Client Reviews
Antony joined Sandersons in 2014 and is our Ashford & Folkestone Branch Manager. After attending Grammar School and achieving 3 A-Levels, Antony went into further education at Nottingham Trent University where he gained a 2:1 (BSC Hons) degree is Sports Science and Management. He joined the property industry back in 2006 where he worked his way up from a Negotiator to a Branch Manager within 4 years making a name for himself via two Corporate Estate Agency competitors along the way. He has been in this role ever since and is and is also NAEA qualified. Antony is involved in sales and lettings property valuations, negotiating offers, sales progression as well as the other day to day tasks of keeping the office running smoothly. He brings huge enthusiasm and energy to the role and believes passionately in working in association with clients to deliver a top end service. His commitment to this end is evident in his dealings with vendors and landlords alike. Question re Sandersons approach - Antony is extremely passionate about providing excellent customer service in addition to achieving top results for his clients and achieves this by building relationships based solely on trust. An example of this is one of our major Unique Selling Points in the fact we do not tie our clients into any fixed term contract unlike the majority of other Estate Agents.
Why are Sandersons different?
At Sandersons, we have an extremely pro-active approach to business which helps us to achieve top results for our clients. We achieve this by maintaining sensible stock levels which we regularly ring and email out to our entire database of registered applicants in addition to regularly rotating our office windows with fresh property stock, updating our property images and particulars online as well as our Featured Property Listings on the portals.
Antony has worked in Ashford for the majority of his 14 years in the industry but has also worked in Folkestone, Dover and Canterbury so has a good knowledge of the local market and surrounding towns. When away from the office, Antony has his hands full with his 3 year old son, Chester. Apart from being very busy with this, he has always been a keen sportsman and enjoys both playing and watching his main passion, football.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Don’t waste money on a nice car, put it into savings or property!!
Jess was head hunted by Sandersons in 2008. She was already working in the industry and we had been hugely impressed with her obvious flair for top-level negotiation. Her talent and enthusiasm quickly saw her progress into management. She has managed an expanding team and has received the highest praise from our many satisfied landlords and vendors alike. We are now really excited to have Jess settling into her new role as Lettings Area Manager.

I live in Sandwich with my beautiful daughter Bella. We are surrounded by our family and friends which is handy considering the amount of time we spend with them! I love to ‘get away’ and always make sure I have a holiday to look forward to being it in this country or abroad. When I’m not being ‘Mummy’ or at work I tend to head to the nearest spa (other Mum’s with toddlers will get this) to unwind! Life is totally bonkers, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
What advice would I give my younger self?
Do all the crazy stuff. Take the risks. They’re totally worth it!

Nancy joined the Canterbury Lettings team in 2014 as a lettings negotiator starting her career in the industry. Over the years she has developed her experience and gained the NFOPP level 3 award in Residential Lettings and Property Management. Nancy is extremely organised and knowledgeable on the Lettings process and is ideally positioned to provide support throughout the progression of a new let. We understand that the management of a tenancy at the start is critical for ensuring legal documentation is completed in full and support is provided with an ongoing long term relationship in mind.
What do you like most about Sandersons’ approach?
Having worked for corporate companies previously I appreciate Sandersons laid back but fair approach.
I live in Ashford with my partner and enjoy spending time with my family and experimenting with food from different cultures in my spare time.
What is your advice to your younger self?
Spend less time worrying
Jackie joined Sandersons in August 2016 as a Sales Negotiator. She has worked in sales and customer care for 30 years for numerous corporate and independent companies. Jackie's daily role at Sandersons includes multiple duties. The priority is answering incoming calls, registering new applicants, answering enquiries, arranging viewing and valuation appointments. It’s imperative to gain good rapport and communication with vendors and applicants to achieve the right sale. A great advantage is being able to meet with our clients on property viewing appointments to understand their lifestyle and requirements.
Why are Sandersons different?
I love the passion for legendary customer care. This is always No.1 priority and something I also strongly believe is the strength of a leading business success. We don’t work from a script or targets (like other agents) - Sandersons work from the heart. We work with transparency, honesty and as a company you can trust.
I have lived in Ashford all my life (50 years!!) from the sleepy farming town that has expanded to the thriving town it is today. As someone that loves their food, I love to dine out and enjoy social evenings with my Sandersons’s colleagues as we are one big happy family. I’m a member at my local gym, but don’t visit as much as I should. My passion is gardening in all seasons and DIY around the home (there is always something that can be improved). I have two grown up children and two grandchildren who also live in Ashford. As I used to be a makeup artist, I have given much of my spare time to The Pilgrims Hospice giving facials and makeovers to clients. Such a great reward to help people feel good about themselves.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Don’t fear life’s challenges ahead, embrace and enjoy the journey.
Matt graduated from Canterbury Christchurch University in 2013 with a degree in Photography. He also holds an Adobe Certified Associate qualification for the use of Photoshop. Since Matt began photographing properties in 2014, he has photographed a wide range of homes for estate agents and property developers. He is a qualified domestic energy assessor and drone operator, he also produces video tours and designs marketing material. What do you like most about Sandersons’ approach? It is refreshing to work for an agent that has such a straight-forward approach and to work with colleagues that are all working as part of a team.

My personal photographic work has been selected for a number of competitions, it was most notably featured in the Royal Photographic Society 'International Print Competition', as part of it was included in a touring UK exhibition. I also held a solo exhibition in Broadstairs, Kent. Aside from undertaking my own photography, I enjoy snowboarding and skateboarding. I also have a passion for travelling, in 2016 I went on a trip around the world. In my spare time I go snowboarding at the local dry ski slope, go skateboarding or spend time with my girlfriend. What advice would you give to your younger self? Do what you enjoy because life is short.
