Meet The Team
Carron Brown – Head of Lettings
I joined Kingswood Homes in 2014, bringing over 35 years of experience across Lettings, Residential Sales, and Land & New Homes. Starting as a negotiator and working my way up to senior management, I now lead our Lettings Division with a “never say never” attitude, ensuring every client receives expert guidance and support.
I have worked alongside Steven for 27 years, bringing vast experience across every property market. Sales progression is my passion—I guide each sale smoothly from start to finish, keeping vendors and buyers informed at every step. Matching someone with their dream home is still one of the greatest rewards of my job.
With over 35 years in estate agency, I have built my career on integrity, expertise, and personalised client care. From launching Browns Residential in 1989 to acquiring Fine & Country in Kingswood in 2008, and later Asprey Estates in 2016, I have always focused on delivering exceptional results.
Based at The Estate Office on Woodland Way, at the entrance to the prestigious Kingswood Warren Estate, Asprey Estates continues to reflect our commitment to experience, discretion, and outstanding client service.
Nikki Gillbanks – Sales Negotiator
I joined Asprey Estates after nearly three years as a negotiator with a local agent in Banstead, where I consistently received excellent client feedback. Having lived in the area for over 24 years, many may also know me from my previous 17-year career as a travel agent, where I developed a strong commitment to customer service and going the extra mile.
I bring a “can do” attitude to every client interaction, and customer satisfaction is always my top priority. Joining the team at Asprey Estates Kingswood has allowed me to continue building and nurturing vendor and applicant relationships in the local area.
