Joining Hannath in 2013 was a well thought out decision for Ciaran; he believes it is the most trusted estate agency brand in Mid Ulster which offers clients a level of service and resources unmatched by the competition. After five years of hard work Ciaran is a now co-owner & director within the company and will continue to set standards in terms of both; performance & service.

Jamie is our Sales Negotiator and joined the Hannath team in March 2023 for his second spell with the company.

He initially joined the team in July 2020 as a placement student on behalf of Ulster University to help gain structured and professional work experience. Jamie was involved across all 4 departments, sales, lettings, commercial and professional services. This valuable experience allowed him to develop, refine and reflect on his key personal & professional skills. Jamie continued part time employment with us throughout his final year of university.

Jamie later graduated with a 2:1 in Real Estate BSc and decided to pursue a commercial pathway with one of the leading commercial property consultancies in Belfast in June 2022. From there, he worked within the management and agency department. Jamie mainly assisted with managing an extensive portfolio on behalf of the company's clients as well as acting on behalf of landlords to secure tenants.

He soon realised that he was more passionate when working in the residential sector. He missed the customer journeys and the personal side of dealing with people's homes. This encouraged him to join Hannath once again when the opportunity arose.

Outside of the office, Jamie loves football and plays for his local football team Moira Albion FC. He also enjoys travelling to new countries and spending time with his family, friends and his dog Toby.

When she isn’t working, Linzi enjoys meeting up with friends, having lots of play dates with the kids, and renovating her ‘fixer upper’ – one room at a time!
