Sam Garlick
Director – Franchisor
I started my career as an Estate Agent in 2011 with Countrywide as a Trainee Negotiator and quickly progressed within the company. In my final few years with the company, I was the Branch Manager of a very successful branch that was one of only two offices in the region making profit in both sales and lettings.
I was delighted to be approached to take over Athertons Estate & Letting Agents and to carry on its outstanding reputation. Taking over an agency that has been successfully serving Winton and the surrounding areas since 1985, is a great honour. I am very lucky to have a job that I genuinely love!
Chris Rowley
Director
Commencing my journey in the realm of Estate Agency back in 2002, I have dedicated more than two decades to serving the Poole area. My enthusiasm and genuine affection for this profession drive me as I comprehend the magnitude of relocating, which stands as one of the most significant financial decisions for any client.
With a profound understanding of all aspects related to properties, I take immense pride in delivering exceptional customer service to each of my clients. My commitment to being available around the clock has earned me a reputation for having a 24/7 mentality, and I make sure to be reachable on my mobile whenever required.
Beyond the professional sphere, my personal life finds me living locally with my wife, two children, and a beloved cocker spaniel named Milo

I both sold my house and found a new property with them. Chris has been so helpful, proactive with progress updates and always available to help answer any questions I had. The online tool is great too! Makes viewings and sale progress so much easier to track. Would recommend!

Chris and the team provided an exceptional service when selling my property in Hamworthy. A buyer was found very quickly, and Chris assisted with the liaison between the buyer and me often going above and beyond to ensure that the sale completed. I thank the whole team for all their help and support.

We recently sold a property through Chris. They were more than helpful from beginning to end , making the sensitive selling of my parents’ home after they passed away. It was stress free, updated on progress all the way through . I honestly can't recommend them enough

Athertons were great with the sale of our property, in particular Sam and Owen. Very good communication, polite, easy to contact, even out of hours; and approachable. Queries were answered quickly. Would definitely recommend over the larger estate agents in the area. Thank you.

Sam and Owen have been exceptional in the whole process of recently selling our property. The marketing and photos were superb, and communication and professionalism from the Athertons team was first class .. I would highly recommend them if selling/buying.

Sam and the Athertons team were brilliant with our house sale. Really calm, composed and organised throughout the process. Brilliant communicators who kept us up to date and also chased up the solicitors when needed. We felt we were in good hands, especially during the stressful few weeks leading up to Exchange and Completion. A lovely local business, and a far more personal service to the pink-tie-corporate players.

Sam and the team at Athertons were excellent in assisting us with our recent property move. Sam was on available day and night to support with anything we needed and made the whole process run as smoothly as it could. We would recommend Athertons to anyone and would use them again without any doubts.
