Former professional rugby player James Black has joined the Harrogate-based North Residential estate agency as a consultant focusing on prestige properties.
Harlan Pollitt, a founding Director at North Residential, said: “James has a formidable track record, and he is undoubtedly a major asset for the business as we continue our drive to expand across Yorkshire and beyond.
“A considerable part of our portfolio is high end properties with clients that need discretion from knowledgeable and well-connected experts that have an ear to the ground. To this end we are focusing our recruitment drive in attracting the best people in the business.”
James said: “Having spent many years cultivating contacts and a strong reputation, predominantly through friendships and recommendations, it is critical that I align with likeminded people that I can trust to deliver a first-class service for my clients.
“North Residential is growing at an exponential rate, with a relatively young team and a new dynamic that is taking the market by storm, and I am excited to be a part of that.”
