Meet Our Team

Lorna Sayers

Lorna Sayers Customer Care Manager / Director

I have been lucky enough to have met some amazing people over the years and love nothing more than helping clients move home or find their next investment. I am so proud of my team they do an amazing job and are so passionate I could not ask for more. If I am not in the office, you may bump into me in any part of the world as I love to travel. So next time you are on holiday, and you see me in Spain having a sangria or Ireland having a Guinness, please say hello.

Karen Blight

Karen Blight Valuer / Director

I’m extremely proud to be part of such a fantastic team here at next2buy. Every team member is an asset to us, but if anyone of them try to tell you tales about my running, don’t believe them!

Sandy Murray

Sandy Murray Valuer

I have lived and worked in the local area for most of my life (age withheld ha ha! ). During the last 26 years I have worked as a Valuer in the Wallsend area and have met many lovely people and dealt with many situations, some sad and some happy, I truly believe in being honest and reliable and hope to deal with many more people in the coming years.

Lee Wood

Lee Wood Valuer

It has been an absolute pleasure to join the team here at next2buy, after many years in the commercial property and development industry it was an exciting prospect to join what was described to me as the finest estate agent team in the area. I haven’t been disappointed, they are all an exceptional group of people who care passionately about what they do. For relaxation I enjoy football, cricket and any sport I don’t have to do myself!

Sarah McFarlane

I have been part of the next2buy team since 2008 and the best part of my job is seeing a happy client on moving day. I am easy going, love to laugh and I’m always singing (in and outside of work).

Claire Graham

Claire Graham Sales Progression

My role at next2buy is as a Sales Progressor and I’m here to help your sale or purchase run smoothly. Having woked in Estate Ageny since 2001, I joined next2buy in 2009 and they make me work in an upstairs office on my own as I am apparently loud when on the phone!

Wendy Burbridge

Wendy Burbridge Sales Progression

After 3½ years working with another agent, I decided to accept Next2Buy’s offer to become a member of their Sales Progression Team. Having lived in the area most of my life, I’m extremely happy to be part of the No 1 Agent in Wallsend area. I absolutely love being able to help and assist clients with their house sales and purchases.

Angela McGhee

Angela McGhee Mortgage Advisor

Penda Financial Management Ltd. Director If I was a bird I would be a Lark or a Woodpecker, never happy unless I am busy and chirpy! My song would be Keep on Running by Spencer Davis if I was a musician. I cannot switch off if there is work to be done and I am one of life's work alcoholics. I am fastidious and eager to please and need get it right before I can relax.
