A new independent estate agency has opened in Daventry town centre by David Bruckert, who has almost 18 years’ experience working in the industry.
Skilton & Hogg Estate Agents, located on the corner of Sheaf Street and Prince William Walk, will cover the sales and rental market in the town and surrounding villages.
Bruckert, the head of the new business, previously spent almost 18 years working at Hawkins Estate Agents covering the sales and letting market across Warwickshire. He and his partners sold their business in 2022.
Bruckert said: “When the time came for our business to move on, I just couldn’t shake the itch nor the passion so decided to grab the opportunity to start again under my own banner and in a town that holds so many good memories for our family. My wife grew up in the local area, went to school here and we still live locally.
“With the geographical position of Daventry, it’s wonderful town centre and the growth that the whole region is seeing, I am confident that our brand of service and attention to detail will bring a fresh approach and new options for people wishing to sell and buy homes in Daventry and the surrounding areas.
“We are not interested in world domination, more so to provide a high level of personal, customer focused service to a number of clients without the risk of being overrun and unable to fulfil our promises.
“Our ethos is that of being part of the clients journey, from start to finish where the house sale or purchase is the end product of a fantastic relationship and experience.”
Bruckert explained that the name of his business comes from the maiden names of his and his wife’s mothers.
He added that “Skilton is the maiden name of my wife’s mother who we lost recently to cancer. We hope to carry on the memory of her name and encapsulate just a few of the values that she stood for – strong work ethic, honesty and integrity.
“We strive to provide a family feel and warmth in our business practices whilst maintaining the highest of professional standards – something that I have always achieved across my career and hope this is welcomed by our new clients who entrust us to help them.”
