Neil Sutherland

I started in estate agency back in 1985 and have loved every minute of it.

My belief is that this is a people orientated business and that we hold a position of trust and responsibility for those clients we act on behalf of and to the public that contact and deal with our business.

I believe in the local community and feel that we have an obligation to be an active part in helping it thrive, without them we have no business and in truth there are more important things than money.

My hope and aim is that the badge of The BHEAA is held in high esteem by the public and that member firms will be honest, open, and act with integrity and transparency.

Good luck with your move.
