Ashley Rolfe MNAEA MARLA

I have ‘lived’ property for pretty much my whole life. My grandparents were house builders, and I remember walking around potential properties in the sixties as a primary school child, feeling that buildings could have more character and that where and how you lived had such a massive effect on your outlook. That, alongside going to primary school in Ealing and Secondary school in Acton, west London property, was destined to be my path.

I started Rolfe East in the eighties with a philosophy around excellent client services externally and career paths internally, and we can boast decades of happy customers along with dozens of successful careers, apart from three trainees negotiators who have now become directors, there are at least five local companies (off the top of my head) that were started as a result of RE training.

I keep an eye on the future, primarily political and economic trends, and am looking forward to this administration keeping its promises to first-time buyers.

As for outlook, we have to find a balance between healthy teamwork and retaining our healthy individualism.

I look forward to working with you.
