Who we are
Max left the corporate world of Estate Agency in '94 and started Sowerbys because he wanted to make sure every client received a first class service.
He was quickly joined by business partner Lloyd Sandy, and the two of them have built the company and its reputation to where it sits today.
Much has changed in the last 30 years; but that ethos remains firmly at our core.
We were founded as champions for the communities of North Norfolk, deserving of an estate agent who is deeply proud of their home and determined to do right by their neighbours.
Today we are further afield, with eight branches across Norfolk, still delivering what the community deserves.
