Professionals Real Estate Building

I am Torbay born and bred. I grew up in these streets, I know every shortcut, and I understand the unique character of our coastal neighborhoods. When I talk to you about the local market, it isn’t from a script—it’s from a lifetime of living and working right here in the English Riviera.

 

For nearly 10 years, I have been immersed in the world of buying and letting properties. I’ve seen the market’s highs and lows, navigated complex legislation changes, and helped countless individuals find their perfect homes or secure their investments. My experience means I don’t just list properties; I strategize to get the best results for my clients.

  • Extensive experience across buying and letting properties
  • Proven strategies to maximise client property outcomes

The Torbay Estates Difference

Most estate agents just call a contractor and pass the bill (plus a markup) to the landlord. We do things differently. Because of my background in the trades, I understand repairs better than any “high street” agent. While I’ve stepped back from the tools full-time, I am still able to oversee and carry out essential repairs at unbeatable rates.
