to Sales Manager in Derby.
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.
Lettings Manager
amanda.sowter@johngerman.co.uk
Time at John German? Having been in the industry since the late 1990’s, including setting up the well-renowned Derby Lettings Agency, Sowter & Brown. I am pleased to be part of the John German team since the merger of both businesses in 2018.
Favourite part of your job? Every day is a new challenge. Keep calm and laugh a lot. In our office there is a good deal of laughter.
Top tip for tenant or landlord? Try not to leave problems to fester, whether you’re a tenant or a landlord communicate the problem at an early stage. As an agent I am always happy to help resolve any issues.
What would be your dream home? Love this, but again will date Currently I am looking forward to living in a house that has not been custom designed by a thirteen-week-old puppy. Actually, that’s just not true, I love my home just as it is.
