Katy Tsigarides (née Bryant)
director
i have worked in estate agency for many years now and have always had a passion for property and a strong belief in good customer service. in 2009 we formed masonbryant and i am so proud of how far we have come. every day is so different in this industry and i relish the challenges that it can bring myself and my team, we all have one common goal which is to help our clients move home in the best way possible. i spent many years of my early working career working in the city of london, this gave me a true work ethic and i believe the experience to run my own business, as well as a deep understanding of marketing and customer first philosophy.
i am very passionate about every part of my business and the local area, but when i am not working i love to spend time with my family, friends and my fur-babies! my husband sof and i love formula one, travel and socialising – when masonbryant allows!

my business career has always been strongly within sales and marketing. whilst i am a director at masonbryant sales, along with my wife katy, i am more of a silent partner. i currently hold a senior business manager role within a communication company. my strengths are my marketing skills and my ability to understand and manage a team. whilst i can’t be with masonbryant daily, i strive to bring my experience to the team whenever we are together. i play a large part in the marketing, business running and the promotion of the business. while i have my own career as mentioned, i will always support the excellent team here at masonbryant and enjoy the times and days i am at the office helping our clients, sellers and buyers.
when i’m not focusing on work, i then share the f1 bug with my wife. after that my pleasures are my family, home time, our fur- babies and, if time allows, the odd round of golf and a holiday!

having spent 23 years of my career in london i was excited to move back to the eastbourne area when my daughter was born. i’ve always been proud of my hometown and it’s great to be near to family and the sea.
my time spent in london was predominantly in finance, although i did work in advertising and publishing for the early part of my career which, when i moved to chicago for 3 years, inspired me to study and i subsequently completed an associate degree in advertising & design.
i’ve always had a passion for property so i was delighted to join the masonbryant family in 2021. i truly believe home is where the heart so i enjoy being a part of our customers property journey and am passionate about supporting our clients every step of the way.
my interests include travel, cooking and keeping fit. i love discovering new cultures, architecture, and cuisines and when keeping fit i particularly enjoy running, yoga and cycling the local area. i have also found a recent interest in upcycling, so if it’s not shabby chic yet it might soon be!

I have recently joined the team after spending over 10 years in a customer service role within the retail industry. I took a leap of faith leaving behind what I knew for so many years, to pursue a career in the property industry, and haven’t looked back since. It has always been a dream of mine to work within property and I am grateful to begin my journey with such a wonderful and friendly family run business like masonbryant. I’m really looking forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, exploring the local community, and getting to know the familiar faces in the area.
I feel privileged to have lived in Eastbourne my whole life and decided many years ago that I would continue to reside here with my children, who love being so close to the seaside as well as the beautiful surrounding countryside.
I am passionate about living life to the fullest so when I’m not at work (or the gym) I like to be making memories with my two children, socialising, going on long walks, and cooking new recipes.

coming from a creative background, my move into estate agency might seem like a wildcard, but it was driven by a desire for an exciting and challenging career. i have grown up surrounded by talk of the property market, with my dad having worked in construction since i was born. this has given me not only the knowledge but the passion to learn more about the industry, and i was over the moon to have been offered a job by masonbryant.
after seven years working in customer service, i've learnt the value of providing excellent service and building strong relationships with clients. my goal for the next few years is to continue developing my career in estate agency, and once confident in my current role, to take the next step in sales progression. the opportunities for growth in this industry are endless, and i’m excited to see where this journey will take me.
in my spare time, i love being surrounded by family, and i’m lucky enough to have a holiday home in pevensey bay where we spend most of our time. in the colder months, you’ll often find me in a gallery, exploring new exhibitions and gathering inspiration for my own artwork.
