Our agency division is one part of Fisher German, a multi-disciplinary firm which offers a broad range of services to its clients. We operate across the UK advising and managing a range of client portfolios with national visibility across all six-property market sectors; rural, commercial, development, residential, infrastructure services and sustainable energy. This puts us in the rare position of being able to provide a broad range of services to help support our clients through the preparation of properties for marketing and overcoming any hurdles during the entire process to best meet our clients’ sales objectives.

We have increased our market share exponentially over the past 10 years and are focused on increasing this further whilst operating a profitable business which rewards hardworking team players who make key contributions to the team’s targets.

The firm can trace its origins back to 1830 and is now one of the largest multi-disciplinary firms in the country. However, whilst Fisher German operates nationally, we strive to combine the advantages this offers with our ability to provide first class, local and regional knowledge and expertise to our clients.

Across our office network, we offer a hybrid working approach, where appropriate, and we work with our colleagues to structure their working week to provide the greatest efficiency whilst maintaining a high standard of customer service. Some days you might be in the office enjoying a collaborative team day or out on the road attending viewings, valuations, and client meetings, whilst on other days, you may be home-based whilst remaining highly connected and involved in providing front line services, largely thanks to our social and digitally connected workforce. This gives you the chance to get involved in a variety of activities, like sports events, pop-up bars, BBQs, CPD days, live leadership updates on Zoom, picnics in the park and lots more.

What’s not to love? We work hard and strive to exceed client expectations, but we also have lots of fun! If that sounds like something you would enjoy, then please get in touch.
