Georgie Evans: Local expertise, global perspective
Having grown up in the charming town of Sherborne and studied at Leweston, Sherborne has always held a special place in my heart. My upbringing in this historic Dorset town instilled in me a deep appreciation for its community, architecture, and countryside charm.
After school, my curiosity for the wider world took me to Nepal, where I spent time teaching. This experience not only broadened my perspective but also deepened my understanding of people and their diverse needs—a skill I bring to my property career. I then pursued my degree at Oxford Brookes University, a time that solidified my love for learning and problem-solving. Like many young professionals, I sought the fast-paced life of London after university, but it didn’t take long to realize that the countryside and community spirit of Sherborne were irreplaceable. My heart was always in Dorset, and I soon made the decision to return to the county I call home.
I launched my property career in Wareham, where I spent seven years honing my skills in the dynamic world of real estate. These years were invaluable, providing me with in-depth experience in managing a wide variety of property transactions and helping countless clients find their dream homes.
When the opportunity arose to return to Sherborne and contribute to the community I know and love, I didn’t hesitate. It felt like a natural full circle, bringing my career back to where my journey began. Working on familiar turf, I am excited to leverage my local knowledge and reconnect with the people and places that have always been so significant to me.
I bring a unique perspective to my work—a balance of local expertise and a global outlook shaped by my experiences abroad and in the city. I’m passionate about building relationships and helping clients navigate the property market, whether they are looking to find their first home, expand their portfolio, or settle into a community that means as much to them as Sherborne means to me.
When I’m not working, you can find me exploring the countryside, enjoying the vibrant community life Sherborne has to offer, or revisiting some of my favorite local spots from childhood. I believe that home is more than just a place; it’s a feeling, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients find the perfect property to call their own.
With my roots firmly planted in Sherborne and my career shaped by experience both near and far, I am thrilled to be back where it all began. I look forward to serving the community, forging new connections, and helping others find their own piece of this beautiful corner of Dorset.
