I always wanted to be an estate agent and remember when I was in school the careers guidance teacher was going around the class asking everyone what they wanted to be. Class mates were saying things like ‘doctor’, ‘lawyer’, ‘marine biologist’ etc – when I said ‘estate agent’, she just looked at me in a mysterious way ... I am not sure why, because I think it is the best job in the world! – I have now been an estate agent for over 20 years and in that time have had the privilege of selling and renting some phenomenal properties. I worked in Belgravia, Chelsea & Kensington for many years before setting up Gardiner Residential with Emma. Together, I think we make a good team and because we have the same goals and business ethics, I like to think we offer our clients a different bespoke service that is established on ‘old school’ business principles of professionalism, customer service and integrity.

I just love properties! – When I was young and went on play dates, I always used to be interested in the homes and how they lived. I was born and bred in Ealing and attend St Saviour’s school where my children also went. I have only ever had one career and without giving my age away, started ‘many moons’ ago working for a local Ealing agent. After a year I moved to a large corporate estate agency where I worked in various office from Chiswick, Putney, Tower Bridge, and mostly in Little Venice/St John’s Wood where I managed one of their highest fee earning offices. I also used to train all new staff joining the company and was very much on the ‘corporate career ladder’. After having children, Ian and I decided we should open our own agency and my dream was to do it in Ealing. It really was a no brainer, all my corporate estate agency experience and Ian’s independent smaller agency experience meant we could take the best of both and bring a boutique style independent estate agency to Ealing – one where I would bump into my clients in Waitrose and feel proud that I have helped them buy, sell or rent their property.
