This week we’re shining a light on the brilliant Kerry Sommerville, Office Manager of our Swansea Sales branch. With his passion for the industry and fantastic knowledge of the local area, we’re incredibly lucky to have Kerry in Team Dawsons.
“I’ve always had a passion for property and delivering high levels of customer service. It first started back in 2002 when I was a young, impressionable Sales Negotiator and I knew straight away this was the career for me.
I very quickly grew to love playing such an important role in a deal which turns out to be undoubtedly the biggest transaction of someone’s life. I continued working hard for a few years to help me fund my lifelong dream of travelling around South East Asia and Australia for 12 months.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and during that brief career break, I truly realised just how big my passion for property is. Although I was very fortunate to have the luxury of seeing some of the most beautiful architectural buildings in the world, I began to miss the excitement of the driven sales environment.
On my return, my career in estate agency began to accelerate. Firstly, as a Sales Negotiator, with promotions to Branch Valuer and then finally Branch Manager. After so many years in the industry, I have built an extensive knowledge of Swansea having worked in numerous locations throughout from SA1 to SA7.
Having worked for other estate agents in the city, it was obvious to me that throughout my career, Dawsons are the most prestigious company and the number one estate agent. I’m absolutely delighted to have joined them and be a part of their successful management team, and look forward to further develop my career within the company.
From a very early age I was always heavily involved in team sports. I have a beautiful young family, and I enjoy nothing more than spending my spare time with them. To my delight, my family share the same passion as myself and there’s no greater feeling than watching my sons play football for their local teams – we’re also all Swansea City fanatics!
When I’m not dealing with property or watching football, I love socialising with friends, listening to live music, and enjoy eating out in the many local restaurants Swansea has to offer.
Having been in the industry some 13 years Kerry has extensive knowledge of the business. His boundless energy and enthusiasm and infectious personality gives clients the comfort of knowing they’re in safe hands whether they’re buying or selling.
