AIPP Advisory Board

Tim started his career in accounting and finance with a major corporate employer and soon realised that his abilities would be more suited to the entrepreneurial world. In his mid 20’s Tim established a specialist financial recruitment company which grew to a multi-million turnover business employing 50 staff in 5 offices across the UK. During this time Tim had been building his own property portfolio and saw an opportunity to establish a new company offering a customer focussed specialist property investment service – hence ERE Property was established in 2004 under its original brand of Emerging Real Estate. Since then the business has sold over 5,000 properties in countries such as Montenegro, Brazil, Germany, Romania, Cyprus, USA, Bulgaria and more recently UK. He is proud to have held roles with AIPP for the last 3 years and is committed to helping to improve standards in this industry. His passion for property has not diminished – indeed it is stronger than ever and he believes that the opportunities for investment are as good as they have ever been.
