  David Giles: A Passionate Leader in Estate, Letting agency and Financial Services

With over three decades of roots firmly planted in the Southbourne & Christchurch community, David is a name synonymous with excellence and innovation in the property and financial services industries. As the director of the Southbourne & Christchurch franchise for sales and lettings, as well as the head of a thriving financial services company, David has carved out a reputation for delivering unparalleled customer experiences and driving positive change within the sector.

A Career Built on Dedication and Excellence

David’s journey in the property sector began in the neighbouring areas of Bournemouth & Poole, where he successfully managed branches for a corporate estate agency. These years were instrumental in honing the skills and expertise that have become the foundation of his career. However, it was during this time that David realised a fundamental gap in the industry: the need for a more customer-centric approach.

Driven by a desire to do more with estate agency and redefine industry standards, David took the bold step of branching out independently. This pivotal decision marked the start of a new chapter, where the primary focus was no longer just on transactions but on building relationships, fostering trust, and creating tailored solutions for clients.

A Vision for Change

At the helm of the Southbourne & Christchurch franchise, David is committed to providing a first-class, personal experience that goes beyond the conventional. Recognising that buying, selling, or renting a property is often one of life’s most significant decisions, he ensures that every client receives the attention and care they deserve. The team, handpicked and meticulously trained, shares the same ethos of professionalism and dedication, striving to exceed expectations at every turn.

What sets David apart is the integration of financial services into the property business. As the director of a financial services company, he has created a seamless, full-service offering that simplifies the process for clients. From navigating the intricacies of mortgages to managing the finer details of financial planning, this comprehensive approach ensures that clients have all their needs met under one roof.

A Balanced and Active Life

Outside of his professional endeavours, David enjoys a rich and fulfilling personal life. He cherish time spent with his wife, Valentine, and their two sons, Wyatt and Carter. Family is a cornerstone of his life, and David makes it a priority to create lasting memories through shared experiences, including holidays and time together in Dorset.

An avid sports enthusiast, David embraces an active lifestyle, frequently visiting the gym. Staying physically active not only contributes to his personal well-being but also fuels the energy and focus needed to lead successful businesses. He believes that a healthy mind and body are essential for achieving balance in life.
