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!
Mark Blakeway
Head of Lettings
Born in Sydney, Mark made England his home back in 2003 and now enjoys the Surrey Hills and south/mid Wales, either mountain biking or walking with his young family. Having lived and worked in Guildford heading up a premium lettings business since 2006, he joined Grantley in 2015 and is passionate about working with the Lettings, Finding and Management Team to elevate the business to a new level. Mark has never completely gotten over the heartbreak of losing the 2003 Rugby World Cup on home turf to the English, a fact that he is regularly reminded of.
Shonda Underwood
Director
Shonda has worked in the Haslemere office since 1997 and has over 28 years letting experience in and around the area, having visited, shown, or valued just about every house in the town and surrounding villages. Shonda thrives on business development, investment landlord acquisition, property lettings and management and has a wealth of local knowledge and contacts, which proves invaluable in the business.

Diana Buck
Lettings Associate
With over 32 years of experience, Diana started her career in the early nineties as a letting agent for some of the capital's most well-known and high-profile brands in areas such as Knightsbridge, Mayfair and Chelsea. This experience of elegant Georgian townhouses and luxury apartments inspired her love of interior design and a deep understanding of the complexities of renovation and refurbishment required to meet the highest possible standards.
In 1998, Diana founded her own business, specialising in designing and refurbishing country houses in both London and Surrey. In 2018, she returned to the agency sector to work for a well-known independent letting and property management firm in Guildford. For the last 6 years, Diana has been synonymous with exceptionally high levels of client service, dealing with the letting and management of some of the finest houses in the Surrey Hills. Diana lives in Cranleigh with her family and spoilt black Labrador, Teddy. In her spare time, she loves cooking and is very good at it (according to her husband!).
Charlie Frost
Lettings Manager
Charlie is no stranger to The Grantley Group having worked with us on a six-month placement whilst studying for his business degree. During his time with us, he gained experience in the Serviced Apartment, Sales and, finally, Lettings departments. After graduation from the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, he worked for a year at a Weybridge agency and then moved to Central London where he honed his skills with a leading estate agent for a further two years. Charlie has returned to us a more professional operator with a distinctive, eccentric charm all of his own (clients love him). Charlie has lived in Surrey for over 25 years, recently moving to Holmbury St Mary, and has a wealth of knowledge about the local area and its people. He lives and breathes country living and is an avid country sportsman.
