Joanne Wade DipREA FNAEA MARLA

Joanne Wade commenced her career with M.Coleman Estate Agents in January 2000 in the Kingswood Office as a sales progression and administrative co-ordinator, later that year a negotiating position became available and with her enthusiasm and passion for the industry was promoted to Senior Negotiator. Joanne states "I have always believed in offering the highest quality of service and one that our clients deserve. To put M.Coleman ahead of the rest, it is necessary to fully understand the business and be compliant with legislation. The ethos behind M.Coleman Estate Agents has also always been for the directors to lead from the front and that is why it is essential for me to continue to take a very active part in all the day to day activities of the business, including carrying out Sales and Lettings Market Appraisals, viewings and all other client contact. ." She also promotes the pursuit of excellence in all her staff and she gained her professional qualifications in 2005 when she successfully passed her Diploma in Residential Property through The Manchester Open Learning and continues her studies for The Diploma in Residential Lettings.

This hard work and dedication saw her career progress from Branch Manager to Managing Director and Joanne sucessfully took over the business from founder Maria Coleman in February 2017. She combines this busy role as a professional business woman with that of her family role with her husband and two boys. Joanne says "I believe this gives me the edge in the industry, I totally understand the stress involved for families whether selling or buying or renting - seeking the right property for their family in the right location and at the right price can be very stressful. It is our job at M.Coleman to help everyone through this difficult process." Joanne's view on good business practice in that it is quality not quantity that matters, resulting in M Coleman Estate Agents being one of the few Independent companies in the area celebrating over 28 years in business.

Look no further if you are considering a move

hi i would like to start by saying that we have used m coleman for three house sales, my late fathers, my brothers and now ours.we have always found them to be honest polite and very efficient. we put our bungalow on the market about 15 months ago(although this seems a long time , there were many factors that delayed us in completing, we actually sold it a number of times but were unfortunately let down at the last minute by one buyer, and then we resold and covid and other reasons got in the way!!). throughout this Joanne, Ben, and Louise. were always trying there utmost for us. after our last sale fell through i contacted Joanne on the Wednesday and whilst i was on the line Louise was straight on the phone to potential buyers arranging viewings. this resulted in the couple that have now moved in to our old property viewing and making us an offer within 2 days!! they have now moved in and are very happy(so Louise Ben and Joanne are ultimately responsible for them getting the home that they wanted). We would definately recommend M Coleman, and thanks once again to the team there for all they have done for us. we would not hesitate in using them, so Look no further if you are considering a house move. Di & John

Testimonials from Buyers

Buyer Testimonial

committed to going above and beyond

I purchased a house through M Coleman and sold my property through another local branch of a well known chain of estate agencies. The difference between the two is stark. ...MoreI purchased a house through M Coleman and sold my property through another local branch of a well known chain of estate agencies. The difference between the two is stark.The staff at the branch are extremely friendly and helpful, and despite a particularly complex purchase they were fantastic throughout the whole experience and did a lot of the chasing of my sale end of the chain which would of otherwise have been expected of my own estate agent who were not in the slightest bit interested. Ben deserves a particular shout out for his dedicated help going above and beyond during this process for hunting down information from elsewhere.Towards the end they were even committed to going above and beyond, in an untraditional way to ensure the purchase went through successfully at a crunch point. You won't get that level of personal service from the big chains and it was a gesture very appreciated by myself and I'm sure my sellers too. I won't be moving in a hurry but if I need to sell in the area I will certainly be in touch with M Coleman to use their services. Michael Wilcox July 2018

whole process much easier and stress free

To Ben, Thank you so much for all your help and hard work in helping us buy our first home! You've made the whole process much easier and stress free!

Buyer Testimonial

Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

I would 100% recommend M Coleman Estate Agents. We had been looking for our first property for a while, meeting a number of Estate Agents in the area and Jacob at M Coleman was by far the best. Not only has he kept us informed every step of the way, but he's also made us feel really at ease with buying our first home. I can't speak highly enough of Jacob and the team! Thank you so much.

Laura H
Buyer Testimonial

routinely went above and beyond

We purchased our new home through M Coleman's and they helped us navigate what was a stressful process for us. They routinely went above and beyond to help us in any way they could. They provided regular updates and were quick to respond to queries. Above all they were a friendly voice on the end of the phone helping and advising what to do next and how to resolve the countless problems we ran into with solicitors. We would recommend then to anyone, and we will be using them to sell the property (if we ever move out!).
