Kerry Adamowicz, Managing Director

In this latest news article, we're catching up with Mortimers’ Managing Director, Kerry Adamowicz, who reveals her thoughts on the state of the property market in 2023, her tips & tricks to selling a property and how you can instruct Mortimers to help you get moving through the property market!


Kerry, can you tell us how you first got started in estate agency and where it has taken you today?
I was working as a PA to a commercial director for five years when I joined Claire Lloyd Properties as a Saturday Assistant in 2004. I would show applicants around rental properties and assist with administrative support in the office. After working as a Saturday assistant for 6 months, I was offered a full-time permanent position. I immediately developed a passion for people and property and couldn’t imagine doing anything else!

Now, as the Managing Director at Mortimers in Aylesbury, I’m grateful to work with the local community in helping them to move through the property market in the most efficient and cost-effective way. 


What advice would you give to someone who’s looking to sell their property in Buckinghamshire?

  • Start selling before you start buying. Estate agents rarely recommend that their clients accept an offer from a buyer with an incomplete chain.

  • Shortlist local agents and always read the agents client reviews. Check out Mortimers reviews here!
  • The BEST indicator of a successful agent is how many of their boards are up. Don’t be overly excited if they mostly read ‘for sale’. This can be an indication of overpricing homes. A sold board indicates a sale has been successfully agreed and the agent may have had more than one interested buyer and are likely to have a list of people who lost out on the property who are ready to view yours.
  • Communication is key. If your estate agent isn’t keeping you in the loop or making sure you are informed in every step of your buying or selling journey, that’s a red flag!
  • Finally, make your home look its best for viewings.  That means declutter and check unpleasant odours! Make sure to follow our social media channels where we regularly give more advice to getting your property viewing ready.


Why is it important to get a market appraisal from an expert?  

Getting the asking price right is one of the most important stages in the sales process. That’s why getting a market appraisal with an expert is vital. Inviting an accredited and qualified property expert to your home will guarantee a detailed and accurate appraisal.

  • How they market their properties
