History

JI Estates (formerly known as JI & Co) was established in the early 1990's by James Ickringill & partners and in that time has led itself to be one of the most respected and leading estate agencies in the Saltaire and Shipley Area.

In May 2011 the agency was aquired by Steven Gardner and the day to day running was taken over by himself. A former employee of the firm, who brings over 16 years experience of the Bradford property market to the business.

Steven...inspired by his late Grandfather – E. J Gardner FNAEA, who established an Estate Ageny & Valuers in Brighton & Hove during 1948, Steven has followed in his footsteps in becoming a Member of the National Association of Estate Agents. Priding himself on being an ethical, highly focused property professional with a hands-on approach and style to the marketing of property showing a commitment and dedication to the business now rarely seen.

JI firmly believes that there is no substitute for experience and whilst being professionally qualified is highly relevant and important, these are not necessarily a reasons for success. Steven’s successful track record and personal achievements in the estate agency industry over the last 15 years is a strong indictment for why JI will deliver where others may fail.

The closely knit team behind JI provides a highly personalised service for clients that is second to none. The work ethic is based upon team effort and a will to exceed the expectations of every client, irrespective of size, type or value of the property. JI believes that by providing open  honest and ethical advice about selling your home all of the marketing needs are fulfilled.
