Hi, I'm Stephen Bushell

I have been working in Estate Agency since Maggie Thatcher left Downing Street and when the World Wide Web was invented (1989/1990). The challenge and passion for helping people in one of what can be the most stressful times of their lives, is what I love about doing the job and every day is different. After 25/30 years of corporate agency I wanted to work for a company that was not so focused on market share and KPI’s. I love one summer and one skiing holiday a year and have recently found a passion for woodworking and creations, as well as an addiction to Freecycle. I am a fan of  Charlton Athletic so have the joy of not being disappointed, as I have no expectations.

Facts about me

  • My curly hair is all my own and NOT a perm
  • I am one of the taller agents you’ll meet
  • My garage is full of stuff I will ‘eventually’ upcycle
  • I have both bungee jumped and tandem sky dived (just the once though!)

I have lived in the Ukraine all my life except for the last year when I moved to the UK. Since 2012 I have worked in real estate in Kyiv and sold properties worth $6,1 million within 2 years.

Hi, I'm Keira Joyce

Since a young age I've been passionate about horse riding, spending countless hours perfecting my skills and enjoying the freedom it brings. I love socializing with my friends, whether we're out on the town or just catching up over coffee. My trusty Fiat 500 is my constant companion, zipping me from one adventure to the next. On nights out, I'm known for my playful antics, often rolling around on the floor in fits of laughter, which has become a bit of a signature move among my friends. At 5 foot 2, I'm the second smallest in our office, but my bubbly personality more than makes up for my petite stature.

  • I have 3 horses
  • My signature dish is a pot noodle
  • I have done a bricklaying course
  • I love getting my nails done
  • Going on holidays is my favourite thing to do

Kasia Face

Hi, I'm Kasia Kepa

Hi, I'm Kasia Kepa!

My full name is Katarzyna, but everyone calls me Kasia. It's much easier to say.

I came from Poland for just 6 months to work on my language skills, and fast forward 20 years, I am still here!  Half my heart belongs to Poland, and the other half belongs here. My work background is in property management and customer service, and I absolutely thrive in a people-filled environment.

I'm incredibly lucky to have an amazing family, and my sister is not just family but also my best friend. She knows me better than anyone else.

Facts about me

  • I'm a huge cat lover, especially of my two furballs, Zuzu and Rafael. They've taught me so much about independence, love, and they sure know how to be funny!
  • One of my favourite quotes is, "When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind." I truly think the world could use a lot more kindness these days.
  • Fashion and interior design really get me excited. I've got loads of albums dedicated to these topics, and I can spend hours diving into them.
  • Biographies and documentaries are my jam. I find so much inspiration and guidance from the lives and histories of others.
  • I'm still in awe of how often British folks "put the kettle on" throughout the day
