Carter Jonas has promoted Lisa Simon to head of residential.
Simon was previously head of residential lettings and was promoted to equity partner in 2017. She has been with the firm for more than seven years.
She will lead the team of more than 200 people specialising in sales, lettings, new homes and development and will join the board.
Mark Granger, chief executive of Carter Jonas, said: “As an outstanding leader, Lisa was the obvious choice to take up the mantle, and drive our residential business forward for the next phase of our growth.
“In October 2018, Lisa took over the direction of the residential sales branches in London and is ideally placed to ensure our sales and lettings departments work together effectively, capitalising on the benefits and opportunities of collaboration in the residential sector and beyond.”
Simon said: “As the industry evolves, so too must the way in which we support our clients. Over the last three years, great strides have been made to adapt our services and invest in new technologies to ensure we successfully respond to an ever-changing landscape in residential property.”
Simon replaces Rory O’Neill who held the role for four years. He will continue to lead southern residential business from Marlborough.
