Property firm Rettie & Co has strengthened its team in the upmarket Glasgow suburb of Newton Mearns.
Daniel Cohen has joined the estate agent as associate director on the southside of the city, boosting the firms’ leadership team in the area.
Mr Cohen, who previously spent a decade Nicol Estate Agents, will be based in Rettie’s Newton Mearns office, working with area director Kay Blair who joined from Clyde Property earlier this year.

He said: “Having grown up in the southside and lived and operated there and in East Renfrewshire, I’m excited to continue the next phase of my career with Rettie in Newton Mearns, working with colleagues across the southside, East Renfrewshire, and Scotland.”
Mr Cohen’s arrival was announced as Rettie reported its best-ever third quarter, including in the southside where some apartments and family homes as are selling for as much as 25% above their home report value. Rettie’s offices in Newton Mearns and Shawlands are showing strong growth in their immediate localities and across the areas of Giffnock, Pollokshields, Cathcart, Strathbungo, and Queen’s Park, the firm said.
Ms Blair said: “One of the drivers fuelling house price increases is families relocating and moving to the southside and East Renfrewshire to access high-quality state schooling. It is great to have Daniel on board in Newton Mearns, as we continue to build market share across East Renfrewshire.
"It is fitting to describe the current market as buoyant, with sales consistently achieving offers well above home report values.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
