Tributes pour in for agent “with infectious giggle”

Tributes have been paid to an estate agent known for his “infectious giggle” and great sense of humour. 

Gerald Flint, who with Jonathan Crook formed the Hertfordshire agency Flint & Cook in 1996, passed away last week.

Local media in the country report that the team at Flint & Cook issued a statement saying: "It is with extreme sadness that we have to announce the sudden passing of Gerard Flint. Words really can’t express how we feel at this time.

”Gerard was beyond passionate about Flint & Cook, and it was due to his endless enthusiasm and drive that saw us move to our prestigious new offices at No 22 Broad Street.

"He was equally well known in [the agency] Hereford and Bromyard (where it all began and still flourishes at 37 High Street) as a quiet and considerate man who always offered his clients a valued service.

"As a ‘boss’ he was supportive and thoughtful, with a wicked sense of humour and an infectious giggle. He has left a strong, close knit team in which he and his partner, Jonathan, have instilled a strong work ethic and a commitment to continue offering our clients the professional, approachable and friendly service that Flint & Cook are well known for.

"Mandy, Matthew, Harriet, Charlie and all at Flint & Cook thank you all for your kindness at this time."
