ABOUT OUR

ESTATE AGENTS

Devenports started with a pledge to offer a truly unique and ethical service that puts the customer at the forefront of everything we do. We set out to create an estate agency that stepped away from the traditional ‘shiny suit, red tie’ approach that often over-promises and under-delivers, and designed new-to-market, cutting-edge practices that benefit our buyers and sellers before all else, and an ethos with honesty and transparency at the core.

With 47 years of agency experience in the team, Devenports provides results-driven estate agent services with a customer-first approach that is genuinely unrivalled by our competitors.

OUR EXPERTS

Aaron

Baxter

co-owner

Aaron brings 12 years of estate agency experience to Devenports, with £35 million of property transactions overseen by him in the past year alone. Throughout his career, he has consistently established himself as the top biller in his organisations, with a background including working for London’s largest agency, where he turned down a seat on the board of Directors in order to co-create his own bespoke estate agency with an equal focus on ethical conduct and results. Aaron is passionate about driving change in what he considers to be a very dated industry that has not progressed with the times. He believes clearer communication and transparency with buyers and sellers is essential to achieve more, the right way.

James

Cottee

CO-OWNER

James is a driven commercial professional keen to make an impact in his local postcode and introduce a more ethical approach to estate agencies. With over £200 million of revenue generated to date, James’ background experience includes the property market, leading a commercial team in a leading UK media agency, and driving partnerships for the likes of Chelsea Football Club, Team Great Britain, and the Football Association. James is passionate about revolutionising the old-fashioned estate agent industry and putting faith back into buyers and sellers with a customer-first approach.

Jemima

Hogg

LOCAL EXPERT

Born and raised in Twickenham & Hampton, Jemima has a lifetime of true local experience. In just five short years, Jemima has made a tremendous impact within the local property market in both the sales & lettings markets, and it is without question that she displays levels of deal making and property experience far beyond her years. With a detailed and considered approach, Jemima prides herself on her ability to solve complex transactional issues and resolve lengthy chains, and she is perhaps most appreciated by the buying and selling public for her excellent deal management skills. We could not be prouder to have Jemima among the team; she is truly an individual that “lives and breathes” property.

Nina

Gallagher

SPECIALIST EXCHANGE CO-ORDINATOR

Without question Nina, is one of the leading industry talents within her field and we are truly blessed as a business to have her among our ranks, whilst heading up our sales / lettings progression department. Sales progression within the agency industry is often under resourced, understaffed and very much undertrained. Devenports have employed Nina to be the antidote to this and provided her all of the resources she requires. With this Nina has utilised her 20+ years of experience to streamline the sales process and bring our average exchange time to just 7 weeks versus an industry average over 20 weeks.
