Why Rob
Rob Taylor has spent 30 years working in North East property. He’s not been behind a desk delegating his client list, but out valuing homes, walking buyers through viewings, and negotiating chains through to completion himself.
Where some agents send a rotating cast of junior staff, Rob is the one person you’ll actually deal with, from the first market appraisal to completion.
