Marc Schneiderman was 15 when he began as an office junior for a firm of estate agents in the West End. Some years later he joined a small boutique firm handling residential sales in London where he spent six successful years.

Since its doors first opened, Arlington Residential has transacted on several billion pounds worth of prime property.
