Introducing the Hills Team
Passionate about what we do. Here to serve the people of Salford and Greater Manchester and dedicated to helping you find your perfect home. Meet the multi-award winning team of property professionals at Hills.
Our story
Hills began with our managing director, Martin. Having worked in the property industry all of his professional career, Martin became frustrated with the bureaucracy he saw day in, day out. The systems were slow and lacked innovation. The simple business of selling houses was made long-winded and inflexible.
His solution? Start his own agency – Hills – from the ground up. In 2012, Martin embarked on this new adventure. Working with, and collaborating with some of the best, most respected property professionals in the business, the agency and the team has grown, year by year.
