“There is a romance to a property and there is something about a home that you can feel when you walk
into a great one, but really the ability to come up with a figure has to be based on a real science.” – Kieran Clair

“The thing I’ve enjoyed most is it is a process whereby you get to go into somebody’s home
and fro 20 minutes sort of become part of the feel of that place.” – Kieran Clair

“You get that sort of contact with people and the way they live and I got to do that several times
a day and I find that immensely enjoyable.” – Kieran Clair
