Marcel Esau –Lettings Manager

Being born and bred in South Africa (Cape Town) Marcel moved to London about six years ago and since then he has not looked back.

Having spent years in working sales from marketing to retail management he felt there was something missing and that was his love for property. He put his past experience and passion together and started his career with one of the largest agents in the UK heading up the lettings department in the Surrey Quays office. After being there for several years he felt he needed a bigger challenge by coming to the most competitive market in London, the West End.

He now heads the Outlet Lettings team and very quickly came up to speed in such a competitive and exciting market. He thinks a far bigger picture and aims to offer better services beyond that of the normal real estate agent.

Marcel Esau - Q and A

What inspired you to work in property?

I have always  loved  property,  I was only a teenage when I got my first flat which needed  to be completely remodelled and I loved every minute of it.  From this experience I knew then what I wanted to do for the rest for my life.

What values do you feel are important in working for Outlet?

Honesty and integrity are key factors as well as listening closely to our Landlords and Tenants and to give that personal yet professional touch.

Where is your favourite place to live in London?

My favourite place in London would have to be Waterloo, it just makes me feel at home. I have been there for the last five years and it is just one of the most convenient places in London with the ability to easily commute to anywhere you want go. In addition there are some really good  bars, restaurants, schools and shops. What more do you want really?  It’s just a really fantastic place to live! .

I like the simple adventures - my best night would be to take my family to the movies and then grabbing some tasty chicken at Nando’s.
