WATERMANS EXPANDS ESTATE AGENCY WITH DIRECTOR APPOINTMENTS

• (L) Alistair Lee & (R) Darren Lee

Watermans, a law firm and estate agency based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, has announced the appointment of Darren and Alistair Lee as Directors, as the business seeks to expand its property offering throughout Scotland. 

Darren and Alistair, who bring considerable experience in property sales, will lead the estate agency side of the company alongside Tzana Webster, who has also been appointed as a Director of the Estate Agency division of the business.

The father-and-son duo have built up an enviable reputation as two of the most active estate agents in the west of Scotland and will add to the increasing level of market share and recognition that the business has been growing in the east of the country.

Scott Whyte, Managing Director at Watermans, said: “I am delighted to welcome Darren and Alistair to the Watermans team. We already had a long-standing working relationship with them, and when the opportunity arose to bring them into the business, it was a no-brainer.”

He added: “Their arrival will complement the fantastic work that Tzana Webster has done in significantly growing our Estate Agency business over the last 15 months. This will also allow us to progress our wider objective of growing the business throughout Scotland.  

I know Darren and Alistair can’t wait to get started, and I am excited to see the further progress this move will allow us to make in the remainder of this year and beyond.” 

Darren and Alistair join Watermans from Keller Williams. Throughout their time there, they held their spot as one of the top estate agency teams in the UK, and as Scotland’s leading performers.

Darren said: “From the moment I met Scott, I knew his company was going places. It is evident that Watermans is a business with a huge vision.

The management team encourage everyone to bring their aspirations to the table, and it is this group ambition that helps propel the business forward. Everyone works together to ensure that their clients receive the best service possible – and to work with a proactive legal team is refreshing.”

Alistair Lee, Director of Property Sales, also revealed that Watermans’ forward-thinking attitude played a huge factor in his decision to join the business.

He commented: “Watermans pride themselves on providing straightforward advice. No jargon, no fluff, just great service and getting the job done – and that’s what I am all about!

A huge advantage of joining Watermans is that I won’t be limited in my pursuit to grow the estate agency side of the business. I won’t be bound by old-fashioned traditions that often come with solicitor estate agents, and I will have the freedom to grow the business in a more modern market.”

With a team of experienced professionals, Watermans provides a considerable range of legal services to businesses and individuals across Scotland. It has strong expertise in areas such as family law, wills and executrices, injury litigation, estate agency, commercial property purchase, and residential property conveyancing.
