Estate agent to take on up to 90 more advisers
Share
Charles Haresnape, group mortgage services director at Connells, is looking to boost the estate agent’s mortgage division and recruit up to 90 mortgage advisers.
Haresnape, formerly managing director of Bank of Scotland Mortgages, joined Connells in 2006 to set up telephone-based mortgage broking service Mortgages By Phone.
Mortgages By Phone was merged into Connells’ other broking operations in December 2009.
Haresnape says Connells saw a 10% increase in house sales in January and that it is optimistic for 2010.
He says: “We currently employ around 260 mortgage advisers and plan to recruit up to 50 more by the end of February and another 40 by the end of Q2 2009.”
Connells is due to announce its group profits in the next couple of weeks, which Haresnape says will be “impressive”.
