Jodie Allen from Fraser Allen Estate Management

Entrepreneur Jodie Fraser, the founder and CEO of Fraser Allen Estate Management, has been shortlisted for the Property Personality of the Year Award at the South West Property Awards 2023.

The awards celebrate the region’s most outstanding agencies, construction firms, developments and deals. They are judged by independent, regional experts in the field.

Jodie, 39, founded Fraser Allen Estate Management in 2016 and is already a multi-award- winning entrepreneur, having won numerous accolades including the Pandemic Response Award (awarded by industry body News On The Block).

The company has expanded across the South West, establishing offices in both Bristol and Cheltenham, and Jodie has made her life near Bristol. She says she’s delighted to be acknowledged by the Awards panel.

“Being shortlisted for Property Personality of the Year is not just an acknowledgment of what I’ve achieved, but a recognition of the passion, dedication, and innovation that drives myself and my team to shape the future of property management,” she said. “I am incredibly grateful for this honour and would like to thank Insider Property Awards for this recognition,” she said.

Jodie’s team are experts in block management and look after blocks of flats in Bristol and across the South West. They have also recently expanded into the West Midlands.

An important part of Jodie’s approach is an understanding that the buildings they manage are not just bricks and mortar, but people’s homes. Her drive has consistently been to understand what people need from the properties that Fraser Allen manage so that residents feel safe, secure and at home. Jodie and her team have gained a reputation for genuinely caring about the clients and residents they look after and it’s just one aspect of a company and personal ethos that makes Fraser Allen stand out in a competitive block management sector.
