Who We Are

  • Acara Property Management

    A

    Acara started as a hands-on property management service in 2012, which introduced a development and refurbishment arm with a full time building team in 2015, which then extended to include a lettings and sales arm in 2019. We also gain more and more industry partners every year. So we decided in 2020 to share a brand, adopt shared values and work closer together. We benefit from being a wider team with more skills and brains whilst sharing overhead costs and promotion efforts. We are multiple companies all working within the property industry. Acara is a therefore a property brand that represents the below values and means we can cater for all our client’s property needs.

    "I started Acara in 2010 with three aims; to not be an estate agent, to avoid expensive solutions to simple problems and to be hands-on. That's still the backbone of our service today, but with more people and technology!"

    Founder and Director

    BLOCK MANAGER
    J

    James has the broadest career history of all of us. Scots Guards for The Queen, Dog Handler, Security, operations, logistics and facilities management. Now a master building manager. If there was a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for skills knowledge, James wouldn't be working here. Shame.

    Sandra Owen

    FINANCE
    S

    Sandra helps keep us financially ship shape - which is 90% kicking everyone repeatedly for their receipts. She manages to raise invoices do book keeping at the same time as creating automations on our custom property management platform. There are so many hidden talents, we can't make this page long enough. But if we reach a dead end with something, Sandra has probably read a book or done a course on it.

    Nillo

    HR
    N

    Nillo's experience in HR is questionable, but what he lacks in knowledge he makes up for in enthusiasm and love. We asked him if he would prefer a role as a mascot or welfare officer, but apparently not. HR is his calling. As well as balls of all kinds.
