The age-old saying that people buy from people is never truer than in property. At Penfolds, we know we are good estate agents, but what makes us tick and what got us here today forms who we are and how we successfully sell your property.
Above all, Penfolds is more than just a business to us. It’s the culmination of more than three decades of experience. Both of us, Becky and Helen, have served our time in ‘corporate’ estate agencies. Together we’ve spent over thirty years in the real estate industry. During that time, we’ve learned how to present and market properties and negotiate and close a sale. But, those are just practicalities. Above all, we’ve learned that selling a residential property can be done differently and better! It’s a matter of putting people first. And that’s how Penfolds began.
Forging relationships is very much at the heart of our business. From the outset, we’ve focussed on client service backed up by our strong family values, and we continue to do so. We get results because we recognise the unique opportunity we have to change people’s lives. It’s that human connection that we have chosen to make a cornerstone of our business.
In short, you can trust us to make lasting property matches for buyers, sellers and investors alike.
Becky began her career as a professional photographer. While you won’t find her behind the camera today, her exacting eye for the important detail still allows her to present your home to a prospective buyer in the very best way.
In 2006, Becky joined Burns & Webber, where she developed her genuine passion for helping people and gained a reputation for an honest, no-nonsense approach along the way. She eventually joined Curchods Estate Agents, where she set up and ran the Business Development department.
This proactive role required Becky to lead and implement initiatives that would have a beneficial effect not just for the company; but also for the entire local real estate market. She credits this experience as a factor in her ongoing ability to look at the bigger picture when considering the best outcome for sellers.
Becky’s vast experience has equipped her with the knowledge to market your property successfully, allowing you to take the next steps on your property journey.
Helen began her real estate journey at Hamptons International. She spent almost a decade here, and her career within the company culminated as manager of the prestigious Shad Thames office. After this, Helen was headhunted to set up a brand new office for JLL in the major London regeneration zone of Nine Elms. Here, she developed a firm understanding of the new homes market to accompany her already extensive track record in the second-hand market.
Helen has helped buyers, sellers, and property investors navigate the highs and lows of the property market throughout her career, including through the 2008 economic crisis. Steering sellers on a successful course to their end goal is still something she puts at the heart of every transaction.
