Renown Estate Agents
Paul Reynolds has been selling houses in Cramlington since 1977, so when we say you are ‘Moving with experience’, it is backed up with an unrivalled knowledge of the housing market in Cramlington and its surrounding area. Having previously worked for other agents, Paul set up on his own and established Reynolds & Brown in 1983, changing its name to Renown in 1990.
Trading from attractive premises in Smithy Square, Paul established a successful estate agency based on straight-forward but professional advice and service, principles that have underpinned the growth of the business. The housing market has seen radical changes over this time, but Paul’s philosophy of recruiting knowledgeable and professional staff has meant clients looking to sell their house benefited from sound, practical advice, backed up with experience. Paul’s sales team is currently headed by Sheila Rutherford who has worked in the industry for 20 years, whilst negotiators Denise Ackroyd and Paul’s daughter Katherine both live locally, giving them a good insight of the Cramlington market.
In 1999, Paul added an independent mortgage advice arm to the business and today in Liz Garbutt, is alone in Cramlington in having a resident adviser in place to discuss the mortgage and insurance needs of homebuyers and investors alike. It was a natural progression for the Estate Agency and it provides a seamless service for both buyers and sellers.
Paul was also keen to capitalise on the growing ‘buy to let’ market and added Paul Booth to his team in 2004 as Renown’s Property Lettings Manager. This side of the business has seen phenomenal growth over the last 2 years, so much so that Renown is now Cramlington’s number 1 letting agent. That said, Renown’s portfolio of managed let properties stretches well beyond Cramlington with Paul Booth looking after let properties in Morpeth, Blyth, Dudley, Annitsford, Kingston Park, Newcastle, Ponteland and has been particularly successful in letting properties at new estates in Ashington. With the buy to let market continuing to be strong, plans are in place to move into the Whitley Bay and North Tyneside area by teaming up with the coast’s leading estate agent.
Finally, Paul wanted to add a commercial section to his business. When Paul’s then Bank Manager Paul Barwick (we’re all called Paul here!) said he was leaving Lloyds TSB, the opportunity to recruit someone with knowledge and many years experience of businesses in the North East allowed the launch of the Commercial Department in 2005. A more specialised sector of the market, the sale and let of commercial premises, the sale of businesses as going concerns as well as a commercial finance broking service sees Renown now offering a full complement of services to clients in not only Cramlington, but across the whole of Northumberland & North Tyneside.
