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!)
