HOWARD KINGSNORTH - Director - based in Tonbridge

Having worked in the industry for over 40 years, I was delighted to finally open the doors to Barnes Kingsnorth Estate Agents in July 2008. Throughout the many changes within the industry, I remain enthusiastic and committed to providing the very best customer service possible and enjoy the daily challenges. A keen footballer (now watching rather than playing), I am pleased to support, via sponsorship, both Tonbridge Angels Football club and Judians Rugby team. Living in Tonbridge with my wife Rachel and family, we enjoy all that the town has to offer including walks with Flora our family dog.

SARAH DROP - Senior Sales Negotiator - Tonbridge

Oh my goodness, I am not going to mention the years that I have worked in this industry, but let’s just say I have oodles of experience in many changing market places. I am kept extremely busy outside of work, with my lovely family of three children and of course head of the household our beloved dog Freddie! Enjoying hours of lengthy walks in the beautiful countryside which is literally on our doorstep! Making the most of our local events, socialising with my friends at the many events that Tonbridge has to offer – the annual Tonbridge Music & Food Festivals, dragon boat race, and (spectator only) at the marathons and triathlons.

LAURA EASINGWOOD - Sales Negotiator - Pembury

Hi I am Laura. I have been working in the Pembury Office for almost 2 years and come from running my own property maintenance company so know a lot about the industry.  I have lived in Pembury for 10 years and I grew up in Tunbridge Wells, so I know lots about the local area.  When I am not working, I am a busy mum to two young daughters. As a family we love to travel so are always planning our next adventure, either in the UK or abroad! When at home, we love going to the amazing beaches Kent has to offer or going for countryside walks with our dog.

I am a season ticket holder for Charlton Athletic Football Club and regularly attend matches. Along with walking my dog, I’m a real foodie and enjoy fine dining at the latest restaurants, with all my family.

Jill here….. also, a part time administrator in the Tonbridge office and together with Alison we take care of all the necessary paperwork, ensuring all the I’s are dotted and T’s crossed. I love reading and words so creating the descriptive text that helps to sell your home is my favourite part of the job. Tonbridge is a great town to raise a family and now with my own brood ‘flown the nest’, I enjoy trips to London to see the shows, walking the glorious, countryside with our GWP, Nelly and exploring the River Medway with my husband and his new canoe!
