Client Reviews
Julie joined Sandersons as a lettings negotiator in our Maidstone office in 2009 after a background working in media sales. She gained valuable experience within the lettings team, then joined the sales team and progressed into the role of valuations manager for both lettings and sales. She has gained a wealth of knowledge since joining in 2009 and built some incredibly strong working relationships with our clients. In January 2018, we were thrilled to announce Julie as the Branch Manager for Maidstone. What do you like about Sandersons' approach? We don't have problems, we have solutions!

Outside of work I love to spend time with my family and my two grand dogs -Frank and Ernie (our two little Dachshund). I also help out at all the craft fairs in Penshurst Place and the Wealden show for the Barefoot welder, a local Designer and fabricator. I also like to go skiing and dancing when possible. My husband comes from Maidstone and we have lived in the area for around 34 years so my knowledge of the area is pretty good! What advice would you give your younger self? Don't judge a book by its cover

Laura started working for Sandersons in the summer of 2014. She has a huge amount of experience and has now progressed to Senior Negotiator in the Maidstone Branch. Laura has a wealth of knowledge and particularly excels in Lettings. Laura will conduct viewings, find suitable tenants, liaise with Landlords about their requirements, prepare property details for marketing and negotiate the terms of the let.
Laura has been a fantastic asset to the team and is currently keeping busy very on maternity leave with her twins - one of each! We are delighted that she will be returning in November 2019 to support our Block Management team.
What is Sandersons difference?
Sandersons concentrate on the finer details which provides consistency and accuracy, particularly when producing property details.
I live local to Maidstone and have worked in the area since leaving school. When I'm not working I spend my time in the countryside with my 2 dogs (pictured) and my partner Charlie. Recent holiday include city breaks to Budapest, Krakow, Marrakech and Amsterdam and more relaxed ventures to Mauritius and Cape Verde. Socially I enjoy live music, especially in the summer months when I like to attend as many music festivals as possible!
What advice would you give your younger self? Don't ever dye your hair black (it takes years to correct!) and trust your gut instinct more, it's not often wrong!

Why are Sandersons different?
The personal contact we have with our customers, which unfortunately, is not always found in a corporate environment.
I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, where I lived for 15 years. My family moved to Maidstone in 2006. I attended Sutton Valence Secondary School and went on to achieve a BA Hons Degree in Applied Arts at the University of Creative Arts. In my spare time, I take part in events organised by The Guide Dogs for the Blind Charity as this is close to my heart; 2 of my young relatives are beneficiaries of this charity. One of my favourite places in Maidstone is Mote Park, where I enjoy having a leisurely stroll or a jog around the lake.

Keep saving
Alex joined Sandersons in 2013 to work alongside Chris Murphy at our Canterbury Branch. Initially his role was focussed around helping buyers find the right property and negotiating offers to get sales agreed. Alex moved across to our Maidstone team at the beginning of 2019 and now he spends most of his time on market appraisals and working with prospective vendors who are looking to put their property on the market. Alex takes great pride in the work he does and his drive and enthusiasm is often complimented on by customers.
Why are Sandersons different?
I joined the team from a corporate background and like Sandersons method of not tying their customers into a fixed term contract. I believe that this goes a long way to show the confidence Sandersons has in its product and staff by not tying its customers in to a lengthy agreement.
I went to school in Canterbury but now live in Ashford. Outside of work, I regularly train at the gym and visit family and friends. I play lead guitar for a band called The Skatonics; they can be found at various festivals throughout the summer and supported Madness at their concert at the Kent Showground in August 2017. This year, my girlfriend and I are looking forward to a holiday in Singapore as well as a road trip across France. What advice would you give your younger self? Mother is usually right.

Why are Sandersons different?
I really like working for Sandersons as they really do put their clients first and give a first class service.
I live in Loose and have been a Kent girl all my life. I am married and have a 14 year old son. We enjoy boating and getting out in the countryside. My passion is for riding and try and do this when I can.
What advice would you give your younger self?
Enjoy your youth and be more adventurous while you can.
