Paul has worked in estate agency since the early 1980’s, gaining vital knowledge and experience before opening Campbells in 1985. His aim from the outset was to change the face of estate agency, by prioritising customers and giving them an incredible service. And now after all this time, he is proud of the difference the Campbells team have made and is determined to continue looking after our customers and their properties properly.

Paul has been through the highs and the lows of the property market. So, when the property market crashed and some sellers found themselves in trouble, he published his first book in 2009 entitled ‘Sold – You Can Sell Your Property… Guaranteed’. Anyone interested in selling a property should grab a copy of this book – as you’ll find lots of useful and straightforward tips which will make your selling journey much easier. You can find the book on Amazon, or if you ask a member of the team nicely, we will send you a copy with our compliments.
”I got my first job in an estate agency practice when I was 17 – yes you will run out of fingers and toes if you try and work out how long ago that was.

Paul’s role today is very much about managing, overseeing and being part of the customer journey – making sure their property experience with Campbells is seamless and memorable for all the right reasons. He also coaches sellers, buyers and investors so they have the right help and support along their property journey.
As well as looking after sellers, buyers, landlords and tenants, Paul has a particular passion of teaching ordinary people how to be extraordinary estate agents. Since 1985, Paul made it his priority to assure that the team at Campbells are a friendly bunch of Property Experts who have all the tools and resources to materialise the property dreams of our customers.
Paul’s dedication to the industry can be very much noticed through the way he manages our team – to ensure that the standards are kept high and our customers are well looked after, our team have regular meetings where we share our knowledge and experience to guarantee the best outcomes for our buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants.
When you meet Paul, it doesn’t take long to realise that he is a real perfectionist and that is what has powered the Campbells team through the years and made it so successful.
Starting with the methods in the office and within the team, the administration and ‘magic sauce’ added to each and every property, the marketing procedures leading to the communication with the customers and down to the negotiation process, the handing of the keys and even helping our customers with the move itself, everything has a mastered method behind it and that’s why at Campbells, everything goes according to the plan.
We do things differently because we are genuinely passionate about what we do and we take great pride in using our knowledge and expertise to help make a difference for our customers and the industry.

The difference between an ordinary and extraordinary estate agent is not just in the fee – when you choose the agent to represent you in the sale of your most expensive asset, you really get what you pay for. It’s an investment and not a cost if handled correctly.
Paul’s main objective has always been to assure that every customer of ours has the opportunity to have the best Property Expert by their side who is well educated in each area of the market including: marketing, story telling, negotiating, copywriting, photography, local knowledge, property staging and in some cases even building! Paul is the source of change at Campbells and he is the reason why we always strive to be ahead of the game.
”I couldn’t do what I do without an amazing team of brilliant, like-minded people. More like a family than anything else, we share the same ethos, value system and levels of professionalism, because at its very core is the fact that we are all sensitive people and care about our customers and only want what’s best for them.
