Founded by Darren Somaiya and based in Willesden Green, Portland is an estate and lettings agency built on the power of relationships. From humble origins, we’ve grown into one of North West London’s top-recommended local agencies.
At Portland Estate Agents, our clients aren’t just numbers on a balance sheet. They’re real people, with real lives, hopes and aspirations. We know that doing our best for them means understanding where they’ve come from, and where they want to go.
That’s why we’ve placed you at the heart of everything we do. Seller, buyer, tenant or landlord, we take time to get to know you, and truly understand what matters to you.
Throughout his 20-year career in the property market, our founder Darren Somaiya has seen the good, the bad and the ugly of estate agencies.
Surely, there was a better way: an agency that’s focused on building relationships. That prioritises people over profit and great service over sales. That puts their clients’ needs, goals and aspirations at the heart of everything they do.
So in early 2015, Darren Somaiya founded Portland Estate Agents as a remedy to an industry that had forgotten what mattered.
Years have passed since we set up shop, but our ethos remains the same. Portland is what it is today because of the people within it, and the clients we serve. Our people care – about their work, our clients and each other.
We take this responsibility incredibly seriously. Whatever your journey, and whatever you wish to achieve, we’ll do all we can to deliver the best results for you, your home and your future.
Portland was created to be a force for good in the estate and lettings industry. Here’s just a few of the ways we’re making an impact.
Our people are the backbone of our success. We’re a close-knit team united by the values we hold and the vision we share, dedicated to building strong client relationships. It’s why our clients (and our team) tend to stay for the ride.
Forget tick boxing and sales targets – it’s happy clients that count. Our clients rate our service because it’s genuine; we really care about the outcomes we deliver, and we’re only satisfied when our clients are.
We never stop learning. In an ever-changing market, we’re constantly refreshing our expertise through regular, company-wide training and development. We invest in ourselves, so you can invest confidently in us.
Selling, buying, renting or letting a home is a highly personal experience. That’s why we don’t offer off-the-shelf solutions, but take time to understand you, your circumstances, and what matters most to you.
