Just weeks after buying a house from Chatteris estate agents Ellis Winters & Co, Emma Mott became the company’s newest recruit.

Mrs Mott and her husband spotted a house in Chatteris and decided it was just what they’d been looking for. But Emma was also in the process of selling her own house, with another agent, and was having a number of difficulties.

She said: “I needed to sell my house and ended up doing quite a bit of the work and negotiating myself.

“As a result, and because we were buying the house in Chatteris, I found myself in the Ellis Winters & Co office on several occasions so I was able to ask the team there for their help and advice.

“Everyone was so helpful and I really enjoyed spending time with them.”

Jan Townsend, director of Ellis Winters & Co, said: “Emma was clearly very competent and had a real grasp of the buying and selling process.

“When I said to her “if you ever want a job, pop in and see us” she did just that and now she’s part of the team – we are delighted to have her with us.”
