MacLellan started his own estate agency business in Lanarkshire in 1982 which he sold in 1998 to General Accident Property Services, the precursor to Your Move.
Since then he has occupied several senior management positions throughout the changes from General Accident to Your Move including sales director and statutory director before its management buyout by Aviva in 2004.
Alan Penman, spokesman for Walker Fraser Steele, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Donald MacLellan as chairman of Walker Fraser Steele. Donald has exceptional knowledge of the Scottish housing market and a stellar reputation having run his own estate agency business and worked in several senior directorship roles.
“His deep-rooted understanding of the Scottish property market will be invaluable as we continue to grow the Walker-Fraser Steele brand in Scotland – with the help of more resources from e.surv.”
Walker Fraser Steele announced its collaboration with e.surv in June with 18 e.surv surveyors operating under the Walker Fraser Steele brand in Scotland expanding Walker Fraser Steele’s coverage across the market.
