About Hearnes Estate Agents, Poole

18-20 Parkstone Road, Poole, BH15 2PG

Who Are We?

Hearnes Estate Agents was set up in 1996 by Lyndon Le Boutillier and Lynda Hearne. Lyndon had been working in Estate Agency since 1982 and Lynda had been working in a customer service industry. They decided to open their own office in Bournemouth Town Centre after researching the local market. As committed Christians they believe their clients deserve a standard of service which was both ethical and effective. "We always endeavour to understand our clients' real needs and fulfil them in a way they have every right to expect. We expect them to judge us on how well we achieve these aims."

The business grew quickly and they married in 1998 and opened their second office in Ferndown shortly after. This was followed by an office in Ringwood. In 2006, just before the birth of their fourth child, Lyndon had a skiing accident which meant an 18 months' recovery. The Bournemouth Office was sold to a leading international estate agent during this time.

Sally Gravener and Anthony Holtom then bought into the company in 2010 as Shareholders and Directors, running the Ringwood Branch. They brought with them a huge wealth of experience and local knowledge. In 2013 we moved back into Bournemouth town centre and the original Hearnes site was re-opened by Sally.

Alan Gosgrove in Wimborne was then incorporated by Hearnes, who rebranded it in 2014 with Mark Stylianou joining as a Shareholder and Director.

All the directors of Hearnes believe in giving excellent customer service and being the best they can be. From the start, they set out to change people's perceptions of estate agency; to prove that friendliness and professionalism can go hand in hand; to be open and straightforward and always be ready to help; to be responsive and accountable and live up to every promise they make.
