Kimberley’s Independent Estate Agents are celebrating their twentieth anniversary of trading in Falmouth this month and during that time have become one of the leading independent agents in the town and surrounding area.

When Kimberley’s began in Webber Street in 1997, the property market was in a very different place. According to the Nationwide Building Society house price index, prices have risen by over a staggering 285 per cent in the past 20 years, meaning a house at £79,000 would now be worth more than £305,000 today.

Kimberley’s have helped their clients sell more than £700 million worth of properties during over the past two decades with over 6,500 families moving through the firm.

Steve said: "It comes as no surprise to my staff and I that Falmouth has become more popular with its vibrant town centre, water and seaside location and the new generation and growth of the university campuses in the town and in Penryn.

"Each one of my team has been specially selected to represent us in our local area based on their local knowledge, sales expertise and above all the customer service that they provide on a daily basis. Twenty years is a significant milestone in Kimberley’s Independent Estate Agents journey and I look forward to celebrating the next 20 years of achievement."

The company moved into its current office in Killigrew Street in 2004 and recently underwent a complete new branding to celebrate its 20th year. This included updating its offices, window displays, boards and details.

Steve added: "We have a passion for our business and genuinely believe that no other agent can offer a truly bespoke service like that offered by our dedicated and highly experienced sales and lettings teams. We work very much as a family unit with many members of my staff having been with me from the start of our business. I think that it is fantastic to be celebrating 20 years of excellence at Kimberley’s and my 35 years in the profession.

"We have always looked to support the community with plenty of events going on throughout the year. As a company we sponsor two major Rotary road races, various local football, cricket, rugby and bowls clubs, local school activities, and sponsorship at the Stithians Agricultural Show. All these things contribute to the community spirit of Falmouth and the surrounding villages and we feel we have a very important relationship to maintain with our local communities.

"Finally I would like to say a huge thank you to all my staff past and present, family, friends and our many clients."
