Guernsey estate agent makes move to Jersey

Monday 29 October 2018

Livingroom Estate Agents has officially opened in Jersey on Green Street, becoming the first pan-Channel Island residential estate agent.

Founded in Guernsey in 2006, CEO Simon Torode now says that the time is right to expand in Jersey.

Mr Torode said: “The decision to expand is not one we’ve taken lightly. We researched the Jersey market extensively and firmly believe that our focus on client service and dedication to marketing property in an innovative way will add something to the Jersey market.”

The agency is based at Channel House on Green Street, with a team of seven professionals in place including estate agents, a group financial controller and a dedicated in-house creative.

Mr Torode moved to Jersey to establish the agency’s presence on the island and manage recruitment and growth.

“Our model is to grow Livingroom organically in Jersey, just as we did in Guernsey, and cement the business’ position as the Channel Island estate agent. Key to our ethos is our emphasis on quality creative marketing and our in-house creative talent really sets us apart from our competitors across the islands," he explained.

He added that the company's "ultimate aim" was to “bring inspiration to the Jersey property market."

"Moving home is one of the most exciting things you can do so the process should be enjoyable, not torturous. We’ve taken the first step to achieving this by putting a knowledgeable and ethical team in place who will work hard to understand what clients want and deliver on those requirements. We’re bringing quality and carefully considered customer service back to the Jersey property market.”
