Meet The Team
Kristen
I am obsessed with houses. I love their character, their uniqueness, their quirks, their stories. Old or new, apartments or mansions – you name it, I’m interested.
Since buying my first house back in 2010, I’ve moved a total of 13 times. I’m sure your jaw has just dropped in disbelief...
For me, moving is just the most exciting and exhilarating feeling. Each purchase unlocks the door to a new adventure, a new place to put your stamp on, a blank canvas to decorate. You probably think I’m mad right about now, and maybe you’re right…. but I adore moving home, I love the possibilities of what’s behind the door, and the joy of creating my own little haven.
Over the course of these many moves, it was obvious to me that something is missing from the current estate agency market… small-scale agents who care, agents who are invested in your (pretty big) life investment, and agents who have the focus to assist and advise at every step of the way – not losing interest once your offer is accepted.
The idea of Your Place simmered away in my mind. And this year, I’ve finally decided to bring this dream to reality.
That’s all very well, but what gives me the creds to help?
Well, other than my first-hand experience of the buying and selling process, I’m also highly experienced in business. For the last 12 years, I’ve worked in both Marketing and Project Management functions, and have significant knowledge of brand planning, insight delivery, and marketing activation and execution, teamed with excellent organisation skills and meticulous planning. I’m also highly approachable and people-centric, so can help to ease the stress of your house sale, or purchase.
Sonia
Sonia is my Mum. She’s my right-hand woman in this venture, and she’s a bit obsessed with houses too, so that’s a bonus.
Sonia also has her fair share of property experience over the years, most recently fully renovating a dilapidated mansion in the Gower and restoring it to its former beauty. A challenging project at the best of times, but one that this absolute force of nature managed to deliver throughout lockdown.
Sonia’s commercial background is also in business, having worked up the ladder in Sales, culminating in her becoming CEO of her own successful laminate firm in South Wales. Mum is commercially-astute and has the drive and tenacity to push your purchase, or sale along!
