Client Reviews
Sandersons first joined Sandersons in 2008 as a Property Manager having previously worked for a corporate estate agent. During her 5 years here she progressed to Senior Property Manager and gained the NFOPP level 3 award in Residential Lettings and Property Panagement. Hazel left the team in 2013 to raise her young family.
Whilst away, Hazel worked part time as an inventory clerk before re-joining the Sandersons Property Management team in February 2018. We are so delighted that Hazel came back to join our team after some time off with her family and brings with her a broadened Lettings knowledge from working as an inventory clerk.
What do I like most about the Sanderson approach?
We are a fun loving team and everyone’s opinion is valued. We are able to offer a service tailored to the individual needs of our customers without the constraints of a corporate environment.
I met my husband in the year 2000, we live near Sittingbourne and have 2 young children who keep me very busy when I am not at work!
In my spare time I help run a local Beaver scout group for 6-8 year olds. I try to be as active as possible and attend a local boot camp. I also love days out with my family as well as “wine and takeaway” evenings with friends.

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.
