Jo Eccles

Spear’s Review

Jo Eccles has spent more than a decade building her business, Eccord, from its initial beginnings as a pure buying agency back in 2006 into a search and management firm of the highest quality. The 2021 Spear’s Award winner says: ‘No client or requirement is the same. We may be buying a family home, building a long-term buy-to-let portfolio with inheritance proceeds or for children, or advising on how to achieve the best yields on a rental portfolio.’

Under Eccles’ stewardship, the firm has earned a gleaming reputation for discretion, honesty and insight. ‘We continue to believe that in London’s competitive property market it is essential to have expert representation you can trust,’ she adds.

The team are renowned for their creative and focused search process, acquiring 67% of properties off market last year. Eccord also provides property management services, overseeing £1.5 bn of residential property.
