Meet Louise Higginbottom – A Familiar Face in Wakefield Property

With a career in estate agency that began back in 1986, and over 20 years of loyal service at Hodsons, Louise is truly one of the most experienced and knowledgeable members of our team – and an absolute pleasure to work with.

She’s seen it all over the years – from market highs and lows to the ever-changing rules and regulations of the property world. But through it all, Louise has stayed passionate about helping people navigate one of the biggest moments in their lives. Her calm, professional manner puts clients at ease, and her deep understanding of the local market makes her an invaluable asset to both buyers and sellers.

Local Knowledge You Can Rely On

Having lived and worked in the Wakefield area for decades, Louise knows the region like the back of her hand. Whether it's a terraced house in Horbury, a new build in Wrenthorpe or a character cottage in Newmillerdam, she can tell you what to expect – from local schools and amenities to which streets are hidden gems.

Her reputation in the area is second to none, not just among clients, but also among solicitors, surveyors, mortgage advisors and other agents. Louise has built solid professional relationships over the years that help make the whole sales process smoother for everyone involved.

Clients Love Her – and So Do We

One of the things we hear time and time again is how much our clients appreciate Louise’s honest advice, patience, and attention to detail. It’s not uncommon for buyers and sellers to pop back into the office just to say thank you – or to request her by name when returning to the market.

Her professionalism shines through in everything she does, and it’s a big part of why so many people trust Hodsons with their move.

Away From the Office

When she’s not expertly negotiating a sale or advising a nervous first-time buyer, Louise enjoys spending time in her home village of Newmillerdam. She’s often spotted out and about with her beloved dog Patch, enjoying the countryside walks the area is famous for.

And as a dedicated Wakefield Trinity fan, Louise can always be relied on for an update on how the team are doing.

A Real Credit to Hodsons

It’s not every day you get to work alongside someone with such an impressive track record, and we feel incredibly lucky to have Louise as part of the Hodsons family. Her experience, dedication, and friendly nature make her a real credit to our team and a huge part of why clients come back to us time and time again.

If you're thinking of buying or selling in Wakefield and want someone who truly knows the area and the business inside out – Louise is the person to speak to!
