    At Alan Hawkins, we are constantly striving to find new ways of providing our clients with the best possible service, getting their properties seen by the widest audience and achieving the best possible price. To achieve this, we invest in additional marketing on 'Rightmove', the nation's number 1 property portal, offering to our clients extra marketing features such as 'Enchanced listings' and 'Featured Property' maximising their property exposure. Our mobile website also makes it easier for buyers to search for property on their smart phones or tablets. Our 'data feeds' to the social networking sites of Facebook and Twitter help notify house buyers of new instructions and price changes almost instantly.

    Steve Hawkins
    Steve was born in 1973 in Royal Wootton Bassett. Having left School Steve went straight into an engineering apprenticeship for a year, before working for a Mortgage broker firm. From there Steve joined Nationwide Building Society and was a Mortgage Underwriter for 10 years. Alan Hawkins Estate Agents expanded in 2005, lead by Steve, to incorporate a residential lettings side of the business in 2005, and since then we have grown from strength to strength, dominating the rental market within our market town and surrounding villages. When Steve is not at work, he likes to fit his time around his wife Christel (who's also in the new homes business) and also his son Theodore who is 2 ½. To wind down he likes to get out and run, play golf at Broome Manor (still trying to get down to a single figure) and get out on the mountain bike in Wales with his mates which is very hard to do these days.
