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.

Ive been an estate agent in Poole since 2002, starting with Countrywide, and Ive spent more than 20 years helping people move in and around the town. I know how much a move matters: for most people its the biggest financial decision theyll make, so I treat every sale as if it were my own.

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!

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.

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.

Professional, friendly and helpful are just a few words I would use to describe Athertons. Sam and Owen have made our experience, that I anticipated to be very stressful, anything but stressful. After dealing with many estate agents, I would not recommend anyone other than Athertons - their service is second to none. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

We selected Athertons as a local agent and having reviewed other agents they came out highly rated and very competitive on fees. From the point of calling things moved quickly with an initial consultation on the approach that would best suit our property and circumstances. The photographs and presentation were very professional and appeared quickly on Rightmove.

After a few hours we had two viewings and sold the same day having achieved a higher that anticipated offer so extremely happy with the outcome.

The team at Athertons also went above and beyond with vetting, co-ordination up the chain, and answering any questions we had as they cropped up. Recommended and would not hesitate to use again!

I have dealt with Sam & Nikita on multiple occasions, buying a property through them, selling a property through them and shortly, I am intending on renting out a property through them. I have found them to be professional and knowledgeable, keeping me fully updated throughout the process and answering questions whenever I have had them. They're a great team and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, or recommend them to people looking for a good, honest estate agent in the Bournemouth area.

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

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.
