Jamie Scales
Senior Property Consultant
Jamie, Jason’s younger brother, re-joined the family business in 2020 after two years working elsewhere in the industry – a useful exercise, which has proved invaluable. Having previously worked for the family since 2006 he has now come back with a fresh perspective and new ideas in moving the business forward, namely, his expertise in social media marketing – a must for any modern-day estate agent, seller and landlord. As Jamie says, “It certainly was an eye opener leaving the family fold and experiencing how other agents operate. I can honestly say I am glad to be back in the family business. I like the transparency and traditional values that VIKINGS has always maintained. I hope I have now added that extra ingredient by introducing innovative social media marketing ideas to the business, which will help to keep us at the forefront of the local property market.” Jamie is highly regarded in both sales and lettings, so rest assured that his knowledge will serve you well in whichever service you require.
Michelle Cook
Property Consultant/Lettings Manager
Michelle is the cornerstone of the lettings department, having joined the VIKINGS family in 2022. She has brought with her a wealth of knowledge and experience from her previous career in compliance, which has proved invaluable to us in the ever-changing world of legislation within the lettings industry. Michelle’s infectious personality makes her easy to connect with on first meeting. Her assertive, friendly nature, combined with her gift of having common sense, makes one feel instantly at ease and in safe hands. In summary, Michelle is a people’s person, who fits perfectly with The Vikings Way of running a successful business.
