We combine the widespread exposure of our national network and online reach with the local expertise and knowledge of property professionals who genuinely care about your property as much as you do. Our Torquay Sales Department is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has over 25 years of experience working in estate agency within Torbay. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished and established Torquay team, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our modern Wellswood office since 2016. We know that selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.
