A TikTok famous estate agent who works with south east London properties and clients remembers the days of delivering the News Shopper paper around Eltham as a child.

Tanya Baker, 29, grew up in Eltham and started working in Blackheath Village as an estate agent in 2016 before she went independent and set up her own estate agency under Keller Williams around 18 months ago.

And, Tanya has gone from delivering the News Shopper to being in it – as she delivered papers in Eltham for around four years.

Tanya told the News Shopper: “From 12-years-old until around 16 when I could get my first proper job - I delivered the papers to my road in Eltham.

“My friend had the next road so we used to help each other deliver the papers.

“I can’t believe I was delivering this paper as a teen now you’ve written a story about me.”

Her mum even kept the welcome pack she was given when she first started delivering the papers.

Tanya is now huge on TikTok and uses the platform to promote various local properties on the platform, with her most popular TikTok of a stunning five storey town house in SE14 reaching a huge 1.4 million views and 267,000 likes.

The videos are filmed in a way that makes you feel like you are being shown around the property by a friend and create a real taste of the atmosphere in the homes.

Tanya added: “I want to make the content warm and welcoming - and less stiff because the industry is quite stiff, and old fashioned.

“I hope to breathe a bit of fresh air into the industry and make it a bit more interesting for people when they're looking.

“I tried to make sure that the music will work with the flow of the home and suit it’s character.”

Tanya’s great grandfather owned his own estate agency in Blackheath and so she feels that she is continuing on her legacy by going into this area of work.

She also promotes the history of the area by comparing old photographs with the current day – including Greenwich Park or the old fire station in Blackheath Village.
