Hello I am Sue the accidental Estate Agent. I have experienced a range of jobs from banking to teaching however many years ago when selling my home I was offered the opportunity of working for my instructed agent and I have been hooked ever since! I feel very fortunate to live and work within the local community that I have been very much part from a young age when my family moved from Birmingham. People interest me and there is no better feeling than finding the perfect home for someone and being part of their journey from start to finish. I walk for miles with my office dog Dot when I am not obsessing about the moon, painting and drawing or pyjama gardening. Currently I am trying to master the bodhran drum, unsuccessfully, despite my Irish roots. My claim to fame is meeting Mike Tindall and having no clue who he was

I have a wealth of experience in Education and Hospiltality and more recently I took the steps to pursue my interest in property and become a Sales Negotiator.

My aim is to take out the stress of selling and buying. I hope to provide a high-quality customer service to all clients that sell and buy through Nick Tart Estate Agents.

In my free time I like to get out and about, I love the outdoors – and we are lucky to have some great National Trust properties and hikes to enjoy in Shropshire.
