Meet the owner

Sam Garlick

Director – Franchisor.

 

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.

I was delighted to be approached to take over Athertons Estate & Letting Agents and to carry on its outstanding reputation. Taking over an agency that has been successfully serving Winton and the surrounding areas since 1985, is a great honour. I am very lucky to have a job that I genuinely love!

Inheriting a house is a significant event, especially when the house has been a part of the family for over 60 years.

The journey began with the search for the right estate agent. We met a few, but among them, Chris from Athertons stood out. His approach made us feel more comfortable and at ease compared to the others. This led us to choose Athertons for the sale of our beloved family home.

Chris's guidance was invaluable; he helped us focus on the essentials and the nice-to-haves, which made the decision-making process much clearer.

His support never wavered, regardless of the numerous hurdles we faced, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. If we had another house to sell, we would undoubtedly use Chris's services again.

This journey of selling our family home has been filled with ups and downs, but with the steadfast support of Chris, we navigated through it.

I cannot recommend Athertons enough! As someone with high expectations, I know I can be a demanding client – I like to be kept informed regularly (probably more often than most), expect things to be handled swiftly and efficiently, and value clear, accurate communication. Athertons not only met these expectations but consistently went above and beyond.

The house sold quickly, and we had an incredible number of viewings – all it takes is one! Athertons' use of technology, from their excellent photographer to their apps and WhatsApp communication, made the entire process seamless and efficient. The two-point contact approach ensured we always had someone available to speak to, which really helped keep everything on track.

I will 1000% use Athertons again in the future and will wholeheartedly recommend them to friends and family. They made what can often be a stressful experience feel manageable and, at times, even enjoyable. Thank you for everything!

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 knowledgeable.

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

Chris is simply the best - there is no other agent in Poole (or probably the world) that gives more, cares more and goes above and beyond more.

As a vendor, Chris answered all my relentless questions and treated my property like it was the only property on his books. He is faultless, honest, constructive and will get you the buyer you need through consistency.

There are no words to thank him enough for his efforts with our sale

I recently brought and sold with Athertons and I can’t fault Chris’ attention to detail. Nothing is too much for him and he was always at the end of the phone no matter what time of day it was or if it was a Sunday. To say he cares is an understatement.

I am so glad we decided to go with Chris and rest assured, I won’t go to anyone else from now on.

I can't recommend Athertons highly enough. The sale of my property has just completed.

Owen and Sam were brilliant. The sale of my listed property was certainly not an easy one and they 'held my hand' the whole way through, always at the end of the phone and constantly in touch with updates.

I'm convinced that if it wasn't for them, the sale may have fallen through.

They definitely provide the personal service that you get from a small independent agent.

I both sold my house and found a new property with them. Chris has been so helpful, proactive with progress updates and always available to help answer any questions I had. The online tool is great too! Makes viewings and sale progress so much easier to track. Would recommend!

Chris and the team provided an exceptional service when selling my property in Hamworthy. A buyer was found very quickly, and Chris assisted with the liaison between the buyer and me often going above and beyond to ensure that the sale completed. I thank the whole team for all their help and support.

We recently sold a property through Chris. They were more than helpful from beginning to end , making the sensitive selling of my parents’ home after they passed away. It was stress free, updated on progress all the way through . I honestly can't recommend them enough

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.

Sam and the team at Athertons were excellent in assisting us with our recent property move. Sam was on available day and night to support with anything we needed and made the whole process run as smoothly as it could. We would recommend Athertons to anyone and would use them again without any doubts.

Chris has been fantastic throughout the process of purchasing our new home.

From meeting him at our first viewing he was friendly and professional, extremely knowledgeable 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 can't 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!

We used Athertons to sell our late parents' bungalow in Oakdale.

Chris was professional and thorough from the start to completion. He was proactive in finding potential purchasers and kept us both informed, answering any questions promptly and liaising with solicitors to keep the chain moving.

He set up a what’s appn group and kept us updated and informed of progress which was an effective communication channel for us and we really appreciated it.

Outstanding service and would have no hesitation in recommending Athertons estate agents. 5-star service provided all the way.
