Growing up in Glengormley, the son of a Builder and an Estate Agent, Graham has a firm grasp of the local property market, and in the fabric of the homes themselves.

Arleen quickly gained an excellent reputation in the local area and was eventually appointed a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents in May 1991.
Understanding that the market was changing rapidly, and that the Private Letting sector was expanding, she set up the ABC Rental Centre in the mid 1990's. ABC quickly became the largest Letting Agent in Newtownabbey.
