Specialist lender Together has appointed Olivia Jones as business development manager as it continues to expand its support for property investors and estate agency introducers.
Jones (main picture) joins the lender’s dedicated below market value (BMV) team, which works with estate agents, property professionals and investors to help facilitate residential property transactions where homes are sold below market value.
She brings more than seven years’ experience in the property sector, having started her career with Edward Mellor Estate Agents in Stockport before progressing through a number of customer-facing and advisory roles.
During her time with the agency she worked as vendor performance manager, relationship manager and mortgage and protection case manager before qualifying as a mortgage and protection adviser.
QUICK SALES
In her new role, Jones will focus on developing relationships with estate agents and other introducers, helping vendors secure quick and certain sales while supporting investors looking to acquire and improve residential property.
The appointment reflects the growing importance of strong relationships between lenders, agents and investors in helping transactions progress in a market where speed and certainty are increasingly valued.
Jones says: “I caught the property bug early on during my time at Edward Mellor, and I’ve been passionate about the industry ever since.
“Working my way up through the business gave me a really strong grounding in the market, and completing my exams to become a mortgage advisor was a natural next step for me.”
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
She adds: “I loved being out on the road meeting people at Edward Mellor and that’s something I’m looking forward to continuing in this role.
“Building relationships and really understanding what they’re trying to achieve is the most rewarding part of the role. There is a lot of personal satisfaction in being able to help customers turn their property ambitions into reality.”
Elliot Vure, Director of Sales, BMV at Together, says: “Olivia brings a fantastic blend of hands-on property experience and advisory knowledge, which makes her a great fit for our team.
“Her progression through the industry demonstrates both her commitment and expertise, and her enthusiasm for supporting customers really stands out.
“We’re delighted to welcome her to Together as we continue to invest in talented people who can deliver the flexible, relationship-led service our customers and introducers value.”
Jones will work with agents and investors across the market as Together continues to grow its presence within the specialist property finance sector.
