Annette Romanes
Annette is our Property Manager and works in our Estate Agency department. Annette has worked for Blackwood & Smith for over twenty years, having previously worked in the whisky industry and also a brief period teaching in the Middle East.
Originally from Kilmarnock and schooled at Kilmarnock Academy, Annette has lived in Peebles for 26 years. There are almost too many things to mention but with its central location, beautiful scenery, wonderful walks, busy social calendar and its lovely people Annette adores living in Peebles. Annette has worked at Blackwood and Smith for over 24 years and enjoys meeting new people.
Annette is passionate about property and knows the Peeblesshire market inside out. It is not unusual for Annette to carry out a valuation and be able to tell a homeowner that she has sold their house previously (sometimes more than once)! Annette’s greatest strengths are her outstanding negotiating skills. With more and more budget or online only estate agents around prioritising a quick sale and not necessarily at the best price, Annette’s traditional approach prioritising negotiation leads to many clients achieving a better price than they otherwise would with other agents.
Annette loves selling property and her favourite part of her job is securing a great sale price and making clients happy.
When Annette isn’t at work selling your properties she enjoys cooking, cleaning, reading and watching a good crime thriller. Annette loves travelling and has been lucky enough to live in and travel to lots of exciting places.
Annette’s three favourite things are: family, travelling and going out for delicious food.
