Marketing, social media and sales progression
Client Reviews
Charlotte progressed from a career in banking to running her own business as an Independent Mortgage Broker. After taking a career break to have a family, she started working for Sandersons in 2015 and was taken on board to assist in selling a new build site in Ashford. Sandersons were so delighted with the energy & attention to detail she brings that she continued to work for us as Ashford's Sales Progressor. Since joining us we have seen Charlotte push her personal development and we are delighted to now have her in the new role of Development Manager. Heading up the Development Team and managing our marketing, social media and sales progression.
How are Sandersons different?
Sandersons has made me feel very welcome. Having worked for corporate companies in the past, Sandersons has really highlighted the advantages of working for an independent company. I see this with the way they treat their staff and their clients.
I moved to Ashford with my family when I was very small and have lived here since. I attended the local Grammar School which gave me a good head start into shaping the rest of my life. In my spare time I enjoy spending time and holidaying with my family and friends. I sing in a choir which has given me some amazing opportunities like recording at Abbey Road Studios and singing on stage at Disneyland Paris.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Not to pass up any opportunity. I would rather give something a go and then regret it over regretting not doing something in the first place.
Cherie joined Sandersons in 2019 as a Sales and Lettings Negotiator and has over 14 years industry experience in the Ashford area. Cherie attended the local Grammar School and studied at the University of Kent where she achieved a 2:1 (BSC Hons) in Psychology; she has since completed her NFOPP exams making her NAEA qualified. Cherie has been involved in all aspects of property sales, negotiating offers and progressing sales through to completion. Cherie now joins our exciting new Development Team, focusing on marketing and social media all the way through to progressing a sale to exchange and completion.
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.
Linda started her career working in various management, training and administration roles before moving into the mortgage industry where she gained valuable experience within the housing market working for a local independent mortgage advisor in sales progression and insurances. From there, she moved across to work as a Personal Assistant to the Regional Director for a government housing agency before joining Sandersons in 2011 to help grow the Ashford branch. Linda has been a major part of very exciting times for the Ashford branch. Growing from a small office with just 2 people to now with a team of 8 and a branch that is a highly competitive leader within the Sandersons group and local area. This includes putting together the property brochures, marketing and day to day running of the office itself. Linda returned from Maternity Leave in January 2020 to support our Land & New Homes team. We now see Linda joining our exciting new Development Team, focusing on marketing and social media all the way through to progressing a sale to exchange and completion.
Why are Sandersons different?
I like how flexible we are to each individual or property needs – no two properties or people are the same and nor are we. Not tying people into a contract proves how confident we are about how we perform and how passionate we are about what we do.

Having lived in Folkestone from a young age and worked in the Ashford area for the last 13 years, Linda has seen many changes to the industry and how it’s affected the local towns and surrounding villages. Both Folkestone and Ashford have lots of exciting opportunities happening at the moment. Folkestone has had a massive injection of life with the Harbour Arm, seafront and other developments being built and old buildings being renovated and brought back to life as well as lots of independent restaurants, bars and boutique hotels making a statement on the town. Ashford too has lots of new developments being built as well as the new cinema complex being built on Elwick Road in the town centre which will help bring back lots of trade to the town centre. Linda doesn’t really have “spare time”. She has quite an active social life and quite often can be found in London’s West End or watching bands. When she’s not doing this, generally you will find her spending time training her puppy or singing with her local Rock Choir when she’s not camping at a VW festival or relaxing on a beach somewhere hot or being a tourist somewhere! In March 2018, Linda enjoyed taking part in a charity walk for Pilgrims Hospice with her dog Milo and Mum’s cockerpoo Sooty!
What advice would you give your younger self?
SAVE! I was so fortunate to be able to live with my parents for a long time – so I really wish I could have saved more money than I did! I could’ve had multiple properties by now!

When I do have time to myself I like to go and support my football team, Millwall with my family. I have supported Millwall since I was small and have held a season ticket most of my life.
