Opening my own business, Caplen Estates has been the ultimate experience. Working with family can always be tricky but going into business with my brother has offered me a level of support I could have only imagined. Trust, empathy, drive and wanting the best for you and all those around you.

Property has always been of interest, I spent my early career in South London as a negotiator and progressed through the ranks for a large independent London-based estate agent. After 5 years I started my very own little family and have taken the plunge to join the family business. We are a tenacious team who are knowledgeable and ever growing, I am excited for the future with Caplen Estates.

After leaving school I studied Theatrical makeup in the West End, I met many walks of life and was able to make some amazing memories along the way. A pandemic later and I decided to leave the London life behind me and work closer to home. This is when I developed a great understanding for all thing’s maintenance and property management. I was then offered the opportunity to join the Caplen Estates family and I haven’t looked back! I have always been a social butterfly and enjoy being able to help others along the way.

KAREN ELLIS

Buckhurst Hill

I’ve always been passionate about property and have a background within the Construction industry, Customer Service and Hospitality, so when I was looking for a career change, I felt property was the right fit.

Renovating two homes, I have practical knowledge and hands on experience. I also know how hard, and stressful, selling a home and buying a new one can be, because of this, I pride myself on doing everything I can to make the process as easy as possible, adjusting to specific needs and being mindful of individual situations.

If I was selling my home, I would choose Caplen Estates.

Having worked in the corporate world for the past several years, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and expertise in property management, but I missed the agility and personality of a boutique company which Caplen Estates has given me. I’ve developed strong relationships with landlords, tenants, and contractors, which has given me a great understanding for delivering and getting the job done. I look forward to furthering my career with Caplen Estates.
