A Bit About Me...
Over 20 years experience working in property across the South West
Hi...
I’m Paul Furner, the proud owner of Home Search SW. If you are considering using a buying agent to help make your move to the region then I feel it's important you know a bit about me and my background.
My role is to make your home purchase as easy and straightforward as possible and to always support and represent your best interests as a buyer!!
I grew up in the Medway Towns in Kent and made the move to Devon to study when I was 18. From the moment I arrived, I fell in love with the West Country - the stunning landscapes, the friendly people, and that wonderful, laid-back pace of life. I knew that this would be my home, and I have lived here ever since.
I started my journey in property in my early 20s at an Estate Agency in East Devon. Subsequently I went on and managed branches in Okehampton, Exmouth and Exeter City Centre. In the financial crisis in 2008, with a young family to think of, I transitioned into Retail Banking, and as a Bank Manager ran branches across Devon and Somerset - from the picturesque Dulverton on Exmoor to the bustling towns of Taunton, Crediton, and Tiverton to name a few.
In 2014, I returned to property, firstly with a well known and respected PLC house builder then, just a couple of years later, I took on the role of Residential Development Director for the South West with the UK's largest Estate Agency group at the time. With this role I was responsible for new developments from the stunning coastlines of Cornwall right across to the South of Bristol (and many incredible places in between!). My most recent position, for the last 4 1/2 years before setting up on my own, was as the Sales & Marketing Director for a regional house builder.
Property is in my bones, so alongside Homesearch SW, I also run a successful consultancy business specialising in Sales and New Homes.
I’m lucky enough to live in the stunning Blackdown Hills in Mid Devon close to the Somerset border, where I share life with my wife and our two boys.
So why work with me?
You will see from my brief bio above that I have lived and breathed the property market across the SW for many years.
I understand in depth the Estate Agency world, their processes and their key responsibility to ensure their vendors best interests at all times.
Working with me as your buying agent you will benefit from years of experience and a safe pair of hands from someone who has a wide network of contacts and held senior roles in the industry.
Having moved many times myself and overseen a vast number of property transactions I know only to well the stresses, strains, challenges and pitfalls that can occur.
"Having worked extensively in the industry across the South West in both Estate Agency & New Homes I have been involved in enabling hundreds of people to make their home moving dream a reality.
Home sales is like nothing else - you are working with people when buying their most expensive asset that will become the background for their lives. Often they are involved in a chain which can bring whole new levels of stress and complexity.
We cannot control all the things that may happen but will work relentlessly for our buyers to make it that much easier..!"
