When you’re a South London graduate with a passion for travel, discovery, and a drive for personal growth, estate agency may not seem like an obvious choice of profession, but when you’re also fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese and you love, love, love everything to do with property, the way my career has panned out starts to make a little more sense. This is my journey, from part-time takeaway delivery driver to business development and sales manager with a team of my own, in eight short years (because every year doing something you enjoy seems to speed by).

I’m a long way from home, but I’ve never belonged anywhere more than where I am right now, because while I was born in Greece, my heart is most definitely in south London.

Hello, I’m Ed Hulme, director of Asian operations at GHE, and I’m here today to share a little of my own experience as an estate agent, both in the UK and in Hong Kong – where my team are currently based.
