Meet Our Team

Home > Meet Our Team

Our team of negotiators and their support staff are without doubt the biggest single factor in our success. None of them have worked for any other estate agents before their current jobs, as we prefer to recruit really good people who come from a successful sales background. We then train them in estate agency and conveyancing. They all share certain abilities which make them particularly successful when it comes to finding the right bungalow for a particular buyer.

They actually listen to your requirements… they have an encyclopaedic knowledge of our property register and have a kind and caring manner, working tirelessly to find the right home for you.

Kim Nixon – Proprietor

Born and raised in Bournemouth, Kim is, and always has been, a local girl with an eternal love and loyalty for our town. Kim has qualified with a Quality Secretarial Certificate from the London Chamber of Commerce. Kim’s thoughts on the team are: “We really are like a big family and this attitude extends to our customers. Over the years we have met with plenty of success and a few hard times, but I can honestly say that we have never for one single moment regretted starting our company. The secret to our company’s success is largely the quality of our team, and it is these individuals who enable us to live the wonderful life that we enjoy”.

Gary Hudson – General Manager

Gary joined The Bungalow Centre in 2004, following a long and successful career in finance and international trading, and now oversees the many operations within our office with military precision. A thoroughly professional, ethical and trustworthy businessman, Gary says of his position with us: “I am very proud to be a part of such a well respected, established and successful company. We have an approach to buyers and sellers of properties that I feel would be almost impossible for any other company to match – in that we are not just another estate agent, but a group of sales professionals that also have a collective heart and conscience. The company richly deserves its good name and I look forward to playing my part in its future growth and success”.

Chris Meineck – Senior Negotiator

Chris, a self-confessed ‘workaholic’, has been at The Bungalow Centre since October 2009, originally specialising in the marketing of our properties but since having been promoted to becoming a Sales Negotiator and, more recently, Senior Negotiator, conducting viewings, agreeing and progressing sales, and valuing properties. Chris has an excellent knowledge of the local area, from the New Forest across to Wimborne and Poole. On his attitude towards work, Chris says: “Treat all clients like they are your friends and always be honest; talk in plain English terms, and always stick to your promises”.
