The Ivybridge Collection is led by Robert and Nicola Holmes Chapman, who are dedicated to providing a higher standard of estate agency for distinctive homes across Norfolk and Suffolk. Their director led model, personal insight, and commitment to excellence shape every client experience and every property journey.
The agency was created for homeowners who value clarity, precision, exceptional marketing, and a level of care rarely found in traditional estate agency. Robert and Nicola built The Ivybridge Collection on a simple belief. Premium homes deserve premium representation.
Robert began his property career in the early 2000s, later moving into senior roles in marketing, finance, and global leadership.
As CEO of an international charity, he learned how to guide people through significant decisions with clarity, confidence, and integrity. These skills now define his work at The Ivybridge Collection.
Robert approaches every valuation and client conversation with strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and a calm, steady presence that high net worth sellers value.
He takes time to understand your plans, your concerns, and the story behind your home, ensuring it is positioned with precision and presented with genuine care.
His leadership shapes the agency’s reputation for trust, excellence, and meticulous attention to detail.
Nicola has lived in Norfolk for more than fifteen years and brings a lived understanding of what makes a home both beautiful and functional.
Her background in creative direction, styling, and managing a large blended family gives her a rare ability to see how a property feels, not just how it looks. She leads the visual preparation of every home, shaping each space with warmth, subtlety, and an instinctive sense of atmosphere.
Clients appreciate her empathy, honesty, and calm support during what can be an emotional time.
Nicola helps sellers feel understood while creating presentations that resonate with buyers on a deeper level.
Her work is central to the Ivybridge approach. It blends artistry, lifestyle insight, and a genuine commitment to helping clients move confidently into their next chapter.
Together, Robert and Nicola bring a depth of personal and professional experience that many sellers find reassuring. They have raised six children between them, navigated demanding careers, rebuilt their lives after hardship, and discovered the importance of creating a calm, stable home in the midst of change. This shapes how they support every client who invites them into their home.
They understand that selling a premium property is rarely just a financial decision. It is often a transition, a moment of letting go, or a step toward something new. Their role is to guide clients through this with integrity, skill, and genuine care.
This partnership of strategy and artistry, precision and sensitivity, is what makes The Ivybridge Collection distinct in the premium property market.
Our approach is built around clarity, care, and precision. Every client receives a tailored plan shaped by their goals, their lifestyle, and the unique strengths of their home. Presentation is handled with the same attention to detail we would want for our own family. You deal directly with us throughout, ensuring consistent communication and a calm, strategic experience from valuation to completion.
If you would like a clear, strategic view of your home’s position in the current market, we invite you to book a private valuation with us. This conversation will help you understand timing, price, and the best route to a successful sale.
