Why Highland Homes?

Lisa was born in Perth and raised in London where she attended Primary and Secondary school, later moving to Strathpeffer when she finished her schooling at Dingwall Academy. On leaving school she moved to Edinburgh where she completed her Diploma in Art, Design and Photography.

Lisa has followed a varied career path throughout the UK from Graphic Designer to Pub Manager and Truck Driver, she then ran her own business designing and manufacturing public art installations and carved signs. Lisa joined Middleton Ross in 2010 as Property Manager.

As well as ensuring the smooth running of our Property Department, Lisa guides our clients through every step of their property sale, from getting their premises ready for the market to negotiating the best price on their behalf.

Lisa is still a keen artist and photographer and can regularly be spotted out walking the hills and pathways with camera in hand and her two dogs wandering beside her. She also has a keen interest in music and politics.

Born in Kent and raised in Sussex, Geoff moved to Ross-Shire in 2023 and is still in awe of the beautiful and dramatic scenery that surrounds him now. Having left school to become a truck and car mechanic, his varied career has seen him, amongst other things working with disadvantaged Young People to support their development, negotiate support for and investment in charities and third sector organisations on behalf of a Prince of Wales organisation, and act as a trustee for a large charity.

Since moving to the Highlands, Geoff has left the Civil Service where he worked as a Change and Project Manager and has joined us as a Property Sales Negotiator, supporting and guiding buyers and sellers through the process and making sure the communication across our property and legal teams ensures the best possible journey for our clients.

Away from work, he enjoys his time with his family and is an avid table top gamer. He also enjoys the cathartic aspects of creative activities such as writing, drawing, and singing – although he professes no skill in these activities.

Jill is originally from Fife and moved to the Highlands in 1997. Jill joined Middleton Ross in March 2022 as our receptionist and has gone on to also become our part-time property assistant.

Jill enjoys walking and spending time with her family.
