The Grantley Way
Whether you wish to discreetly market your property or are looking for maximum exposure, the success of your chosen approach requires one fundamental and carefully considered element – an estate agent that cares about what is best for you and your needs. This tailored approach has always been hard to find on the high street, until now!
"Someone asked me the other day, ‘What makes you different from all of the other agents and why should we use you?’ I love this question, for me it is an easy answer:
Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. We believe that every home is as individual and unique as the owner, and as such, no property brochure or photography shoot is ever the same.
We believe that specific and individual marketing is paramount when showcasing your home. We tailor everything to focus on your needs as a client and how best to promote your home in the most effective and inspirational way that we can.
Each and every client deserves to be treated as an individual and we work to your pace and with your ambitions at the forefront of everything we do. Oh, and by the way - we love what we do."
~ David Williams, Director

The Marketing Team
David Williams
Director
David has been an agent since 1997, and throughout his 24-year career in property he has had the privilege of working for a number of industry-leading property agencies in Prime Central London, South West London, Surrey and Hampshire. Since joining Grantley in 2016, David has been instrumental in evolving the company's brand, introducing a more tailored approach to property marketing and overseeing the development of Grantley’s web and social media strategies. David is utterly client focussed and nothing is ever too much trouble - if a house needs staging for a photo shoot or a garden needs attention to capture that all-important shot, it is not uncommon for David to roll his sleeves up and get stuck in!
David prides himself on ensuring every client’s home is marketed in the best possible way. Through this diligent approach he enables owners from Country Estates to Ultra modern eco houses to achieve their goals. He prides himself on a passionate knowledge of listed buildings and the more quirky country houses that the area is known for. Living next to Merrow Downs, the perfect place for David’s love for the great outdoors, he is a keen mountaineer and can often be found trail running around the Surrey Hills in preparation for his next adventure. David is the very proud father of a very active 9 year old boy and a grown up daughter who is now training to be a teacher. He lives life to the full and hates sitting still for more than 5 minutes!

Edward Brett-Field
Branch Manager - Godalming
Having successfully worked for several of the large ‘prime’ estate agents in the area, as many people who have been through the process of buying, selling, or trading in property know, the process lacks clarity, certainty, and trust. When clients are selling their largest asset, they need to trust the person who is handling the transaction on their behalf. When this is achieved, a sale and purchase can be far less stressful, more enjoyable and the exciting experience that it should be. The flexibility of working for Grantley, a highly regarded independent agent, allows Edward the time to understand his clients, build genuine relationships, and therefore tailor the process to their exact needs. When Edward isn’t in the office, he enjoys keeping fit and can be found running through the Surrey Hills or exploring the area with his young family. Living locally in Witley, Edward is passionate about the area and is part of the juniors coaching team at Guildford Rugby Club.

Sarah Ellis
Director
Sarah has been based in the Haslemere office for over 17 years, having previously worked in the travel industry. This time has enabled Sarah to build a wealth of property management experience, dealing with all aspects of new business and ongoing client relationships. Sarah has a passion for interior design and refurbishment and is often asked to coordinate refurbishment projects on her clients' behalf, and as a landlord herself, Sarah can empathise with the requirements of both landlords and tenants. When not at work Sarah is a keen golfer, enjoys entertaining with friends and family and of course a glass of chilled sauvignon!

Lisa Pollard
Director
Lisa joined Grantley in January 2021 following the merger with her own lettings business, LP Lettings, which she set up and ran for almost 9 years. Lisa started her lettings journey in Knightsbridge some 27 years ago and has amassed a huge number of clients and contacts throughout Surrey and prime central London.

Living in Thursley, Lisa is often out on the common enjoying long walks with her dog and spending time with her family.
