A creative estate agency, built around people. Here’s who we are, how we began, and
what we’re working towards.
Adam Horton started in property at 17, and saw early on that the industry wasn’t built around the people it served.
In 2016, he became one of the first to bring the brokerage model to UK estate agency – a genuine pioneer of an approach now used across the industry: experienced agents running their own businesses under one trusted brand, backed by a central platform handling marketing, technology and support.
More than a decade on, Hortons is a UK-wide network of independent Partners and one of the most respected names in the industry. Every client works with their own personal agent – a Partner – so every home gets a genuinely personal service and reaches the widest possible audience.
What kind of Agent do you work with when moving with Hortons?
We don’t just list homes, we showcase the lifestyle and personality behind them.
Strategy, creativity and optimised content that puts every home in front of more of the right people.
Experienced agents with an intimate knowledge of their patch, and the advice to match.
Hortons wasn't built to scale fast. It was built to last.
Adam Horton opens his first business, Horton Estate Agents — the first agent in his hometown of Leicester to offer a true 'personal agent' service, with a single point of contact from start to finish. It set the foundation for everything Hortons is today.
