      PHILLIP SANDBACH, DIRECTOR & VALUER 
      Time at John German? Joined John German in 1998 at the Burton office and have worked in estate agency since leaving school. 

      Favourite part of your job ? We sell properties but this business is all about people, working with our clients to achieve a sale and seeing them move home gives me tremendous satisfaction, more so, if difficulties have to be overcome along the way. 

      T op tip for buyer or seller? Seller: Do your research on estate agents before instructing one, it's not all about a low fee! Buyer: Yes buy with your head but let your heart have a say too! 

      What's your dream home? A contemporary glass and steel home overlooking an estuary.

      JAMES SYKES PROPERTY VALUER
      What is your experience? I started in estate agency in 2014 after graduating from University and have never looked back.

      The best part of your job? Putting a deal together that our clients are happy with and when a plan comes together.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? My top tip for a seller would be to de-personalise, clean and tidy your house as much as possible ready for marketing and viewings. I always say that if you were going to sell your car, you would wash it, wax it, polish it, the same applies (if not more) to your house!

      Dream Home: Stone cottage in the country with a log burner, large garden and vegetable plot.

      EMMA HARRISON, SALES MANAGER 
      Favourite part of your job ? I love everything about my job from meeting new people to agreeing sales. The best thing is seeing the smiles on clients faces and knowing we have done our job!

      Top tip for buyer or seller? For buyers- don't discount properties by photos, go and view as your thoughts can soon change and you might be surprised. For sellers - choose an agent with a great reputation, great local knowledge and will provide you with the highest level of customer service and of course that means choosing John German! 

      What would be your dream home? A detached home with a fabulous modern living kitchen and great outdoor space to entertain from.

      LYDIA WORMALD, SALES NEGOTIATOR 
      What is your experience? I have always had a passion for property, before this role, I worked for a property management company. I have only recently started my new venture in Estate Agency.

      The best part of your job? I love building relationships with both vendors and buyers. Selling or buying a property is probably one of the most stressful things you will ever do, but I love being able to help and be part of this process, to make it as less stressful as possible.

      Top tip for buyer or seller? Buyers- to speak to a mortgage advisor as soon as you start your search and get your agreement in principle. This will put you in such a better position for when you find your dream home.

      Dream Home: It has to be a big modern house, near the sea, with lots of land around to fill with as many animals as possible.
