Meet the Team

Jon Myers

DipSurv MNAEA MARLA

As you can see from my photo I am a little bald and overweight (okay, I know, a lot overweight but I can dream!). I am also a Director of East Yorkshire's best Estate Agent. 

I have been an Estate Agent for more than 20 years and love my job. I started working in property sales after studying Civil Engineering at Birmingham Polytechnic but then decided that building bridges and roads wasn't my cup of tea. 

I studied surveying through the College of Estate Management at Reading University and joined Mike Quick & Howard Clarke as a Director of Quick & Clarke in 2006.

We are a caring family firm and as a client you can always contact me directly on 07790 909008 if you would like to discuss the sale of your home. I am available at almost any time of the day or evening (except for my daughter's bath time!) but then I will always ring you back!

Our spankingly good website just gives you a brief insight into how we will promote and sell your home, but if you want to know anything else just give me a call or email me at jon.myers@quickclarke.co.uk

MA BSC (HONS)

I have had an interesting and varied career. After leaving Hymers College, Hull, I read Zoology at Sheffield University, but left this path after meeting Sarah Quick in my 2nd year, otherwise I'd probably still be studying burying beetles in the jungles of Borneo. 

After a Masters in Management at Newcastle University and a short stint at an agricultural firm, I joined my father's car dealership in Hessle. 

Confessing to having no interest at all in cars, I completed my Chartered Institute of Management Accountant Exams, all the while working on my true passion, property, and renovating a number of houses in my spare time. 

Joining Quick & Clarke in 2006 to work alongside my wife, I strongly believe that Quick & Clarke's honest and customer focused approach creates the greatest success for our clients.

Having been in Estate Agency since I was 16 I would like to say it has been 10 years but, sadly, 27 therefore confessing my true age!
Working in North and East Yorkshire specialising in Marketing, new homes, letting and Auctions, selling houses is my passion to which I believe I have the best job ever! I am trained and qualified to the Technical Award with the National Federation of Property Professionals and a Member of the National Association of Estate Agents.
 
Joining the Quick & Clarke team in 2006 as a Regional Valuer and progressing to Associate Director, I enjoy all the areas we cover. West Hull has been my specialised area over the last 20 years being based at Willerby. There is nothing better than reselling for the same families over the years. It was really good to return to Driffield with Quick & Clarke having worked in the area previously in my career.

Living in the centre of Beverley with my Husband, I really enjoy socialising but my husband would say my main hobby is shopping!

I am the ‘black sheep’ of my family!!   I left school at the age of 18 and was the only one in three generations not to join the family business – Robert Smith & Sons Timber Merchants. Instead I joined Constain Construction as a trainee quantity surveyor but found this boring so in 1972 I became I ‘Cadet Valuer’ in the Inland Revenue Valuation Office where I trained and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1976.  That was certainly the best training anyone could have in the property world but I was anxious to work in private practise so in 1978 I joined Tom Jackson & Son as the manager of their Hornsea office.  I moved to live in Hornsea shortly thereafter and have lived and worked there ever since.

After several mergers and a sell out to Property Leeds UK I reluctantly became part of Halifax Property Services but disliked the ‘corporate attitude’ towards estate agency. After three years or so I was fortunate enough to join Mike Quick & Howard Clarke, two of my old friends and competitors, and have been proud to have been a part of Quick & Clarke since 1998 providing a traditional and experienced estate agency service which puts clients’ interests first.
