John Murphy
Director
MARLA, MNAEA
I've been in estate agency for the last 17 years and a lot has changed since we first opened in 2004. It?s been great to grow as a company as the area has developed, and now that we?re dealing with an increasingly global clientele even my 'bad' Cantonese comes in useful!
Michelle Gambier
Property Director
MARLA, MNAEA
I've used all of my knowledge from ARLA training over the last 13 years to grow the property management division from scratch into the smooth running machine it is today. Rest assured, it's me keeping abreast of all the legal and technical requirements.

I started working in lettings 13 years ago and honed my valuation skills working for 8 years in a leading auction house; valuing everything from castles to a MOD nuclear war Shelter, to a 'public convenience' in Fulham. I truly know the depth and breadth of the market.
John Miller
Lettings Manager
MARLA
I’m from a local family – my mother and grandparents grew up here in Bermondsey and Waterloo – so my knowledge of this area is second to none. I started out in PR and then trained in estate agency. I always aim to be ‘Top of The Table’ – just ask the opposition in our Sunday morning football league!

Problem solving: that’s what I do for our landlords. Making their lives easier so that they can enjoy their investments and not feel bogged down by them. Over the last 9 years my psychology degree, ARLA training and positive approach has helped me ensure a solution can always be found.

Senior Property Consultant
MARLA
Sportsmen make good salespeople. My time as a YTS and then a professional footballer at Millwall Football Club taught me how to be motivated, energetic, enthusiastic and never forget the bigger picture. I’ve always been South London based, from Brockley to Beckenham, so understand the nuances of this property market.
Vivien Li
Chinese Account Manager
BA Hons Accounting
My Chinese background and my personal experience of the Chinese economic boom in the last 20 years enables me to fully comprehend the needs of our Chinese investors. Having worked in a FTSE 100 financial company, couple with my BA(Hons) Accounting & Finance knowledge also empowers me to assist our clients to understand the increasing complexity of UK real estate investments, strong and secure ROI (return on investment) and the tax advantages for our foreign investors are a must!

Property is in my blood: my family has owned and rented here in London for the last 40 years. I started my career here at City Docklands and then used my International Business Management Degree to work in Lettings in Australia for three and half years before returning to live and work in SE1.
Stafford Dante
Consultant
I started my property career in 2015 but I have been on many building sites as a young kid as my father is a Constructal Engineer and an Architect. I have a natural competitive edge being an ex-professional basketball player which I apply to my property career but don’t be fooled and I still beat anyone 1 on 1
