    As a property Sales Manager, I have been working for Innovate Estate Agents using a mixture of negotiation, marketing and sales skills. As well as finding new clients and advising them it is the right one for them, I help to control their sale to completion. I also work very closely with other Sales Consultants within our offices to ensure our clients are always satisfied.
    I pride myself on being the following;

Prior to this, I worked in the same field and am pleased to bring my expertise and experience to the market leader in the Sandwell area. The reason I joined Innovate was that it matched my ambition.

    Leanne Woolls/Property Inspector
    I joined Innovate in February 2018 as a property Inspector. Prior to this, I was working in the training industry and working alongside many Estate Agents to support and guide staff through Apprenticeships. I work within the lettings team and the role requires me to book regular inspections to ensure all our managed properties are being adequately maintained. I liaise daily with tenants and landlords and also work alongside the maintenance team to ensure any issues are resolved in a professional and timely manner. I have been able to transfer many skills to the role such as diary management, communication skills, organisational skills, team work and using my own initiative. I have also been able to improve and build on these skills

    I enjoy the role as I find it varied and busy and I thrive within this type of environment. Every day can be different as I visit many properties and communicate with a variety of tenants. I'm learning a great deal about the property industry and look forward to expanding this knowledge and progressing within the role.

    Onkar Sembi/Property Consultant/Valuer
    Before joining Innovate I worked for a local High Street Bank. With 18 years of banking experience I have learnt Customer Service is critical in which ever business you are in. The bank has given me a wealth of knowledge which I am able to transfer into day to day tasks here at Innovate Estate Agents. Since joining the group I have seen the business is growing and really values its customers.

    As a Property Consultant/Valuer I will be the first point of contact and my role is to provide clients with a personalised service to help anyone looking to sell their property from houses, HMOs, commercials etc. I see a number of different styles of properties and reasons for sale, I can accommodate your request in order to help you sell easily.

    Amrit Sawan/Co-Founder
    Coming from a family background of property, I was somewhat familiar with the overall process of buying, selling, renting & development. One issue which triggered me was the services provided from the period of the late 90's moving into the new century. I felt estate agents never progressed into the new age of the digital era. Hence, why I felt the need to Innovate. Together with my fellow co-founder, we established a plan and with sheer determination we are now market leaders in the areas we cover. 

    We also have invested in property development in the local region and work closely with local authorities, in regards to the housing-crisis our region faces. I believe the experience of this puts us directly in the shoes of any vendor or landlord. We know what is required to run efficiently & effectively. We have relayed these work ethics into our team, who now have combined experience of over 60 years.

    During the day-to-day running at Innovate, I partake in general management along with training members of staff to excel their own expectations. We pride ourselves on running a very efficient operation, and I'm a firm believer in three core principles, which we instil in our whole team; Progression, Organisation & Pro-activeness. I'm also from a legal background, which is incredibly helpful in our profession.

    In my spare time, when not busy with the Innovate family, I enjoy reading, travelling and general fitness.

    Steve Sandhu/Co-Founder
    After leaving university, I started my career in 2002 as the property market was booming and I didn't want to miss out. I ventured into Bairstow Eves estate agent as a franchisee, successfully progressing on to opening to a number of cold start branches in and around Sandwell. I also qualified and practiced as a mortgage advisor in early 2004.

    Since deciding to go independent away from the restraints for franchising, we soared in the rental market due to the 2007 recession and impressively transformed and rebranded to the now well-known brand we know as Innovate Estate Agents.

    Moving in to opportunities for development we opened doors to Innovate group development and construction, of which we successfully have our own investment fund which is managed and operated as Innovate.

    Our business ethos is working hard with integrity and persistence to achieve the highest level of service for our clients. My general daily duties involve training staff and overlooking the sales operation of our offices.

      Jack Lawlor
      "I've been buying properties via Innovate since 2012. Always a pleasure to work with, very helpful and friendly staff who simplify the most difficult of situations in buying a house. They always source me a tenant in no time leaving little or no void period after I complete my purchase. I'm yet to complain about any tenant they've found me, although they provide a rent guarantee service. Thanks guys!"

      "I purchased a buy-to-let via Innovate in 2011, who helped me with the renovation to bring it to a rentable standard. They then helped to source me suitable tenants and managed the property in a professional manner. I would like to thank all the staff for their support and guidance and making the journey relatively hassle free. Keep up the great work and look forward to working with you again in the near future."

      Helen
      "We have recently sold 2 properties using Innovate Estate agents in Blackheath. Both properties sold very quickly (within days). We where very pleased with the service we received from the staff at Innovate, we found them to be very responsive throughout the process of finding a buyer. After the initial offers were made, the team then kept us updated weekly with developments throughout the conveyancing process so we always felt that we were not forgotten. A very pro-active friendly service all round. Would recommend to others. "
