Jack Charles carries the name of the founders’ sons and was born out of blend of passion for people, property and delivering client value through service excellence. Together with business partner James Hincks, an experienced and ambitious senior agent in the area, they launched their business in March 2020, which was not without its challenges, however as an independent with a clear vision, they were able to march forward with genuine purpose, to become the leading agent in town.

The Covid experience allowed them to grow quickly and operate successfully beyond traditional geographic constraints, however they feel face to face interactions remain equally important and have continued to open their branch in Tunbridge Wells. Next stop Sevenoaks…

Shaun was unable to join his new venture from day one because his corporate role suddenly became a more critical one, looking after 2m Travel Insurance customers through very choppy waters. He was extremely fortunate to have a leading lady step in that shared his vision, his wife Marisa.

Shaun started his corporate life as an accountant with Marks and Spencer and moved on through retail into the mobile, telco, services, banking, and insurance worlds. A journey that afforded him the opportunity to broaden his corporate experience and mature his personal passion for Angel investment and Property development. Over the years Shaun has personally developed and built homes across London and Kent and managed successful rental portfolios for a range of stakeholders, an experience that allows him to better understand his client’s needs and goals.

This passion for people and property helped drive the successful Jack Charles partnership with James, along with a commitment to ‘making their business all about you’.
