Castles Residential Sales & Lettings have welcomed back five members of the family, proving that there's no place like home. One of the longest established and best-known estate agencies in Swindon, Castles has opened its arms to welcome back Austen Gray, Ben Deacon Simon Legge, Tracey Vasko and Guy Devine.

Whilst each of the staff had their own reasons for leaving, the reasons for coming back have remained consistent; nothing can measure up to the tenacity of Castles MD Mark Noble and his professional, proactive approach to promoting property.

Austen Grey left Castles after four years. Hungry to broaden his horizons, Austen found the proactive approach Castles have, was not always the norm. Finding the grass wasn't greener, Austen returned home to Castles after one year.

Austen said, "What I love about Castles is the confidence that the sales team gives me, marketing property immediately. Quite often, we achieve first day viewings in advance of the property being displayed on the internet."

Fostering a career driven team, Castles lost Ben Deacon twelve years ago. Ben left to take up a role as Branch Manager and enjoyed a period of time with an online agency but has chosen to return to Castles, even when he had several job offers.

Ben said, "I decided to come back to Castles due to the passion that Mark has displayed on the service side and truly believe that my online experience couple with Castles track record of success will make Castles the agent of choice for those seeking a traditional agent with online experience."

Simon Legge worked on the sales side of the business during his early days with Castles and moved over to run the Lettings department he then left to further his sales career. After 18 months, he came back to Castles because, "It is a driven company and the MD, Mark Noble, wants to be the very best in the town for his clients and all of his team".

In 2018, Castles was voted best estate agent in Swindon by past clients via allagents.co.uk. Further, they picked up the award for 'Best Agent North West Regional Award' from Relocation Agent Network and enjoy a 4.8* out 0f 5* review rating on Feefo an independent review, these reviews can be read by visiting castlesproperty.co.uk and clicking on the Feefo tab.

Tracey Vasko left Castles due to personal reason in April 2018 but really missed her work, she said, "I love the exceptional level of service Castles provides and the level of commitment from the team" making my return to Castles in August 2018 a no brainer and I am now delighted to have been promoted to Lettings manager.

Guy Devine left in 2011 for geographical reasons and to put his daughter's schooling first. He is now happy to return to his second family and commented "I never wanted to leave Castles all those years ago and I was delighted to return for a Managing Director whose passion and drive to be the best is infectious".

Mark Noble commented "When some agents are suffering in the current market conditions, Castles are getting stronger because these amazing people have taken the decision to come back to Castles and make a real difference for all our customers."
