Another independent agency disappears as family franchise firm expands

The Tunbridge Wells office of Martin & Co has boosted its managed portfolio by 43 per cent by snapping up yet another independent agency.

It has taken on the property portfolio of McAuley Miller in the Kent town, taking its own managed portfolio beyond 200 properties.

Managing director David Rogers has owned the Tunbridge Wells branch since 2009, with McAuley Miller his third but also largest acquisition to date. It’s a family affair with staff including David’s wife Jackie (Property Manager), daughter Vicky (Lettings Manager) and her husband Scott (Sales and Valuation Manager).

Ian Wilson, retiring chief executive of The Property Franchise Group - which owns Martin & Co - says: “I met David and his daughter at a franchise show in 2009. He was an experienced agent looking to use our brand to develop a new venture.

“I’m sure that he and his family are delighted with the progress he has made since. His clients speak very highly of the service they receive, and the seller’s clients will be welcomed warmly onboard.”
