Meet the Team

Local people, independent business

Ginger is an independent estate agent that’s revolutionising the buying and selling experience. Ginger are passionate about what we do. Attention to detail is key when marketing homes and we thrive on seeing our homes sold and helping our vendors and buyers along their home-moving journey.

Founder, Carl Hemming
Sought after Property Expert Carl Hemming is the driving force behind ginger. After 20 plus years’ buying, selling and investing in property throughout the UK in the family business, he’s seen it all and learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. Frustrated with the industry, and observing the gaps first hand as a customer, Carl set about to create a new estate agency. The brief was to build a modern brand that moves with the times, focusing on online marketing, social media marketing and employing an experienced team. A modern business built around traditional values of honesty, hard-work and genuine customer service.

You can’t put a price on experience

The visuals and coverage of property marketing is super-important. However, the human side is paramount to getting the whole job done properly. Experience is everything. Our team of professional, knowledgeable and highly-experienced property experts drive the marketing and sales process through to the right conclusion. Ginger are proud of the people who work with us. We’re a friendly bunch, real people’s people, hardworking and have an amazing skills set; from visual marketing, customer services, sales, negotiating through to sales progression. We understand the industry, the people, processes and the issues.

Carl Hemming

DIRECTOR

As the business has grown over since 2015, Carl has built an amazing team around him to share the same work ethics, experience and deliver a fantastic service to our clients.

Carl’s role outside of the daily running of the business, is carrying out the appraisal meetings, offering clients advise on the best way to market their home, discussing values and moulding a bespoke marketing service around the client’s property and their moving plans. Carl also makes a mean cup of tea, although the team would like the the frequency to be increased.

BONE HIDER

Baxter is our handsome trusty office dog. Most of the time he likes to pinch slippers and run to the bottom of the garden! But when he isn’t up to adorable mischief he loves to snuggle in his basket under the office desk and while away the hours daydreaming of his favourite treats and his next, he doesn’t enjoy the company of other dogs. Feel free to come say hello if you see him on his local walk but please keep dogs at bay.
