The person behind the business

Hello, I'm Duncan Ure

Director at Compass Estates, covering property sales across Dumfries & Galloway and building a team of experienced, highly skilled estate agents across Scotland.

My background

I'm Duncan Ure, one of three Directors at Compass Estates, and I live in Castle Douglas with my family. I've spent my career in property across Scotland, auction sales, investment portfolios, high street branch management, and building my own business.

Sellers in Dumfries & Galloway deserve better than the standard most local agents offer. Proper marketing, honest valuations, someone who picks up the phone. That should not be exceptional. It should be the baseline.

Compass Estates operates across Scotland. When you instruct me, you deal with me personally from first call to completion.

How I work

Every enquiry gets a response within one hour during office hours. Every valuation is in person. Every instruction I take, I see through personally from the initial conversation to completion day.

I'm available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Saturday mornings. Viewings and valuations can be arranged for evenings and Sundays by prior arrangement.
