Trevor Abrahmsohn

Spear’s Review

First and foremost, Trevor Abrahmsohn is a dealmaker. The firm he founded, Glentree International, has been in business for nearly 50 years and specialises in the north-west London corridor, from St John’s Wood into Hampstead, Kenwood and Hampstead Garden Suburb, including the Bishops Avenue, also known as billionaires’ row.

‘We have an extremely high success rate,’ Abrahmsohn told Spear’s, describing his somewhat unorthodox technique of getting deals over the line by bringing buyer and seller together in person. ‘These strategic meetings are difficult to organise, but they are central to the way we operate. They are our USP.’

‘Three out of 10 deals can be closed on the phone. The rest require special talents.’ Abrahmsohn describes one such encounter when a high-value deal was closed after an acceptable price was eventually shouted through the vendor’s car door, seconds before he was whisked away from the meeting by his driver. Another was sealed only when the two parties agreed to settle the price with the toss of a coin. What’s more, they stuck to it.

‘We use techniques that are homespun,’ Abrahmsohn said. ‘But they deliver remarkable results.’ He added that his firm’s mantra is: ‘Making the impossible possible; just takes a little longer.’
