I cannot fault Owen and his team, they were professional, sensitive as the transaction was an emotional one for our family, gave good advice - their local market knowledge was faultless, trustworthy, diligent and above all just genuinely nice humans to deal with. We had every faith in them and cannot fault their service, I would highly recommend them and wish them every success

Well done to all at Athertons. We have sold during a depressed market. Despite this and during the prolonged process the team remained honest and kept us fully informed. We would definitely recommend them for your future sale and would use them again ourselves.

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 hadnt moved for 37 years, so we were very nervous selling our property.
Owen was absolutely brilliant dealing with our sale and purchase, constant communication updates, always available when needed. Owen is a great asset to Athertons, and Sam also if Owen wasnt available.

In a slow selling market, Chris and his team got what we needed which was a quick result with the right buyer. Kept in regular contact throughout and always on the end of a line if needed. Would happily recommend.

Amazing service from the company.
We used Athertons Estate during the process of buying our first house.
Owen, who take care of our case was outstanding. During whole process he kept us informed, constantly communicated with our solicitors as well as sellers solicitors and ensured that the whole process which looked quite stressful at the beginning went quick and smooth.
I want to use the opportunity to once again say THANK YOU to Owen, for such a professional approach and help he provided.

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.

Athertons were great with the sale of our property, in particular Sam and Owen. Very good communication, polite, easy to contact, even out of hours; and approachable. Queries were answered quickly. Would definitely recommend over the larger estate agents in the area. Thank you.

I have now both purchased and sold the same property through Athertons - and there is a reason for that - truly great service. I received the full asking price within three days of placing my home on the market, courtesy of Owen Fowler's expertise, and I was kept informed of progress throughout what became quite a lengthy process. I am most grateful for the service and attention I received and and I recommend Athertons in general and Owen in particular without reservation.

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.

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 recently bought our house with Athertons. The purchase had a couple of hurdles but Sam was very helpful in getting things to come together whilst being very fair and considerate to all parties involved. He was always very responsive and kept on top of the transaction till the very end and afterwards. I would recommend Athertons to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home with the help of a very diligent and committed Estate Agent . Thanks Sam

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.
