Falmouth-based property search agent, Jayne Phillips-Choak was recently named Property Finder of the Year at the Association of Relocation Professionals awards dinner held in Westminster.

Event organisers said this years' winning application was "the best that they had seen since the awards were founded."

Jayne moved to Cornwall 40 years ago and has always worked in property, initially training as a realtor in Florida and then as an estate agent in Cornwall. For the past four years she has operated as a property search agent after building upon her own relocation experience and realising she could genuinely help people change their lives by moving to the Cornish coast.

She said: "I’ve personally been through what my clients are coming to me for help with, so I am in a unique position to really connect with them. I listen to their dreams but also help them see past the rose-tinted glasses and the need for compromise whatever their budget.

“My comprehensive viewing reports highlight positives as well as negatives, and projected incomes on properties being bought as holiday lets. I always recommend local property professionals and tradespeople after building a fantastic network of trusted collaborators here in Cornwall."
