Services
Sell Your Home Our approach to selling your property is designed to provide clear guidance from valuation through to completion. We assess your home accurately, arrange professional photography, videography, floor plans and virtual tours where applicable, then promote it across leading property platforms and our wider network. We remain available throughout, providing feedback and assistance with negotiations and legal matters.
Landlord Services Landlords can rely on our Lettings team for knowledgeable guidance and a range of services throughout the rental journey. We begin by establishing the appropriate rental value before professionally presenting and promoting the property. Depending on the chosen service, we can then assist with tenant sourcing, rent collection, tenancy administration, compliance requirements and ongoing property management.

Owner
Commencing my journey in the realm of Estate Agency back in 2002, I have dedicated more than two decades to serving the Poole area. My enthusiasm and genuine affection for this profession drive me as I comprehend the magnitude of relocating, which stands as one of the most significant financial decisions for any client.

With a profound understanding of all aspects related to properties, I take immense pride in delivering exceptional customer service to each of my clients. My commitment to being available around the clock has earned me a reputation for having a 24/7 mentality, and I make sure to be reachable on my mobile whenever required.

Beyond the professional sphere, my personal life finds me living locally with my wife, two children, and a beloved cocker spaniel named Milo

Chris has been fantastic through out the process of purchasing our new home. From meeting him at our first viewing he was friendly and professional, extremely knowledgable and could answer any of our questions straight away. When we submitted an offer on the property via email at closing time he contacted the sellers and got back to us straight away albeit out of office hours. He then proceeded to do more than his job like finding out details of our chain that our agent should have known (but didn't) to keep us and the sellers up to date with the process. Any extra questions i have had he has been contactable straight away or has returned my call within the hour. I cant thank Chris enough for making this as stress free as possible and we will definitely contact Atherton's in the future if we move again. Thank you Chris for going above and beyond for us!

Chris was great throughout the process. The video and images taken of the property were to a high standard which I felt helped create traction and further viewings on the property. Chris was always quick to feedback on how a viewing went and I always felt that he cared for the outcome for me as a client.

The portal used for the selling process was slick and easy to use and allowed me to keep up to date with how everything was going.

I couldn't recommend Chris/Athertons enough and, had I not moved out the area, would definitely use them for any future property sales!

If you want an estate agent who is efficient and trustworthy.. yes trustworthy then look no further than Chris Rowley and his team. Chris had provided his exceptional skill with marketing my property. The video he produced made me think Id buy that. He has never pushed me or become annoyed with me every time I changed my mind on a property we were meant to buy. Key Drummond is an independent estate agent so no pushy salespeople looking for their commissions. This company is caring and exceeds every other company I have ever gone with.

Chris and his team are fantastic people.

From the very beginning they were very helpful.
As we were living in London we couldnt come to Poole weekdays and when we requested
to view the property even on Sundays It was not a problem for them.

They were more than happy to be there for us and they were more than happy to show us the property few more times.

They were very patient and understandable during the process which made us feel calm and forget how stressful is the process to purchase a property.

Overall is a very good estate agency and I definitely recommend them!

Thank you very much Chris to you, your amazing service and to your exceptional team!
