Hope Smith

Sales Negotiator

I am the Sales Negotiator for Gloucestershire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. I have recently bought my first home, so I can hopefully offer support to anyone purchasing their home as I know it can be a very daunting process. In my spare time I like to take my dogs Pickles and Bertie on nice walks around our lovely new neighbourhood.

Sara Clifford

Sales Negotiator

I have recently purchased my own shared ownership home and want to help others step onto the property ladder.
I enjoy spending time with my Daughter Mia-Rose, exploring the outdoors and a spot of gardening!!
