Estate agency Simpson & Marwick, which launched in 1886, is returning to Aberdeen after a six-year absence.
The regional operation will be led by Aberdeen businessman Rob Aberdein with Nikki Hempseed, former Aberdein Considine branch manager, heading up the expansion.
Simpson & Marwick will open a new office on Union Street over the next few weeks.
Aberdein was appointed group managing director of Simpson & Marwick earlier this month.
He said: “Aberdeen has been home to my family for many generations, and I’m incredibly proud to bring Simpson & Marwick back.
“The north-east deserves a first-class estate agency service, and we’re here to provide that.
“With major developments and investment coming down the pipeline in energy, business, and infrastructure, I believe that Aberdeen is on the cusp of a real resurgence.
“Now is therefore the perfect time for Simpson & Marwick to return and play its part in that story.”
In 2019, under the ownership of Clyde & Co, the decision was made for Simpson & Marwick to focus on its commercial and corporate legal practice.
In October 2023, Moray Group sold the Edinburgh-based Simpson & Marwick estate agency to the newly formed Simpson and Marwick Group (SMG) for a six-figure sum.
Now the decision has been made to re-enter the market, opening up again in Aberdeen.
Aberdein continued: “I’ve been really impressed with the efforts of my friend Bob Keillor and the team at Our Union Street and am pleased therefore that our Aberdeen base will be at number 214 of the historic granite mile.
“In Nikki [Hempseed] we have one of the most respected estate agents in the north-east, with an exceptional knowledge of the property market and a proven track record of delivering results.
“In the coming months we will be recruiting across a range of property and legal roles.”
Hempseed added: “For me, estate agency isn’t just about transactions – it’s about relationships.
“That personal connection is what drives me, and I’m looking forward to bringing that to Simpson & Marwick’s clients in Aberdeen and to be working with Rob once again.”
