    What we do and why we do it
    image cannot be displayed

    At Paton & Co we believe that your property is more than just bricks and mortar. It is your home and your sanctuary. A space to fill with memories. The place where your family grows up and your friends gather. It is the most important purchase you make. And when you decide to move on, you need an agent who understands this.

    Here at Paton & Co we offer the market a modern and fresh approach to buying and selling property. We are not a traditional high street agency with the overheads this entails. Yet neither are we a faceless online agent that lacks in the detailed knowledge and appreciation of your area.

    We do things differently. We offer our clients the best of the old and the new, bringing together the knowledge base and the high level of customer care that you would expect from a traditional estate agent, while also providing responsive and intelligent advice.

    We are property-focused and people-centred, and we put our clients first. Selling your home can be stressful, but it doesn't need to be. By combining our market knowledge with technology and a creative and responsive approach to marketing, we can streamline and simplify the process.

    Each property we market is presented with immersive, magazine-worthy photography, while virtual tours bring each home to life. We want potential buyers to be able to experience your home from the comfort of theirs; to welcome them in and show them around.

    By embracing the latest technologies, we provide a global reach that is tailored to a relevant audience. And we go that step further by sharing our knowledge of your local area, enabling buyers to see not only your home but also the lifestyle that comes with it. The lifestyle that could be theirs.

    Whether you are buying or selling property, we will be working with you every step of the way. Our honest and open approach delivers outstanding results and builds long-lasting relationships with our clients.

    Patrick Paton
    After spending time in Australia, Patrick returned to Scotland to start his property career at The Flat Company in Edinburgh, where he specialised in residential lettings. This career move evolved into a keen passion for property, and as he gained in knowledge and experience of the property market, Patrick's career progressed to several senior roles with some of the country's leading estate agencies including Knight Frank and Smiths Gore, before more recently becoming a partner at Rettie.

    Having been an estate agent for many years, Patrick is familiar with the negative clichés that can be associated with this profession, and he prides himself in offering honest and upfront advice that is thoroughly researched. Patrick won't over value or over promise just to win business. Rather, Patrick uses his experience of the market and his astute eye for property to ensure that clients get the right advice when discussing their largest financial asset.

    Celia Paton
    Following her Marketing degree, Celia started a career in property marketing for an international estate agent, and subsequently learnt the art of customer service when running a successful concierge company in Edinburgh, offering a tailored service to both individuals and companies. A short stint agency side saw Celia learning the importance of digital marketing while working with several big clients including John Lewis and Pizza Express. Switching back to property marketing in 2015, Celia became Head of Marketing for a Scottish property firm that enjoyed rapid growth to become Scotland's largest estate agent - largely thanks to its forward-thinking approach to marketing.

    After meeting Patrick and moving to the Scottish Borders, Celia set up a holiday home management company. After the arrival of the two lively Paton boys, Jock and Freddie, this company was taken over by an employee to allow for more family time. Now, with the launch of Paton & Co, Celia is excited to be working alongside Patrick to bring their vision for this dynamic business to life.

    Tamara Inness
    For Operations Manager Tamara Inness, property is in her DNA. Tamara's grandfather had his own estate agency in London, which was continued by her father, and this passion for property flowed into the next generation when Tamara and her brother started their own company in London in 1999, creating serviced offices and an entrepreneurial private members club. Tamara also helped run her father's portfolio of high end residential rental properties on Sloane Square, gaining invaluable customer service experience in the process.

    After moving to the Scottish Borders, where she lives with her husband and young son, Tamara launched a successful tweed business, which she sold in 2013. Tamara's husband also works in property, and the couple have a portfolio of residential rental properties in Edinburgh and Stirling. As our Operations Manager, Tamara will be bringing her superb organisational skills and versatility to the team, not to mention her years of experience working in prime property, ensuring a smooth and efficient sales and purchase experience for our clients.

    Katie Moore
    Growing up in rural North Northumberland, Katie has had a love for property from a young age. While as a teenager she always saw herself working in the property industry, she found herself starting her career at a luxury spa in Northumberland. She then moved on to a varied career in the luxury country clothing industry, from face-to-face retail and helping with events and photoshoots to online customer service.

    Since moving into her home near the Borders town of Kelso with her partner, Katie found herself getting hooked by her love for property and interiors all over again, and this motivated her to pursue a career path within the industry.

    In her new role as a property assistant here at Paton & Co, Katie is relishing the pace of property life and enjoys being one of the first points of contact for buyers and sellers. She is proud to be part of such an innovative business that strives for strong connections and quality customer service.

    Fantastic service from the team at Paton and Co, offering a professional yet friendly and personal approach.

    Catherine B, Google Review, December 2024
  • Seller Testimonial

    I recently sold my cottage through Paton and Co with Chloe as my point of contact. She was very professional, steering me through the whole process with excellent advice. I deliberately didn't go with one of the better known agencies as they tend to over promise and under deliver, Chloe got the price absolutely right and I received 2 offers, which I was hoping for, within 3 weeks of it being marketed. If I sell a property again I'd definitely use them.
