Our History

Back in 2006 White & Guard was a mere seedling of an idea, today it is now recognised as a leading and forward thinking estate agency.

This timeline shows some of the key events, people and places that have shaped the company into what it is today.

2006 – 2010
2006 First office opened

As Directors of corporate agencies within the industry for a number of years Jason & Steve see the way in which key elements within the business operate and feel that they need to be done differently and create impact. Surely something like this could work and genuinely stand out from the competition.

White & Guard then opened its first office, formerly the village Police Station, in Bishops Waltham covering the beautiful Meon Valley.

2009 Strength to strength

The company went from strength to strength opening their next office in Hedge End, spear-headed by Director Russell Webb. By this time W&G were increasing their market share in the area, which only complimented the homes that they were now attracting and the client base that they were rapidly building.

2010 Winning awards

W&G also started to be recognised for the results that they were achieving and were successful in winning many awards, which has since continued with the company last year alone securing another eleven at all four of the UK’s largest property events.

2011 – 2015
2011 Team expands

The next office joins and a rapidly expanding team of carefully selected individuals, all chosen as the best within the business and with exceptional track records begins to gain even more ground. Claire Southwell joined as Director having run an office in London for a number of years with Alistair Jones also joining as Director, stepping down from an Area Director role for a large chain, only complimenting an already strong team.

2013 Unrivalled pride

With both its sales and lettings side of the business, run by Kerry Watson, a long-standing, experienced head of the department, the company was now considered to be a business that stood out and one that was ingrained within its community.  White & Guard was now perhaps one of the most comprehensive collectives in existence locally with an unrivalled pride in what they do.

2020 - 2022
2021 Continued expansion

In the ensuring years White & Guard goes onto excel in selling properties throughout every sector leading to a continued expansion and the opening of a further two offices, Bitterne & Fair Oak, run respectively by Jodie Jones, who held a senior role for a large estate agency chain and Darren Challis, having also held senior positions  previously and with over 30 years of experience under his belt.

2022 Returning clients

Having now built a strong affiliation with their client base and with an exceptional tight team of individuals which enables them to see many returning clients, the business continues to grow in a way that is both organic and long-lasting.

2022 - 2025
2025 New website

To coincide with what’s coming up to its 20th anniversary, White & Guard have now launched this new website.
