Jake Russell

Spear’s Review

The Russell family – and their firm Russell Simpson – are well known in property circles, and Jake Russell, one of founder Alan Russell’s four children, is rapidly identifying himself as a star. Head of sales at the firm, his expertise in Notting Hill, Holland Park, Kensington and Chelsea is highly regarded.

Russell Simpson prides itself on its longevity and status as a top-end boutique agency for more than 40 years. Its success is almost certainly, at least in part, attributable to its family orientation. ‘Having your name above the door means we feel personally responsible, so we probably put in that little bit of extra graft, and that makes us stand out to clients,’ Jake Russell says.
