An estate agent specialising in high-value sales has opened up about her past and touched on the massive changes in the industry impacting one of the region's most affluent suburbs.
Karen Parks has had a long and colourful career; she's lived abroad and even worked for the English National Opera in London for eight years. She returned to Formby in 2000 after starting a family, telling the ECHO: "It's a safe place and a nice place for kids to grow up."
She initially got into property sales when her son started nursery and she was "looking for something to do", eventually setting up Karen Parks Sales and Lettings with a business partner. They parted ways in 2020 and Karen joined the Formby office of Berkeley Shaw in February 2022 as head of residential sales for the group.
