Meet The Directors At Debbie Fortune Estate Agents

Lisa Baines
Owner and Managing Director

Our Managing Director, Lisa works alongside, co-owner Neil and heads up our fabulous close-knit team across our branches, both in sales and lettings. Lisa has a wealth of experience spanning 30 years since her career in estate agency began in 1991, starting as an office junior and working her way up through upper management and eventually directorship. Lisa says, “I simply love our industry and never take for granted that I get to live and work in one of the most attractive and desired regions in the UK. I also get to work alongside a knowledgeable team that naturally strive to exceed client expectations and nurture long term relationships. This is the reason that so many clients return to use our services time after time, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their ongoing support”. When Lisa is not working, she can be found attending much needed fund-raising sponsorship and community projects that Debbie Fortune Estate Agents support locally, cooking for her very large family, or walking her two cocker spaniels, Jarvis and Bonnie, on the beach, close to her home in Uphill.
