This year marks a truly special milestone for us here at The Purple Property Shop – we are officially celebrating 15 years in business! It’s a moment that has us feeling proud, nostalgic, and above all, grateful. From our earliest days working around the dining table to becoming one of Bolton’s best-known family-run estate agents, the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
From Dining Table Dreams to a Thriving Agency
Back in 2010, The Purple Property Shop began as a simple idea fuelled by passion and determination. There was no shiny office, no large team, and no endless resources – just a commitment to do things differently. We believed that estate agency should be personal, transparent, and caring, not cold or transactional.
From those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a thriving agency at the heart of the Bolton community. Our purple branding has become a familiar sight, and our team has grown to include dedicated property professionals who share our values. But despite all that growth, one thing has never changed: the way we put people first.
Milestones That Matter
Over the past 15 years, we’ve reached many milestones, but the ones we treasure most are the moments that connect us with people.
- Our very first sale will always be etched in our memory. Handing over those keys was more than a business transaction – it was a moment of trust and joy that set the tone for everything that followed.
- Helping generations of families has been one of the greatest privileges. We’ve sold homes for clients who then came back years later with their children, trusting us to help the next generation take that big step onto the property ladder.
- Being part of the community has always been central to who we are. From sponsoring local events to supporting schools and charities, Bolton and Bury isn’t just where we work – it’s where we live, where our children grew up and went to school, and where our roots run deep.
Stories That Stay With Us
Over the years, so many stories have touched our hearts. We’ve supported first-time buyers who were nervous about making such a big commitment, only to see them overjoyed when they stepped into their very first home.
We’ve helped families facing the bittersweet task of selling a beloved home filled with decades of memories, guiding them with sensitivity and care.
We’ve celebrated with investors, landlords, and tenants who have trusted us to manage their properties as if they were our own.
It’s these stories is the human side of property that remind us why we do what we do.
What Our Clients Say
Our proudest achievements aren’t the awards we’ve won, but the words of thanks from the people we’ve worked with:
“The Purple Property Shop made selling our home stress-free. They kept us informed at every step and genuinely cared about us as people, not just clients.”
“We were nervous first-time buyers, but the team held our hands through the whole process. We’ll never forget their patience and kindness.”
Every thank-you card, every smile at key handover, every recommendation passed on to a friend means the world to us.
Looking Ahead
While we’re taking a moment to celebrate 15 amazing years, our eyes are firmly on the future. The property market will continue to evolve, and so will we, embracing new technology, fresh ideas, and innovative ways to support our clients. But one thing that will never change is our heart: the same family values, warmth, and personal touch that have been with us since day one.
So, here’s to the last 15 years and to the exciting road ahead. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds.
From our family to yours, thank you for making The Purple Property Shop what it is today. Here’s to many more happy years of helping you find not just houses, but homes.
