Meet the Business Owner

John H.

Business Owner

It was the summer of 1996, and John Horton knew nothing about property. After walking into a local estate agency hoping to use their fax machine, it turned into an impromptu job interview and two days later — still knowing nothing about property — John was handed the keys to a company car and sent off to value some houses.

Sixteen years later, he’s still going strong — but now at his own company, Horton & Garton, which he opened in 2007 after 10 years of working in Hammersmith for a couple of corporate chains.

Given such an unexpected start to his career, it’s no surprise that John doesn’t consider himself a typical estate agent. He favours building relationships over hard-​sell tactics and as an atypical estate agent himself, John also prides himself on hiring staff who don’t fit the mould either. «A lot of agencies are driven by targets and testosterone,» he says. «I just want a customer to walk in and think, ‘These are the kind of people I want walking around my home».
