Services
Home Selling Selling a property with us involves a structured process designed to keep everything moving efficiently. We start with a free valuation informed by real local sales, followed by professional photography, videography, floor plans and virtual tours where appropriate. Your property is then widely marketed, while we handle feedback, negotiations and communication with the relevant parties until contracts are exchanged and completion takes place.
Landlord Services Our landlord services support owners of single rental properties and portfolios alike. We can find suitable tenants, manage compliance and care for your property with the same attention we would give our own. Our local knowledge helps provide accurate rental valuations, reduce vacant periods and achieve a smooth, professionally managed letting experience.

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!

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!

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.

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.

The service I received from Sam in selling my late mothers property
was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and he dealt with the setbacks professionally and with great patience with little help from me as I live 125 miles away. It could not have been better and was much appreciated.

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 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.

After recently selling my first house with the help of Sam and his team at Athertons, I honestly could not recommend them enough!

Very professional service from start to finish, ensuring I was kept informed at every step of the transaction. Sam also went above and beyond with answering any queries and providing guidance relating to my purchase through a different agent.

Would not hesitate to recommend Athertons to anyone, and would certainly use their services again in the future!

Thanks again Sam!
