Otley-born Helen Jackson’s been promoted to sales manager at the town’s Bondgate office of Dacre, Son & Hartley.
Helen joined the company as a sales negotiator three years ago and brought more than a decade’s worth of property experience to the role, having worked for several other estate agents in the Wharfe Valley.
She said: “As an independent and longstanding Yorkshire based business, we have an unrivalled reputation in Otley and always recognise that every property buyer and seller is unique, with their own individual requirements, which is key to our success.
“We’re also fortunate to work in a vibrant and very popular town with a thriving property market. In recent years we’ve seen an influx of buyers from outside the area, including several buyers relocating from the south of England, and few people move out of Otley once they’re here!
“The market is gaining momentum as we head into spring and we’re currently preparing to launch a variety of properties, across all price bands, in the coming weeks. Ultimately well-presented properties that are accurately priced will sell and that’s where an estate agent with strong local knowledge will really add value.”
Director Tim Usherwood, who heads up Dacres’ Otley office, said: “Helen has lived in Otley her whole life and knows the area inside out. This knowledge combined with her ability to always go the extra mile for clients, makes her a very good estate agent and she thoroughly deserves this promotion.”
