Sue Desmond

Area Sales Associate

If I add that I am obsessed with the moon, paint and draw all the time as well as pyjama garden , people may think I am a weirdo!. I have lived in Newport and the surrounding area since the late seventies, when I moved from Birmingham. On leaving Newport Girls High School I followed a career in banking for many years before gaining a BA (hons) in Fine Art at the University of Wolverhampton and a PGCE in further education at Staffordshire University. I have worked in a range of educational settings across the county and West Midlands. In 2010 while selling my home I took an opportunity to work with a local estate agent and from then on I was hooked! Working within local communities and assisting people with life changing decisions is very rewarding while learning something new every day.

Niamh O’Brien

Sales Negotiator

Hi, my name is Niamh and I joined Nick Tart in February 2022 I started here on work experience, and I just never left!

People often ask me how I knew I wanted to be an estate agent and to be honest I kind of just stumbled into it, but I ended up landing on both feet, I’ve lived just outside of Newport, in the tranquil countryside my whole life, you’ll often find me out with my dog, up the field, in a sheep barn or riding round on my horse.

Working in Newport has allowed me to expand my local knowledge and build my confidence within the industry, People intrigue me massively so being able to hear people’s stories and finding them the perfect home is somewhat very rewarding to me,

Anyways back to me... I’ve played netball since I was about 7 and I still do it now I play for the local Tibberton team every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday depending on the season ofc! I enjoy walking my dog across the fields and napping on a daily basis and if I’m doing none of that then I’ll be sat on my phone online shopping!
