Leading North East property firm Carvers has announced the appointment of Gary Stephenson as Valuer at its Darlington office, further strengthening the company’s growing presence in the town and reinforcing its commitment to providing exceptional service to local buyers and sellers.
With over 33 years’ experience in estate agency, Gary brings a wealth of knowledge to the role. Having started his property career as a sales negotiator in Durham City, he quickly progressed to Senior Valuer before being promoted to Branch Manager in Darlington in 2007. In this role, he combined hands-on market appraisals with the day-to-day management of the branch, a position he held until December last year.
Remarkably, throughout his career to date, Gary had worked for just one estate agency, making his move to Carvers an exciting new chapter.
Commenting on his appointment, Gary said: “After more than three decades with one company, joining Carvers marks a new and exciting step for me. Even from the outside, the quality of the business, its Directors, and its people, was clear to see, and that has only been reinforced since joining the team. I’m really looking forward to becoming an integral part of such a progressive and impressive company, growing its already exceptional reputation within the community and helping many more buyers and sellers achieve their goals.”
Gary’s wife, Sue Stephenson, also recently joined Carvers as a Senior Sales Negotiator at the firm’s Northallerton office, bringing further experience and expertise into the wider Carvers team.
Henry Carver, Director at Carvers, added: “We are delighted to welcome Gary to our Darlington office. His depth of experience, local knowledge, and reputation within the area make him a fantastic addition to the team. This appointment reflects our continued investment in people and our commitment to delivering the highest levels of service across the region.”
The appointment underlines Carvers’ ongoing growth in Darlington and its focus on building strong, experienced teams to support the town’s active property market.
