You’re in Good-ing Hands

We’re an agency with its roots firmly embedded in the West Bridgford and Nottingham property market.

Our hands-on directors are the brother and sister duo of Chloe and Dan Gooding, who are third-generation estate agents.

The Gooding family first started helping people buy, sell, rent and let property in the 1930s when Chloe and Dan’s grandfather, Charles, opened his own agency.

Charles successfully sold the business, but in 1988, his son (and the dynamic duo’s father), Rex, opened Rex Gooding Estate Agents.

Dan and Chloe took over from their father when he retired and have ensured the family focus of our agency has remained strong.

From the very beginning of the agency, more than 90 years ago, they have always maintained family values within the business.

That’s one of the keys to their longevity. They believe in treating people, be that their clients, colleagues, or the community they serve, with respect, integrity, honesty and the highest standards of care.

The strong family links to the area mean they take enormous pride in giving back to the community in several ways.

As a local, family-run independent business, they believe they offer a far more personalised approach than larger or corporate agencies.

For more than 90 years they have been looking after their clients just like their family.

Dan and Chloe Gooding explain how the company began and what the company means to them

Charles Gooding was born in 1909 and qualified as a chartered surveyor in 1930.

During WW2 Charles Gooding worked for the military requisitioning properties for the war effort. 14.5 million acres of land, 25 million square feet of industrial and storage premises and 113,350 non-industrial premises were requisitioned during the Second World War. The War Office alone requisitioned 580,847 acres between 1939 and 1946. After the war Charles Gooding worked for Nelson H. Sutton a firm of Estate Agents & Chartered Surveyors. He went on to acquire the business and on his retirement sold the firm to Beardsley Theobalds that later sold out and became Halifax Property Services.
