our staff

Robert Nicholls BA (Hons) - Principal

Born and bred in Kinver, Robert helped form Midcalf Nicholls in 1992, having returned to the area after some years in Kent.  A graduate in economics, he continues to enjoy the challenge of running his own business and is keen to keep the firm moving forward, embracing new technology, where appropriate, but also retaining the best aspects of traditional estate agency. 

Tracy Elbro BA (Hons) – General Manager
A graduate in surveying, Tracy joined the firm in 2002 and has a thorough grounding in all aspects of estate agency, as well as invaluable technical knowledge.  She was promoted to her current position, covering both the Kinver and Stourbridge offices, in 2006, following the retirement of Stuart Midcalf.

Anneke Fice MNAEA – Branch Manager (Kinver)
Anneke is a trained valuer and holds the National Association of Estate Agents' technical award. She is passionate about her full time role in the Kinver office.

Julia Hughes – Home Stagings Expert
Julia assists the firm by conducting accompanied viewings.  With a long-standing passion for property, and the ways in which it can be adapted to suit individual requirements, Julia is perfect for this role.  With a background in interior design and antiques, Julia is also a home stagings expert and offers a highly competitive house doctoring service, increasingly employed, to extremely good effect, by clients to clinch the all-important sale.  Free consultations are available, without obligation, on request.

Jane Sadler – Senior Negotiator
Jane originally joined the firm in 2002 to provide relief work during busy periods and to cover colleagues' annual leave. Her contribution was, however, so appreciated by staff and clients alike that she agreed to take on a permanent position in our Kinver office and is now involved in all aspects of the sales process.

Sarah Walton – Negotiator/Administrator
Following successful completion of her A’levels at Edgecliffe School’s six form college, Sarah has joined us as a trainee and is combining on-the-job experience with the Estate Agency Apprenticeship scheme.  Currently working towards the National Association of Estate Agent’s technical award, she is an enthusiastic and valuable member of the team.

Katharine Matthewson – Senior Negotiator
Katharine brings a wealth of experience to her role of senior negotiator. Based in our Stourbridge office, she looks after clients’ needs both pre-sale and in terms of ensuring the smooth progression of sales, once agreed, through to completion, liaising effectively with solicitors, surveyors, other agents and mortgage advisors.
