Our Estate And Letting Agents Team In St Neots

Joanne NoonanFARLACompany Owner

I started my career in property in London, where I spent ten years, first in Knightsbridge letting some of the most prestigious properties in the UK, then in the City of London’s famous Square Mile looking after corporate lets and sourcing exclusive apartments for City banking and law firms.

How did I come to be in St Neots? When I left London I worked in this area and then built my own letting company from scratch. My 20 years here mean I’ve got real in-depth knowledge of all the issues affecting landlords and tenants locally, and joining forces with Giggs and Company in 2017 has meant we can now provide an all-round service for property investors.

It’s worth pointing out, I think, that I’m a qualified ARLA member as well. Actually I’m qualified to be a Fellow of ARLA (FARLA). Without going into too much detail this means I’ve passed the most stringent legal exams in the letting industry, and can offer accurate advice to clients on all their property issues - something that is very important to me.

I’m also a landlord myself, with a portfolio of properties, so I know exactly what kind of service landlords need and should expect. Actually, I try to exceed those expectations when I can.

I come from a large family of nine. I can remember I was part of a ballad group and used to take part in Irish singing competitions - and I’m still known for breaking out into song whenever I get the chance.

I live in Hertfordshire with my partner Mark and my two sons. We have two very large dogs, one is an Irish Wolfhound and the other a German Shepherd/Husky/Chihuahua mix (don't ask!). We have a large Maine Coon cat and a Bearded Dragon called Bernard. My pastimes (when I get the time) are weight training and pilates.

Be sure to ask me for one of my ‘awkward hugs’ when you meet me, my team love them!

Natalie BrookmanFARLAGeneral Manager

I joined the world of property nearly 8 years ago now. An old school friend had just started a new agency in the town and put an advert on facebook for staff members. We met a few times for a coffee and eventually I left my career of 15 years in the food industry and joined his team in Eaton Socon as the business manager. The business was only a few months old at the time so was just starting to gather momentum. In my time with them, we celebrated lots of success, won lots of awards but most importantly, we helped lots of wonderful people buy, sell, and rent properties. I have gained a wealth of experience in the industry, running an estate and letting agency, managing a team and carrying out all tasks involved with the buying, selling and rental process, and believe me there are lots of them!

Born and and bred in St Neots many moons ago now, I love this town, the people and the culture. I wanted to raise my children here and am lucky that most of my closest family members live just a stones throw away. I have seen the town grow and blossom over the last 40 years with the addition of some great local businesses. St Neots is my home and I feel very privileged to work her and assist all the great people of this town with their buying or selling needs.

Caroline McAlynnHead of Tenant Relations

I love my job - absolutely love it. It’s all about people and making them happy. Matching people with the right home is quite an emotional thing. And if any of our tenants need to chat about something they need or a change in their circumstances I’m ready to help, whatever it is.

I’ve been with Joanne and the Noonan team for more than three years now. It’s really busy and the days race by but we’re really well looked after and that’s really important to me - it’s good to feel appreciated.

I don’t live in St Neots, I live in St Ives nearby, but I would definitely consider moving here once my children are finished at school and things. It seems quite a diverse place compared to a lot small towns locally.

Fun fact? We’ve got a tortoise called ‘Max Timmy-Tommy Shelly’ and an ancient cat called Trixie - she’s 21 (and a bit smelly!)

Ellie LucasProperty Professional

I’ve always loved a front facing role that requires communicating, I can talk for England if you ask any of the girls in the office. The biggest part of this job is being communicative and understanding, in this job you need to listen to people and understand what they want and need. Everyone has a story to tell and that’s where the passion comes in to help them find the perfect home for them and their needs.

My role in this company is to perform viewings at our beautiful properties and find the right tenant for them. I also arrange property visits and inspections on behalf of landlords, and make sure everything is okay. I check off inventories and reports and pass on any concerns tenants may have.

Everyday is different in this job, blue days and exciting days but it’s all worth it when our amazing tenants and landlords say thank you for our effort. That is what makes this job all worth it.

Jo CoxAccounts Manager

The Noonan team continues to grow and we are delighted to welcome….superstar Jo Cox to the team! Jo will be looking after financial matters for our clients in Accounts. After taking a few years out to be a full-time mum, Jo joined a local Estate Agents as a Sales Negotiator.

She says, "My priority was never about getting the sale on the board in the quickest time! It was about my customers and really taking the time and care to look after them - some are still friends even today."

To gain a better work/life balance, Jo took the decision to go part-time and left estate agency to join a local alarm company as an Accounts Manager and spent four years with great people, learning to love a spreadsheet! She simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to work at Noonan Property Services and having worked with Natalie Brookman and Caroline Deeprose before, she knew the team would be a natural fit. Not just a dab hand with a spreadsheet, Jo also admits to being very handy with the scissors, especially after a glass of red wine or two, she has been known to give out impromptu haircuts! Jo's warm, fun loving personality and genuine care for her clients are just a few reasons why we are thrilled to have her on the team.
