Lucie Wishart FNAEA DipREA

Lucie Wishart FNAEA DipREA

Director

Lucie Wishart founded Wishart Estate Agents in 2013 with a clear vision: to offer a more personal, high-standard estate agency service rooted in trust, transparency and results. Since then, her passion for the industry and her clients has seen the company grow in strength and reputation—taking home numerous customer service awards at The ESTAS.

A Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents and holder of the Level 6 Diploma in Residential Estate Agency, Lucie is among the most highly qualified estate agents in the country. Her dedication to professional standards is something she instils across her team, mentoring each member through their own qualifications and development.

Lucie was joined by long-standing team members Alison, Jenny and Erica and together, they deliver a tailored and reliable service that has earned the trust of sellers and buyers across York, Tadcaster and the surrounding villages.

When she's not guiding clients or marketing homes, Lucie lives in a picturesque village between York and Tadcaster with her husband, two sons and their much-loved Pug. A property enthusiast through and through, she spends her spare time renovating her own homes and sharing honest advice with others doing the same.

Whether you’re selling, buying, or simply seeking some guidance, Lucie is always happy to help. With over 20 years in the property industry and a vast network of trusted professionals, if she can’t solve the problem herself—she’ll know someone who can.


Erica Hornsby

Erica joined the team in 2023 initially providing day to day support and admin assistance, however her passion for property soon took off and she has progressed though every stage of her training with ease and an outstanding ability to connect with people. Her natural confidence, attention to detail, and genuine interest in helping others have made her an integral part of the team.

Now fully trained and embarking on her level 3 examinations Erica supports clients throughout their journey with professionalism, warmth and a proactive approach that reflects the high standards we uphold at Wishart Estate Agents.

Her multifaceted role includes not only estate agency but also social media. Erica is often the first point of contact within Wishart Estate Agents which is when her polite and helpful attitude shines through. She almost single handedly deals with the company social media and has increased our visibility tremendously since joining the company.

Another local team member, Erica has slotted into the Wishart Estate Agent family perfectly, we don’t know how we managed without her. 


Alison Wright

Sales Progression

Alison joined forces with Wishart Estate Agents in 2016 following a successful career with a large, corporate sales progression firm. Her knowledge of the process is excellent and her tenacity and dedication to getting our clients' sales to a successful, stress free completion is, we believe, unrivalled in this industry. She is on hand every step of the way, from accepted offer, to key handover.

Alison has productive relationships with many local solicitors, assisting wherever she can; this is a huge advantage when guiding your sale to a successful completion.

Alison provides our clients and purchasers with everything they need for a simple sale progression, from contact details for local solicitors, surveyors and removal firms to access, negotiation and sometimes, the odd bit of mediation.

We know how stressful the final stages of a sale can be, that’s why, with Wishart Estate Agents, you always have Alison, your personal Sales Progressor.
