The new office offers sales, lettings and property management services and within its first month of opening the new branch has sold 10 properties and taken instruction from 16 vendors.

The Whitley Bay site complements Greetham Gilbert's head office in Jesmond, Newcastle, and forms part of the business's long-term expansion plans.

Founders Simon and Louise Greetham and Roger Gilbert, say the move has personal significance alongside the business expansion.

Simon said: “Whitley Bay is an area that has always felt like home to us. Living at the coast ourselves, we know the nature of Park View is vibrant and has a strong community feel with lots of other independent businesses based here.

“There's a real sense of character and creativity here, and it reflects the type of high-end, aspirational homes that we represent.

"Opening our new branch in Whitley Bay is a very proud moment for us.”

He added: “We have created a business that focuses on people first, whether that is sellers, buyers landlords or tenants and we are proud to be growing across the region while keeping that personal approach at the heart of everything we do.

"We already have plans to expand into other parts of the region and are excited about what the future holds."

Leading the new office is Isabella Stewart, who will be supported by three sales and lettings negotiators, increasing the company's headcount to 13.

Supporting Greetham Gilbert through its growth is business advisor Daniel Adamson at Robson Laidler Accountants.

Established in 2023, Greetham Gilbert has built a strong reputation and won Best Estate Agency Award at England’s Business Awards last year, has become known for its cinematic-style property videos and high-quality editorial photography, helping buyers experience a home before they step through the door.

Greetham Gilbert also currently sponsors Cullercoats FC and supports Whitley Bay Golf Club and has further plans to increase its community support in the area.
