OUR APPROACH
Purposeful Principles. Proven Approach.
At Stanfords, we approach estate agency with energy, integrity, and a human touch. Here’s how we stand out:
It’s Not just a Desk Job
Our work days are rarely routine, which can be a blessing. Our skillset is varied; whether we are selling a new property that has come to the market, handling clients that have dropped by in the office, or negotiating through a new challenge that has presented itself, different tasks require attention and focus. Whether visiting a property, breaking down a survey, understanding a solicitor’s legal jargon or marketing for new clients – everyday offers a chance to do something worthwhile.
We’re People People
We meet people all the time, from all walks of life. Sometimes in good times, sometimes not so much. If you are good with people, outward in your personality and care about those who you meet, then working with Stanfords could be for you.
Driven by Talent and Focus
Being reactive is not productive. There is a lot of competition out there from all avenues and a Stanfords agent needs to be more energetic, determined, knowledgeable and understanding to stand out from the crowd and not blend into obscurity.
Smart Honest and Experienced
People buy from people. People they like, people they trust, people they feel are honest and informed. Having integrity and building a positive reputation requires you to be smart when dealing with clients and negative objections. Experience comes from handling those and learning that everyday there is always something new.
Let’s talk about your next move
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring your options, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Our People: A Diverse and Skilled Team
We educate our people rigorously. There are so many facets to our work and we want our teams to be able to cover all those bases between them. Legal or structural, we make it our business to understand.

creative thinkers, and dedicated organisers all working together to
deliver excellence. Get to know the individuals who make it happen.
Alex Gilbert MNAEA MARLA
Director
Born in London and raised locally, Alex has been in the family business since 2009 and has worked his way up from office junior to his current role looking after the Hither Green office. Alex’s love for property started with wanting to be an Architect throughout school although when leaving sixth form, he went straight into the office to help out with day to day duties and has stuck around ever since. He gets his fix for all things property and architecture by valuing over 300 homes a year for the local residents of Hither Green.
Outside of the office, he spends most of his time eating out, in the gym, or playing golf if the weather’s good enough.
Jack Lowis MNAEA
Branch Manager
Having had a diverse background in hard sales Jack joined us when we opened our Hither Green Office in 2014 and was immediately at home. Having worked his way up from a junior fresh-faced negotiator to assistant manager, Jack now oversees our Catford office and has seen the office become the number one office in SE6 with the most sales agreed in 2020 & 2021.
A keen eye for the intimate details of a property from flooring to pendant lights, Jack has a real passion for property and interior design.
Away from the office, Jack is often being run ragged by his two toddlers George and Jessica or working away redecorating his house. Failing that, you can find him in the Catford Tavern or Ninth Life enjoying a lager and watching Tottenham Hotspur lose!
David Vincent
Branch Manager
David first joined Stanfords some three and a half years ago and hasn’t looked back since. David’s background was in retail, and he has grown into the role and developed into a senior position. A very honest and calm approach conveys perfectly when going through the progression period. David is the steady hands you want to be in.
David loves that no two days are the same and the diversity of the role means has gained him a plethora of skills, including perfecting our in-house photography.
Outside of work, David and his fiancé can mostly be found walking their two energetic dogs or planning their 2022 Christmas wedding!
