    Rachael James MARLA
    Partner, Head of LettingsRachael grew up in North Devon and moved to Dorset after taking A Levels where her career in estate agency started in Blandford Forum working for a national company. After five years, the faster way of life of the South East seemed far more exciting and she spent many years working in Henley-On-Thames as a sales manager. Rachael then found that lettings seemed more of a challenge and she studied for her ARLA qualification.Family and the beautiful Dorset countryside were sorely missed and she moved back to Shaftesbury 8 years ago starting her career with Symonds and Sampson at the Dorchester Branch covering the then head of lettings for her maternity leave. An opportunity was then given to start the North Dorset lettings department and she is now based in the Blandford office as Head of Lettings with a large property portfolio.

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Exceeded expectations throughout
      Hi, I have just exchanged on the sale of a property which Neal Wilson at your Wimborne office marketed for me. His client service really has been exceptional and I wanted to let you you know. He has exceeded my expectations throughout the whole sales process. He has been extremely professional, knowledgable, proactive and diligent throughout. It has been very reassuring knowing that he has been dealing with the sale as he quickly earned my confidence that he would do a great job and has gone above and beyond my expectations of great service. He also has a very nice way with people, very calming and polite and gets the right message across. Neal has been superb throughout and is a massive asset to your firm. I really felt that he deserved proper recognition, thus this email. I have also given the office a five star review on google which reflects the service Neal has provided.
