Daniel Downes

Daniel Downes

Director & Valuer

Bio

Dan is one of the owners of the company and has worked in estate agency for 20 years. Initially in London with two ‘top end’ agencies and then returning to his home town of Lichfield to set up his own agency with his wife Verity in 2003.

When not working there is nothing more important than his family and when time allows you may find him at Lichfield Rugby Club.


Verity Downes

Verity Downes

Director & Sales Progressor

Bio

Boasting the same CV as Dan and probably the best ‘sales chaser in the business.  Always with a smile on her face.  Away from the office Verity is totally devoted to her family.  Her two daughters mean the world to her and she spends every second she can with them.  Quite a troublesome trio when all together.  Verity has recently started playing hockey again and is delighted to feature in the same team as her girls.


Nikki Woodhouse

Nikki Woodhouse

Sales Negotiator & Sales Progessor

Bio
Nikki came to us with a wealth of experience within the property market. 14 years as a sales negotiator in the local area and, more importantly, 4 years at a conveyancing solicitor, further enhancing our sales progression service. Which was already the best in the area. She is the ultimate ‘multi tasker’. Nikki also fits our family theme perfectly as we believe those family values filter in to your work ethos and personal standards. Her boys have now left the nest which has given her more time to explore her own passion for travel and she, and her husband, continue to be reluctant yet committed ‘gym goers’. Down time always involves family, laughter, food (normally a pie) and wine. Hence the regular gym visits. Needless to say she completes our team of dog lovers and shares her lunchtime soup with Trouser every day and dotes on her springerpoo Daisy.

Kim Clark

Kim Clark

Sales Negotiator & Vendor Manager

Bio

Kim has spent the last 20 years working for Lichfield Estate Agents but was naturally attracted to the D&D brand due to her friendly and fun personality. With a diligence second to none she too likes to spend her ‘downtime’ with her family. Also with two daughters and recently becoming a grandmother.


Kirsty Friend

Kirsty Friend

Sales Negotiator & Vendor Manager

Bio
Kirsty comes from a Chartered Surveying background successfully running a family business with her husband Marcus. Kirsty has a straight talking, no nonsense, approach which is appreciated by both sellers and buyers. As one of Lichfield’s leading socialites you may bump in to Kirsty armed with a French Martini at one of the local discotheques or nightspots.

Bio

Lichfield’s very own Kirstie Allsopp. There is no one better to show you around a house than Joyce. Having renovated all her family homes and run a successful property development company – no one can see the potential in a home like Joyce can. Away from work she can normally be found at the bottom of a gin bottle dancing to Van Morrison.
