The ethos behind M.Coleman Estate Agents has also always been for the directors to lead from the front and that is why it is essential for me to continue to take a very active part in all the day to day activities of the business, including carrying out Sales and Lettings Market Appraisals, viewings and all other client contact." She also promotes the pursuit of excellence in all her staff and she gained her professional qualifications in 2005 when she successfully passed her Diploma in Residential Property through The Manchester Open Learning and continues her studies for The Diploma in Residential Lettings.
