Services
Our approach to selling your home begins with an honest valuation based on genuine local sales. Once the price is agreed, we create compelling property presentation and market your home through our website, Rightmove, Zoopla, social media and established contacts. We provide regular viewing feedback, manage negotiations and liaise with solicitors, surveyors and buyers through to completion. 
We help landlords manage their rental properties with professional assistance from valuation through to move-in. After agreeing the rental value, we arrange appropriate photography, videography, floorplans and virtual tours before promoting the property across our website, major property portals, database and social media. Offers, referencing, deposits and tenancy documentation are then handled carefully.

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.

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.

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 had an excellent experience with Athertons. The service was fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. I was kept well-informed at every stage of the process, and everything was handled with care and attention to detail. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend Athertons to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive estate agent.
Thank you for all your help!

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 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 his team were amazing with dealing with our property sale. Nothing was too much for them. Sam chased solicitors for us , which helped speed up the process, and went above and beyond to assist us through the whole process. I cannot fault these guys at all, and highly recommend this professional team. Thanks Sam and team!

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!

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

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.
