Richard James Lettings, SN25

Meet the team

• 

  Caroline Schaefer

  Director

  Work hard – Play hard, is a concept that Caroline embraces with gusto. When we asked Caroline to list her favourite hobbies she said she had two. Gin and Tonic. Luckily for us, mixing business with pleasure is something she excels at, and her knowledge, professionalism and enthusiasm never fail to shine through. Hugely supportive to her colleagues, and loved by landlords, Caroline is a real team player. Diplomatic, driven and fun to be around, she’s definitely a glass half full kind of person.

  Rebecca Barrett

  Director

  Becky is quite simply a Lettings legend! Without her, there would be no Richard James lettings department. Single-handedly setting up our lettings business back in 2007, Becky has played a huge role in building our portfolio and has a loyal fan base of happy landlords who recommend her time and time again. Driven and dynamic, she can always be relied upon to take our recruits under her wing and lead by example. When she’s not working, you’ll find Becky out walking her furry friend, Buddy. This f

  Nicky Bint

  Lettings Manager

  You wouldn’t know it to look at her, but there’s nothing that Nicky likes more than getting into a long drawn out scandal. Very good at handling dramas, a night on the sofa with a box set is how Nicky likes to relax. A budding actress in her youth and still a little dramatic at times Nicky worked for a vet before making a move to lettings. Organised, efficient, and a brilliant networker, her portfolio of happy landlords just keeps on growing.

  Lisa Richards

  Lettings Manager of Property Management Team

  Lisa leads our Property Management team, ensuring our landlords, tenants and properties are looked after, safe and legally compliant. She is a lot of fun, a little bit crazy and known in the office for her distinctive walk – we aren’t 100% sure why, but everyone knows when she’s coming your way! Having said that this yoga-loving lady can remain zen and calm when it matters most. At the weekends, Lisa can be found with a prosecco in hand, dancing somewhere or out walking her dogs in the countrysi

  Ellis-Rose Wigley

  Lettings Manager

  We didn’t think it was possible for anyone to be permanently happy, until Ellis-Rose proved us wrong. Very wrong. There’s never a dull moment, she’s an absolute ray of sunshine and you’ll never, and we mean ever, see her without a smile. A fountain of knowledge; Ellis-Rose has experienced all parts of the business, from admin, enquiries and maintenance, to becoming a senior member of our vibrant Old Town office.

  Tayler Trueman

  Lettings Finance Administrator

  Tayler loves anything pineapple related (stationary, ornaments etc) and even has a tattoo of one, however doesn’t like eating it (strange, we know). Her dog Teddy is her best bud (however she insists she’s not alone and does in fact have friends). She loves seeing her boyfriend and friends throughout the week to socialise outside of work. One thing you should know about Tayler is that she LOVES Christmas. If you know Tayler well she will happily watch the polar express all year round.

  Finance & Lettings Administrator

  Frankie Stocker

  Lettings Property Manager

  Frankie claims she always has to have a holiday booked, even if it’s just a weekend trip. If she doesn’t have one planned, she will constantly look for one until she does (especially if it’s a bargain deal!) In her spare time, she loves walking her hyper dog (who still thinks he’s a puppy 7 and a half years later!) or she’ll be at the pub socialising with her friends.

  Gee Mossom

  Property Inspector

  Having lived in Cape Town for several years, fate bought Gee to the not so sunny climes of Swindon. Cheeky and confident, Gee’s enjoyed meeting her new team at Richard James and winding them up now and then always makes her smile. Gee says she is also blessed to have a puppy/mountain goat called Garry!

  Jake Bunce

  Lettings Lister/Negotiator

  We would describe Jake similarly to how we would describe a lavish, five-bedroom, Victorian townhouse…beautifully maintained and immaculately presented with a wealth of charm and character. Having grown up in a lovely little village, Jake couldn’t wait to start work in the hustle and bustle of Swindon which was somewhat different to the views of open fields and the Avebury Stones that he’s used to. Jake has bought plenty of sass, positivity and energy to his team.

  Jessica West

  Lettings Property Manager

  From retail to real estate, Jessica hung her fashion career on the rail and joined Richard James in the world of property. Jess loves being a helping hand and making every customer feel unique and valued, which is why she loves working as part of our Lettings Team. You can find Jess dealing with enquiries in the day, and in the evening, reluctantly running her couch to 5k! We don’t blame you, Jess… At the weekend, Jess is partial to a cosmopolitan or episode of strictly with her boyfriend (which

  Joanna Hill-Brown

  Lettings Manager

  Introducing SN7’s best agent EVER (well, in 2018 and 2019 anyway according to All Agents), as voted by the fine folk of Faringdon. Boom! With experience spanning multiple offices, across both sales and lettings, she’s a true Richard James OG. Leaving behind the bright lights of Swindon, Jo has thrived out in the sticks – leveraging her naturally sunny disposition and desire to help. She feels right at home there too, especially since getting married and double barrelling her surname! When she is

  Michelle Brown

  Property Inspector

  Michelle joined the Richard James family in July 2020. She has a wealth of knowledge within Lettings, with 16 years of experience, and has worked in all departments. Miche (as usually known to her friends), loves to run in her spare time, completing many ultra marathons and also enjoys walking her dog. She likes to socialize with her friends and family with a cheeky glass of wine (or two!) Michelle is very happy and bubbly and likes to have a laugh, but has a wicked sense of humour!

  Millie Sharp

  Lettings Property Manager

  Millie works in our lettings team as the first point of contact for tenants who have any queries about their property. She is easy-going, warm and positive, all essential traits for ensuring the move-in process is smooth for the Landlord and the Tenant. At the weekends, you’ll usually find Millie in the pub with friends, out on a long walk or booking a holiday. She’s also obsessed with animals and has been lucky enough to cuddle a penguin and feed lions & giraffes.

  Rebecca Gee

  Lettings Property Manager

  Becky works at Richard James as one of our trusty Property Managers – perfect for her determined, consistent and focused personality. And that’s not the only time these traits come in handy… When she isn’t at work, Becky can be found weight lifting and powerlifting at the gym. This means she definitely knows a thing or two about training and keeping a positive mental attitude! Becky believes ‘everything happens for a reason, do not worry about something that you cannot control’

  Sadie Collick

  Lettings Negotiator

  Considering she’s got a red belt in kickboxing (and only a couple away from being a black belt), this means Sadie is highly competitive, and won’t give in until she’s found the perfect house for you. Sadie has worked her way up, from selling pasties to selling people their dream homes. Outside of work, Sadie loves any sort of water activities and attempts to force all of her friends to go surfing and camping with her. This is probably where she gets her exploration side from, as she loves travel
