Having lived in and around Reading all my life and being educated at the local Theale Green Comprehensive, I started with Parkers Reading in 1978 and moved through the ranks covering areas from Thatcham up to Langley eventually entering management in 1985 and then enjoyed a year off in 1989/90 to broaden my horizons and travel the world. Recharged, I rejoined the company with the endeavour to start my own business. I purchased the first franchise of Tilehurst in 1999, Burghfield Common followed swiftly in 2001 and opened Theale in 2013. Now residing with my wife and two daughters in Spencers Wood with my interests being golf, following football and I have recently started training for a bike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2016 for charity.

Having worked in the property industry for over 16 years, I am now a veteran of a recession and have seen the property market change drastically. I embrace new technologies and quickly adapt to the ever changing way in which properties are marketed. However, I still believe that knowledge, honest communication and good customer service skills are the key to being a market leading estate agent. Having used my experience to become the Tadley branch manager in March 2016, I am proud to have led a team that has quickly and continually been the best performing estate agent in the RG26 area. Out of work I enjoy spending time with my family and being the best father I can to my daughter, Amelia and Son, Ronnie.

Having worked in the property industry for nearly 20 years, I have gained extensive experience in both Residential Sales and Lettings. Beginning my career in Newbury, most of my local market knowledge comes from my time working in Burghfield and Mortimer, joining the Parkers team in 2017 before my recent move to the Tadley branch. I take a dedicated and proactive approach to my role as Lettings Manager to ensure that our Landlords properties are let quickly, to tenants that respect their homes and though regular inspections and communication I ensure that their investments are maintained to the highest of standards. Outside of work, I like to travel and spending my free time with my grandchildren.

I have a long history in Estate Agency, having managed my own branch in Oxfordshire before having children. I initially returned part time to Agency 9 years ago, focusing on sales and sales progression for Parkers in Burghfield and I have very much enjoyed the return to full time agency, 3 years ago when joining the Tadley office. My philosophy on what makes for a successful Estate Agency is very much centred on customer care, taking time to establish and match buyers needs to the right property. Attention to detail and keeping vendors and purchasers fully informed is an absolute priority and having built up a considerable amount of experience over the years I enjoy tackling any complications that may arise. Out of work, I am a very hospitable person and enjoy cooking and entertaining the family.

Before becoming an estate agent, I ran my own Leisure and Hospitality business, during which I gained sales experience when I was involved in the development of a unique product for that industry. My curiosity in property began in 2016 when I tried to sell my own home and unfortunately my estate agent did not meet my expectations and I felt that with my sales experience I could provide a better service. Having now worked as an estate agent for nearly a year in Berkshire and Oxfordshire, I am pleased to bring my knowledge to the team in Tadley and I am looking forward to using my skills to assist people find a property to buy or rent.

Sebastian joins us with 10 years experience in the property industry with much of his time spent working in the local area for several estate agents including Savills. Sebastian's role for Parkers is possibly one of the most important, as a sales progressor. Once a sale has been agreed Sebastian will ensure that regular contact is kept between both the buyer and seller with regular updates. Communication between solicitors and clients is pivotal for any transaction to run smoothly and Sebastian is there to advise you along the way. Sebastian has a calm approach and using his wealth of knowledge is able to offer solutions & advice to most situations during the buying or selling process. Having recently been married to his wife Gemma and the birth of their baby girl Sofia, Sebastian enjoys nothing more than spending time with his family or perhaps a game of football if he has time.
