My early career was quite varied beginning with working for a local authority in South Wales, where I dealt mainly with Right to Buy. I spent some years with British Airways working my way through to a position as Trainer before leaving to start a family. Over a period of time while my children were young, my roles varied from sales support/admin to livery yard hand and even wedding make-up artist.
I took on prominent roles within voluntary groups, becoming the chairwoman of the large primary school PTA for some years before we left Berkshire. Like many people, we couldn't wait for an opportunity to move to the West Country and we did that in 2002, when we were lucky enough to acquire a building plot in the lovely village of Thorncombe (West Dorset) and carried out a "self-build", where we remain very happily.

This happened by coincidence rather than design however we have found it gives us a compassionate edge over some other agents; something that can be invaluable throughout the buying and selling process.We have a passion for property combined with traditional values of service, with an emphasis on excellent communication.

Our Coastal Service offers bespoke marketing for unique Coastal Properties along the Jurassic coast, with a particular focus on Lyme Regis and Charmouth. We have seen a surge of interest in these areas over the past few years and even more so recently. We are frequently contacted by out of area buyers, eager to find their new coastal home, many of them cash buyers with budgets in the region of 500,000 to 1.5M - the demand is clear.
A most surprising period property with parking and garden situated on the edge of the town within a short walk of shops and cafes. The house has Georgian origins and has been extended under the current ownership to provide generous family accommodation. The property has many lovely period features and even the modern extension is delightfully quirky.
An absolutely delightful cottage that has been finished and presented to a very high standard under the current ownership. When the owners bought the property, it had been let for many years and was in need of a good overhaul. As a result the new owners had a large project on their hands. All ceilings and walls had to be replastered, some roof work was carried out and chimneys were lined before any cosmetic work began.

We chose Gordon & Rumsby to sell our house for us as we were initially impressed with how professional and enthusiastic about our home Julie Gordon was. We had also noticed how many of their ‘For Sale’ boards had turned into ‘Sold’ boards! They are on all of the major house selling platforms such as Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket etc.
We could not have been more pleased with their service, right through to the completion of our sale. The lovely ladies, especially Debbie, kept us informed every step of the way and took a genuine interest in us and our sale. Most of their work happens after

In these somewhat difficult 'covud' times I have both bought and sold through Gordon & Rumsby. They have been both proactive, and extremely efficient, and never letting things get on top of this selling and buying marlarky. Which desparately needs an overhaul, without G&R., things would have gone haywire, for sure.
Buying and selling is never easy, and they do their utmost to make it as easy as can be allowed. I recommend them highly, and would use them again.
Their local knowledge is excellent, and the employees are so energetic with nothing being too much trouble for them. A truly excellent

Gordon & Rumsby recently acted in the sale of my property and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services. Nothing is too much trouble for Julie and her fantastic team. They are professional, attentive and offer a first class service. When any problem arose, friendly and helpful advice was always forthcoming. I can't thank them enough and long may they continue to offer their expertise in the property market.

Highly reliable and proactive. I have high standards for any business and Gordon and Rumsby met them on every level. If you want an honest, professional proactive Estate Agent with excellent local expertise and contacts, I would recommend them.
