William Hodnett
MNAEA
At the tender age of 20, Will completed an apprenticeship at one of the largest independently owned estate agents in the country while also becoming a member of the National Association of Estate Agents, where he quickly became one of the senior negotiators in their flag ship office. By the age of 22 Will had already seen a significant change from the traditional way properties were being sold, so, together with Co-founder Karl Morgan, Will left his role in traditional estate agency to launch Holters Estate Agents in 2013. Having grew up in Knighton and attended school in Presteigne Will has vast knowledge of both areas. Will currently resides in Ludlow with his wife, son and dog. Outside of work Will is a keen sportsperson and plays rugby for Ludlow RFC and golf in the summer months.
Tom Jones
BSc Hons MNAEA
With over 20 years experience as an estate agent in Mid-Wales, Tom recently passed the milestone of working for 10 years for the company. “I thrive on providing high standards of marketing to my clients, raising the bar with the presentation of their homes and also the service in which I provide to them as clients. I feel at Holters we offer a unique blend of fantastic modern marketing methods, which combined with our local knowledge, provides the best outcome for our clients. I am keen to expand the Holters brand with properties now being listed and sold in areas like Hay-on-Wye and West Wales. It is fantastic to see how our good reputation is spreading".
On a personal note, Tom has a beautiful daughter and partner and lives on a farm in the heart of the Brecon Beacons just outside the town of Brecon, tending to his Bluefaced Leicester's in the evenings and weekends. With plenty of success in the sale and show rings over the years, he was recently asked to judge the Royal Balmoral Show in Northern Ireland.
