I started my career as an Estate Agent in 2011 with Countrywide as a Trainee Negotiator and quickly progressed within the company. In my final few years with the company, I was the Branch Manager of a very successful branch that was one of only two offices in the region making profit in both sales and lettings.

I had a fantastic experience with Athertons Estate Agents. They did a great job selling my property in Muscliff. From the initial valuation through to agreeing the sale, the whole team was professional, friendly, and kept me informed every step of the way.
Their communication was excellent, they worked hard to achieve a great result, and the property sold quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athertons Estate Agents to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making the process so smooth and stress-free!

I just bought my very first house with Owen, he answered every email and every phone call with patience and kindness. Exceptional service and I would suggest his service to everyone. Thanks Owen!!! Edit- I also want to add that I have contacted Owen after the sale to ask for help on a few items and still get a fantastic service! Would Definitely recommend Owen!

Athertons sold our property recently.
We sold extremely quickly and the whole process went so smoothly.
Moving house is extremely stressful but both Owen and Sam were there every step of the way with updates and answered any questions we had.
We can't recommend Athertons enough as they were professional, polite and knowledgeable.

Owen from Athertons assisted with our house purchase, from the very beginning, Owen and the team was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. After 15 months of looking and starting processes and having them fall through, it was through Owen and his team that we finally got our keys yesterday and the whole process took 7 weeks!!
They were always responsive, friendly, and willing to help with any questions or updates, which made a very big difference during what can sometimes be a stressful experience. Their communication was excellent, and they kept everything moving smoothly between all parties involved.
It was clear that they genuinely cared about making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible, and their dedication and professionalism really stood out.
Im very grateful for all the support and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. An excellent experience and very well deserving of a 5-star review.
Thank you Owen and team Athertons!

Owen was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We were able to find our dream forever home off-market thanks to the brilliant communication between the Poole Athertons (Chris) selling our property and Owen, who knew of a property that perfectly matched the specifications we were looking for. The whole process of finding the right home felt seamless, and it truly felt meant to be!
Owen was always available whenever I called and incredibly supportive with any questions I had along the way. I would highly recommend using Athertons for all of your property needs - they are truly amazing. Thank you, Owen.

We used Athertons estate agents after we an unsuccessful 6 month period with a previous agent. Athertons got our property listed very quickly with high quality photos and the result was a sale within 3 weeks. During the selling process, Sam was very active in helping us with queries or chasing queries and providing updates when we requested. We really appreciated the effort he put into this over the 6 month 4 way chain we were in.

I originally came across Athertons when I saw a property on Rightmove that they were selling. Sam showed me around the property which turned out to be unsuitable for me. However, Sam came across as professional and knowledge. At that stage my property had been on the market for over three months with one of the big local agencies who got me lots of viewings but no offers. I therefore terminated the contract with them.
Following the termination I decided to engage Athertons to manage my sale. Sam came with his photographer. They produced a more professional set of images and a video Within a few weeks of engaging Athertons they had secured a sale at a price very close to my asking price.
The ongoing sales process was managed by Owen. He regularly contacted me to provide updates, he was great at chasing the solicitors on both sides.
I thoroughly recommend Athertons.

I have never experienced such an amazing service from an estate agent ever. Owen was absolutely fantastic, he always went the extra mile for us and assisted us with purchasing our home. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the communication was incredible. Owen is a credit to Athertons and the industry!

Sam and the Athertons team were brilliant with our house sale. Really calm, composed and organised throughout the process. Brilliant communicators who kept us up to date and also chased up the solicitors when needed. We felt we were in good hands, especially during the stressful few weeks leading up to Exchange and Completion. A lovely local business, and a far more personal service to the pink-tie-corporate players.
Would thoroughly recommend.

A big thank you to Nikita and Owen for all their hard work in securing me an excellent investment property. They worked tirelessly to negotiate a fair deal for both parties and responded to all queries immediately. Very easy people to do business with and highly efficient with a strong local presence / knowledge.

This is the second time I have used Athertons Estate agents in the past 8 years and again they didn't disappoint, the service they provide feels personal and professional and nothing is too much trouble. From the first meeting there were no time pressures and everything was done at my pace with minimal disruption. Sam Garlick the agent that was dealing with our house was amazingly supportive of every little bump in the road and corner we turned and he was always available at the end of the phone or I just had to drop him a email and it was done. Very professional and family friendly , I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a hassle free sale that offers support every step of the way . Thankyou Athertons Estate agents.

We decided to sell our house through Athertons as we had previously purchased the house through them. Sam and the team provided a first class service, communication through the whole process was second to none, for us aswel as our buyer, and nothing was too much trouble.I would have no hesitation recommending Athertons for anyone considering buying or selling a property

I cannot express how happy and thankful I am with Sam and Nikita helping my mum sell her property she had lived in for the last 25 years.
Obviously from my mum living in her family home for such a long time, to anyone, of course it would be an emotional rollercoaster however, the experience from Athertons had made it the best possible journey for her.
For anyone who is selling due to personal or emotional circumstances then I highly recommend the best service from Athertons. My mum has now settled down in her nice new home but would not be possible without Sam and Nikita.

We recently purchased a house through Sam and his team at Athertons and they were great. The team were always at the end of the phone if needed and were happy to help with any queries. After a few bad experiences with other estate agents, the team were a breath of fresh air. We would recommend them to others and would be happy to sell our properties with them in the future.
