Meet the Team..

Bellevue is a  well proven independent company. All of our team have lived in the locality for the greater part of their lives and so have an unrivalled pool of knowledge about the area and the community. We enjoy excellent staff retention which ensures continuity and consistency of service.  We are a friendly, hard working and conscientious crew, with a genuine enthusiasm for our chosen field.

Geoff Conway

Director

Geoff has been an Estate Agent in the locality for 40 years. He set up Belle Vue Property Services in 2003. The company is now the longest established independent sales and lettings agency in the area. He is a “hands on” Director dealing with all aspects of the day to day running of a busy Estate Agency. Over the years Geoff has been Chairman of the nationwide TEAM group of independent agents, a qualified financial advisor, and a consultant to a number of national property related companies. He combines this unrivalled level of experience with a keen interest in new technology and developments in the industry. He is, as the Belle Vue Mission Statement states – “Ethical. Efficient. Effective”.

Dave O’Rourke

Office Manager

David has worked at Bellevue since 2002 and there are very few individuals who can rival his exceptional levels of experience and ability.

As Office Manager, Davids’ wealth of accrued knowledge allows him to immerse himself on all areas of the business including sales, lettings and management. His main focus, however, is undertaking valuations, listing new instructions, and sales progression.

David takes great pride in every aspect of his role but this is especially evident in his management of ongoing sales progression. His determination and willingness to “go the extra mile” has seen him become one of the most effective and respected sales progressors in the business. His thorough understanding of chains and the conveyancing process has resulted in him frequently having to advise other agents in our sale chains as to the best method of overcoming their difficulties, enabling our clients sale to go through to completion. Many of our competitors consider it “normal” for just 60% of the sales that they arrange to succeed. We expect around 85% of our sales to reach completion. As David often remarks – There’s more to selling houses than finding a buyer…

David has lived in Southchurch for all of his life and is an active member of the local community, running weekly youth groups and organising annual holiday trips for the youth of the locality. He considers himself fortunate that he can contribute to the community by being on the board of two local charities, set up to help both children, and the homeless.

Sue

Sue Conway

Office Administration

Sue is a Director of the company, a graduate, and provides invaluable support for the whole office.

Committed and hard working, Sue is a team player. One of her principal roles is accounts work, overseeing the processing of clients’ monies in our Management Department. However, her long association with estate agency ensures that she is familiar with all aspects of our office practices and she can deal with customer enquiries regardless of whether they are sales, lettings or management related.
