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.

When away from the office, Antony has his hands full with his 9 month old baby boy, 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.

Why are Sandersons different?
No one is tied in to us. If we don't give you the service you deserve, you are free to walk away. Being independent we are able to concentrate on our clients needs rather than what just what benefits us.
I moved from Tunbridge Wells to Ashford in 2001 and live with my husband and two daughters. We like to travel to the edges of Ashford to enjoy the culinary delights and atmosphere of the village pubs. My passion is weight lifting so I spend most of my spare time in the gym. I also sing with Rock Choir, often raising money for small charities at local gigs but the big gig will be at Disneyland Paris this summer!

What do I like most about Sandersons’ approach?
Sandersons are the only agent that I have worked for that put customer service at the top of their priority list; rather than a constant drive to increase stock levels. They do not tie their clients into long contracts, so they are free to walk away if they are not 100% satisfied.
I moved to Ashford when I was 4 and have lived here ever since, I live in Aldington with my husband and our Beagle. In my spare time I enjoy holidays, especially walking holidays so we can take the dog along too. I am a big foodie and love cooking and eating so the rest of my time is spent at the gym or running in the beautiful countryside.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Work less and travel more. Money cannot buy health or happiness.
