Client Reviews
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 really excited that Jess has returned to work after taking maternity leave with her daughter to join the team 3 days a week.

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!
Jen joined Sandersons as a negotiator in our Canterbury office in 2007. After gaining valuable experience within the sales team she was promoted to the Property Management department based in Maidstone in 2009. She headed up the team that managed the Canterbury portfolio and the Corporate Landlord team before moving back to Canterbury as the Assistant Lettings Manager. Jen is now Lettings Manager for our Canterbury branch. Jen has also studied for and gained the NFOPP level 3 award in Residential Lettings and Property Management.
Jen is currently on Maternity leave and working one day a week until she returns in January 2020 - we look forward to welcoming her back to the team :-)
What do you like most about Sandersons’ approach?
I love that Sandersons offers a very personable service which can be adjusted depending on individual clients needs. This has enabled me on a personal level to build strong working relationships over the years

I grew up in the Canterbury area and I currently live with my partner in Chartham which is close to family and friends so I get to enjoy spending quality time with them. I am a keen traveller and have been lucky enough to explore some beautiful countries with my latest adventures including Bali, Hong Kong, South Africa and parts of South East Asia.
I enjoy being active and attend pilates, bootcamp and bodypump classes and I am trying to learn to snowboard.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
To be more confident in myself and to trust my instincts.
Lettie first joined Sandersons in 2007 as a junior lettings negotiator and was a member of the Canterbury team for six years. She left the company in May 2013 to gain more experience and work in the sales industry for three years. She feels this helped her develop a greater knowledge and confidence in both lettings and sales. We are delighted that Lettie re-joined the Canterbury team in 2016 as a negotiator and brings her experience in her new role as Assistant Lettings Manager. She has also re-visited her passion for art and creativity by supporting our marketing team as a photographer.
What do you like most about Sandersons' approach?
Having experienced the work ethic and culture in other Estate Agencies I can confidently say that Sandersons approach to all aspects of lettings and sales is different as they genuinely care about the customer and the experience that they receive at every stage of the process.
I live in Faversham and have worked in Canterbury for the last twelve years. I live with my long term partner who I met at secondary school. After 16 years together we have just tied the knot and had the most beautiful wedding in Skiathos. I enjoy exercise and cooking and have recently taken up photography which has revived the creative side of my personality. I took GCSE and A level art and this has reminded me of the passion I have for all things creative. I also enjoy holidays in hot sunny climates and hope to travel more in the future as I still have much of the world to see.
What advice would you give your younger self?
If I could give my younger self some advice it would be to have a bit more belief in myself and not to worry so much about the little things.

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
Michelle has worked as an Accounts / Office Administrator within the Lettings Industry for 12 years and joined Iconn a year ago to oversee both the client and management accounts as well as the general day to day running of the office. iConn merged with Sandersons in March 2018 so we are really excited to have someone with Michelle's experience and attention to detail as part of the team.
What do you like about Sandersons Approach?
I like the Sandersons / Iconn approach as together we are a team that works hard, plays hard but continuously strives to the best we can be, providing a first class service to all our clients, with a smile!

I moved from London to Herne Bay 12 years ago and currently live on a farm with my Partner and youngest Son. I have 4 children and 2 grandchildren. I love family time! Get togethers with my children and grandchildren, eating, drinking, laughing and generally talking rubbish. At the weekends I like to go for walks along the beach or to the woods with my Partner and 2 dogs, Mollie the Pomski and Daisy the Terrier. I enjoy holidays abroad. Anywhere hot! My ideal holiday consists of lying in the sun being waited on, simple, but loving life!
What advice would you give your younger self?
Always be true to yourself.

Robin joined Sandersons iConn in January 2018 as a lettings negotiator. He has excellent IT and administrative experience so we are really happy to have this level of skill in the team to continue to ensure we deliver a consistently exceptional service to our customers. He worked as a network engineer in London working to put the WiFi networks on trains (virgin trains out of Euston/Heathrow express) for a company called Nomad Digital Ltd. Just before joining Sandersons iConn, he spent 2 years in retail at Homebase/Currys working at the front end as well as in the warehouse.
Robsin is also in the process of completing a distance learning engineering qualification in HNC General Engineering.
What do you like most about Sandersons’ iConn approach?
The supportive and friendly office atmosphere makes it easy to focus on providing the best customer experience I can.

Apart from a brief move to London, I have lived in Canterbury my whole life. Two years ago I started training Kickboxing at a local club and this year I started competing in local competitions which has been a painful but enjoyable experience.
Last year I completed the PARAS'10 and COMMANDO charity runs which help raise funds for their respective regiments and I also completed a charity log run for Who Dares Cares.
I recently learnt to ski and intend to spend as much time in the mountains as I can in the near future!
What advice would you give to your younger self?
It's better to fail at something then never try at all
Kay joined Sandersons in early 2014 as a sales and lettings administrator, having been in the industry for 9 years. Whilst she had undertaken various roles within a corporate setting, from negotiator to valuer, the rapid and successful expansion of sales within the Canterbury branch created a need for a dedicated sales progressor. Communicating with a wide array of clientèle during every transaction, her aim is to make sure that exchange of contracts is obtained swiftly, whilst keeping vendors and purchasers up to date throughout. She also provides valuable administrative support for our Lettings team.
Why are Sandersons different? Having spent a great deal of time working for a national estate agency, I have found Sandersons to be a breath of fresh air. Management encourage ideas to be put forward to help improve the business from a customers viewpoint, and we really do try to be different in our approach. A key factor of this is, not tying in any of our vendors to a fixed term agency agreement and letting our hard work and results do the talking - something that is missing from the corporate sector where clients can be treated as cash cows.

I live in Faversham having spent most of my childhood growing up on the North Kent Downs. After 10 years together I finally walked up the aisle with my husband whom I have known since early childhood. Fast-forward 7 years and I now have two young boys which keep me busy and a mad cocker spaniel called Baxter. In my 'spare time' I love to escape as a family to the continent and enjoy the local cuisine and explore the history behind the country. One of my more memorable trips was to Italy, encompassing; Venice, Florence, Rome and Pompeii - that was an anniversary present to remember!
What would I tell my younger self?
Don't sweat the small stuff!
Vicky joined the Sandersons team in June 2018 as Lettings Administrator.
For the past 16 years she has worked in the Estate Agency industry and has gained valuable experience in residential lettings and commercial agency within Canterbury.
At Sandersons she carries out general administration for new lets that have been agreed. She also liaises with landlords and tenants in respect of renewing their tenancies, and prepares the relevant documents.
What do you like most about Sandersons' approach?
Every client is different, we treat each client as an individual, which enables us to meet their needs and therefore provide an excellent service.
Vicky grew up in Canterbury and moved to Chartham with her fiancé 11 years ago. They have two young children together.
She loves spending time with her family. She often takes the children to the beach, goes swimming and likes to go for bike rides.
She enjoys beach holidays and often goes to Spain for the warmer weather. She has also recently been to Centre Parcs, which was a busy break but also lots of fun!
What advice would you give your younger self?
Make the most of every opportunity
I started working for Sandersons on Monday the 28th October 2019 and am a Lettings Negotiator. I previously worked as a production assistant at a company which sold Bee equipment. I was educated at Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys for GCSE as well as A-level where I achieved high grades in Business, Economics and History. My current role is a Lettings Negotiator which involves getting in contact with potential clients and landlords as well as arranging and going to viewings.
What do you like about Sandersons approach?
The thing I like most about Sandersons’ approach is that it’s team based with a friendly the environment where everyone works together in order to the job done.
I originally grew up in Herne Bay just a short drive from Canterbury and so throughout my childhood treated Canterbury as my city for weekend escapes. This connection only grew as I matured into adulthood and secondary education where I spent the 7 years going to and from Canterbury daily. I have a strong connection to family and am very grateful for all the support my parents and sister provided me throughout my life. I have numerous hobbies and interests ranging from extreme sports like Rock Climbing and Scuba Diving to relaxed activities such as reading and writing my own literature. In my spare time I like to grow as a person by reading and learning new skills with my parents or independently such as investing or learning to cook.
What advice would I give to my younger self?
Some things in life require a lot of patience, focus on your present in order to achieve your future.
Karen joined Sandersons in October 2018 as Property Management Administrator and has progressed to Property Management Coordinator, managing a portfolio of professional lets in the Canterbury area. Karen comes with a wealth of administration & customer care knowledge gained throughout her career with organisations like KCC and the NHS.
How are Sandersons different?
I like the personal touch that we give clients & love the fact that staff are treated as individuals.
I have lived in Maidstone for most of my life. I have two grown up sons and one gorgeous grandson. I love to spend time with family and friends, but particularly enjoy taking walks with Paul, my husband and our two dogs, Poppy & Lottie. I also have two cats, Marlie & Smokey who definitely rule the roost.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Don't stress over the small stuff, life is too short.
