Future of local, independent real estate agents announced

As announced, the real estate agency Jennie Platt Estates has been taken over.

Normie Estate Agents acquired Jennie Platt Estates on Bury New Road in Prestwich this month, bringing the number of rental properties it manages to almost 600.

The agency has its head office in the same city and this latest move is intended to mark an important milestone in its growth.

Josh Gertler, Director of Normie Estate Agents, said: “We are incredibly excited to welcome Jennie Platt Estates properties and clients to the Normie family.

She said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for both our customers and our team.

“Normie Estate Agents’ reputation for excellence and growth makes them the perfect choice to take over our North Manchester operation.

“I look forward to focusing on our city centre agency and continuing to provide excellent service to our clients.”
