Meet The Team

ROB DELANEY

Work Profile

I have been involved in the property market for over 20 years, starting at the bottom and working my way to the top within some of the largest agencies in the country. In 2010, I decided that I would set up my own company to bring back customer service, where we put the customer at the forefront of our business. We are a family run business and I have a fantastic team supporting me, as we continue to grow.

Interests

My agency and my girls take up most of my time, but when I am not working, I love to climb mountains with Kilimanjaro and Everest being my biggest accomplishments to date. I also love walking and camping.

Julian Hall

Work Profile

I started my estate agency career as an office junior at Bairstow Eves, Barkingside in September 1980. After progressing to Assistant Manager by 1985, I was enticed to sell timeshare in Tenerife and the Costa Del Sol until I returned to BE in 1987. I then set up a company selling oversees property in 1989 and through this, I ended up running a B&B in Northern France in 1994 with my wife and eldest son who was only 6 months old at the time. I returned to BE again in 1994 and ran one of the most successful branches in the Countrywide group. I met and helped nurture Rob during this period before setting up my own agency called Link Homes in 2001. After selling that business I worked at Beresfords, Gidea Park for 3 years before joining the best estate agency in the whole wide world 5 years ago. I now only deal with the higher end properties, commercial and new homes.

Interests

Water and snow skiing, wind surfing and I have attended the same gym in Seven Kings since 1983! I can play golf but I`m not very good at it. I love the band Level 42 and have seen them 62 times over the last 36 years. I have been married for 25 years and have two sons who both went to Squirrels Heath and Emerson Park schools. I have lived in Hornchurch and Gidea Park for most of my life.

I love helping clients realise their dreams. Having worked in the industry for over 29 years my experience is extensive and my mission is to give every client the best possible service whether you're selling or renting your home. I have been working at Delaney's after being approached by Rob Delaney to come on board. I worked alongside Rob back in 2006 in a different capacity and we made a successful team. I have worked through two recessions in my time and I know how to adapt to difficult market conditions so you know you're in safe hands.

I have a wonderful family and live in Havering and enjoy swimming, badminton, socialising and holidays with my children.

Rob's associates have been carefully selected from the very finest agents in the business to form a close-knit family run business offering first class assistance to our clients. Our focus as a company is on getting the best result for our clients and ensuring their home purchase or sale proceeds smoothly along the way. I now head-up the Harold Wood office leading a dedicated team creating a working environment in a friendly, hardworking and professional manner, all of which I am very pleased to be a part of.

CAT DELANEY

Work Profile

I started work in the City, where I trained to be an insurance underwriter for some years, I soon realised that running my own business was my ambition so waved the City goodbye and ran my own local florist successfully for 4 years. I built the florist up to an enviable position in the area and sold it to start a family. After a few years of being 'just mum', I became a benefits advisor for a leading benefits specialist. When Rob decided to set up his own business, I happily supported him and jumped on board, and am the accounts manager for the company.

Interests

I have three beautiful girls, and they take up a lot of my spare time, but when they do set me free, I love to exercise. I particularly enjoy hatha yoga, and competing in mud runs to let off some steam. My biggest passion is painting, I am an oil painter and my dream is to have my own exhibition of works.
