After spending most of her working life in the finance sector, Fran joined the local market sales team in April 2005. She has been working hard to further endorse the name of Lovells by offering a friendly and approachable service backed by a sound knowledge of the local property market. Appreciating that buying and selling property can be extremely stressful, Fran believes that one of the most important roles of a negotiator is to be able to communicate with people, helping to build a relationship based on confidence and trust.

Fran recently undertook a two year course gaining a Diploma in Surveying Practice and is an Associate Director of the company being responsible for the residential sales team. Fran works with both Lorraine and Helen on the Local Market but also assists Chris Lovell with the Open Market.

Outside the office, Fran is heavily involved in running the music sessions of the Eisteddfod and loves spending her holidays visiting her sister in New Zealand!

Helen has recently joined Lovells as a trainee local market negotiator. She left the Grammar School with 3 A Levels in 2010 and has spent the last few months working as a cashier at NatWest.

Helen has wanted to be an estate agent from an early age and based her A level choices on the subjects she thought might be most useful to her when applying for a negotiator role. We are certainly keen to make use of her extensive knowledge of photography!

In her spare time, Helen plays volleyball in both the ladies and mixed leagues and also enjoys surfing and Zumba.

After taking some time off to look after her young family we are delighted to welcome Lorraine back to Lovells in her new role of local market negotiator. Having previously worked in our property management department, Lorraine is keen to take on a new challenge and with her recent experience of buying and selling a number of properties with her husband, she feels well placed to work within the sales department.

Having totally renovated her first home, Lorraine also assists her husband with his property development business and feels she has gained first-hand experience of understanding plot values and building costs, along with appreciating the stress involved in the buying and selling process. At the moment she is busy making all the ‘important’ decisions for their new build family home such as designing the kitchen and bathrooms, although she has let her 5 year old daughter design her bedroom – which could prove interesting!

In her spare time, Lorraine enjoys getting out and about with her family, and is always on the lookout for their next property project!

Her role involves providing support to the Local Market Negotiators, arranging all of their viewings and assisting with enquiries from prospective purchasers. Sally-Ann also provides cover for the Open Market Secretary during holidays.
