Our father, Alan Hawkins, brought vast experience to the local real estate market before his passing in 2015. Since 1983, he managed two estate agent offices in the town, having already accumulated over 10 years of experience in Swindon before settling in Royal Wootton Bassett.
Alan left us with a strong legacy, and it is our mission, as a family, to continue running the business with the same passion, enthusiasm, and dedication that he embodied every day.
We take pride in carrying on this tradition. Today, we remain Royal Wootton Bassett's leading estate agent, driven by the same values that guided our father.
To commemorate 20 years in business, we’ve designed a new company logo featuring a poppy. This symbolizes our deep roots in the community and serves as a tribute to our father, Alan.
Our team is family-led, with Janet (Mum) as Managing Director, and brothers Stephen, Paul, Kevin, and Christopher as Company Directors. Supporting them are our dedicated team members: Emma, Rachel, Dawn, Tracy, John, Margaret & Carol.
When visiting our Residential Sales Department on the ground floor, you’ll be greeted by Paul, Chris, Dawn, Rachel & John. For the Residential Lettings Department upstairs, Stephen, Kevin, Emma or Tracy will be ready to assist you.
At our office, we believe in providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere where clients receive consistent, personalized service from a familiar team—without the worry of high staff turnover.
For us, property sales and management are more than just a business—it’s our way of life.
