Michael Devlin

Managing Director

I have been involved in the property market since 1981. I have experienced the highs and lows of recessions, peaks, inflation, boom and bust, and everything associated with the Northern Ireland property market over the last 30 years. I gained my experience in Brian Morton and co., mckibbon and co. and as a director with the Abbey National/Cornerstone Estate Agency organisation. I am a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and Managing Director of Hampton Estates which I started in 1999.

The property business is all about people.

I still get a buzz about meeting new clients and old clients, hearing their stories and helping them in whatever way I can. I get a real kick from selling a house and I know my staff share my enthusiasm.

It is the best business and the only business I know. I hope I can be of service to all my clients for many more years to come.
