Property firm finding harmony in the market
DAWN Crosby and Ashley Redford only recently became full-time property agents, but they have already shifted millions of pounds-worth of homes across Dundee.
And in less than a year they’ve gone from strength-to-strength, selling 34 houses from their portfolio of 38.
Harmony Homes celebrated selling £3 million worth of properties in the first two months of operating.
Before that, directors Ashley Redford and Dawn Crosby had entirely different careers.
Ashley ran a successful hair dressers from her home. Dawn, meanwhile, worked in sales and management in the auto trade and furniture retail.
They both worked for a time at Rosie Fraser Real Estate, before venturing off on their own. And despite the harsh realities of setting-up a business in the post-pandemic, high-inflation period, the pair do not look back.
Ashley said: “I had a salon at the side of my house. I have three little boys and it worked really well with the children. “That was for 13 years. “I’ve always loved property and people.
“My husband and I bought and sold a few properties and I really enjoyed the process.
“When the children started school, I decided I wanted to do something else. I wanted to work and I wanted a really good job.”
Dawn said: “Selling is something I have a passion for and like Ashley, I have a massive passion for properties.”
What Ashley and Dawn say sets them apart from their competitors is their “hands-on” approach to selling. The pair say they are always on hand to speak to customers, making sure they’re kept up-to-date with the housesale process.
