The Drakes Estate Agents Family

  • Introduction

    The Drakes Estate Agents Story
    Established in 2022, Drakes Estate Agents brings established estate agency talent to the residents of Wythall and Hollywood.

    The company was set up when two dedicated local agents came across an opportunity to open their own agency. Co-owners Emma Daffurn and Louise Lane are passionate about providing expert local knowledge, with close personal links to the area. Setting up shop here has felt like coming home for Emma, who grew up in the area. Meanwhile, local resident Louise has long dreamed of opening a business in Hollywood.

    Emma and Louise are your new local estate agents covering Wythall, Hollywood and the surrounding areas with over 45 years of combined experience.

    Emma Daffurn - DIRECTOR
    Emma started her working career at the age of 16 in retail, working for Morgam News in Hollywood and Beaties in Solihull. In 2000 Emma decided to explore Estate Agency and found her first trainee role, working for Your Move in Solihull. It didn't take long for Emma to come back home to Hollywood after securing a negotiator role at Darren Blowers Estate Agents and following that a more senior role for 5 years at Kelly Homes Estate Agents - now Drakes Estate Agents. From there Emma moved on to Shakespeares Estate Agents in Shirley but after 3 years Emma was poached by Smart Homes where she worked for 13 years as the Office Manager, this is where Emma and Louise first met and Drakes Estate Agents was hatched. In Emma's spare time she loves spending time with her friends and family especially her nieces and nephews and her dog Nellie who you may see in the office.

    Having worked in the Estate agent Industry during the 1990's and more recently with both online & high street agents, I have seen the problems that arise when support, knowledge and communication are not adhered too. Therefore, in bringing old school customer service values with the modern experience I truly feel blend's in with Emma and Louise's friendly team approach, both whom I have now known and worked with over the past 5 years.

      I can't recommend Drakes enough
      Although I felt a little nervous at first (who wouldn't with such a big purchase?), the team at Drakes made the process smooth and straightforward.Their communication was outstanding. Emails were answered on the same day, and phone calls were met by friendly staff-no impersonal voicemails or endless menu options. It was reassuring to always get quick, clear responses.A special mention to Emma, who added a personal touch by being hands-on and genuinely involved throughout. Her dedication, along with the care and professionalism of the entire team, made all the difference.I can't recommend Drakes enough for anyone seeking a smooth and friendly home-buying experience. A 10/10 experience-though I hope I won't need to buy another home any time soon!

    • Seller Testimonial

      100% recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell.

      I could not thank them enough.
      Drakes Estate Agents are the best! Emma and Louise go above and beyond to make even the most complicated of house moves easier. Both are super friendly and nothing is a problem. I could not thank them enough.

    • Seller Testimonial

      A great professional, local team!
      I'm pleased I chose Drakes to sell my property, the ladies were very helpful during a fairly protracted sale. Louise swiftly got the house marketed, April was great with viewings and Emma was really supportive whilst moving things along and answering queries.A great professional, local team!

    • Seller Testimonial

      I couldn't fault them!
      Louise and Emma provided a first class service to help us sell our house, from start to finish. From the particulars and how they marketed and presented our property to regular updates and efficient communication, I couldn't fault them! Brilliant service, thank you Drakes!

    • Seller Testimonial

      We would highly recommend Drakes
      We would just like to thank Emma who has been absolutely fabulous with our house move journey.We have had a few bumps along the way meaning our process has been more drawn out than originally intended but Emma has been amazing. Her correspondence with us has meant we have been kept informed along the way (her updates would always arrive before our solicitors which meant it was actually Emma keeping us up to date with the move rather than our solicitors!) and her response to our emails were always in a quick and professional manner.We would highly recommend Drakes and cannot thank Emma enough.
