About Us
What we do and why we do it

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.
