Theresa

Senior Sales Progressor

Theresa has worked for Ferris & Co for 15 years and has gained invaluable experience during this time. Theresa was promoted to senior sales progressor in 2021, taking overall responsibility for all sales with Ferris & Co working with a small team of colleagues, giving our clients clear and concise appraisals of the selling process from the inception of a sale to completion.

The process can be stressful and her calm demeanour is a perfect trait for this challenging role. Theresa is a highly valued member of staff and diligent worker, popular with clients and work colleagues alike.

In her spare time, Theresa likes socialising with friends and family and country walks with her two dogs, Nellie & Peggy.

Tim

Viewing Coordinator

Although Tim has not been involved in Estate Agency for long, he was from 1976 up to 2022 involved in conveyancing as a qualified Legal Executive in the residential sector having worked for several local Solicitors and in London. Obviously during that time, he had connections with other bodies which were part of the conveyancing process including Estate Agents especially Ferris and Co where he acted for many Clients of the Company.

Tim assists in showing our potential buyers around properties we have for sale and is involved in the negotiating of transactions. He really enjoys meeting with people and with his many years in the legal profession can help them through the ups and downs of moving house. He is able to help them prepare and take them through the various steps concisely with the aim to lead them to a successful sale or purchase.

Tim has been involved in local church and leadership especially pastoral care. He enjoys sport and food although perhaps the two do not go together as his love for sport is more watching than participating! He is married and has two grown up children who are also both involved in retail.
