Camilla Dell

Spear’s Review

Camilla Dell aims to ‘fulfil clients’ objectives and exceed their expectations’ – whether they are looking for a first or second home, buying for a child or investing in real estate – and has become a ‘go-to’ property expert for private clients. 

‘What inspired me to become a buying agent and set up Black Brick was the desire to “level up” the playing field and ensure that buyers get a fair deal,’ Dell told Spear’s. Off-market transactions make up more than two-fifths of the homes Dell’s firm sources for clients. Rarely taking no for an answer, she continues to deliver outstanding results for HNWs and UHNWs, including Middle Eastern royalty and billionaire European families.

Dell said Black Brick is currently expanding to support the needs of its client base, with a new ‘home management’ offering for international jet-setters who aren’t always around to take care of their properties. There’s also a broader focus on home searches in Surrey, the Cotswolds, Hampshire and Somerset. But London’s super-prime postcodes continue to perform ‘very strongly,’ she affirmed.
