Whether you’re buying your first home, selling to find something new, or looking for a profitable investment, Carlo is dedicated to guiding you with honesty and care. He believes that taking a client-first approach - prioritising what’s right for you over a quick sale - is the key to building lasting relationships.

Carlo built Your Key Move on three core values: integrity, excellence, and empathy. These principles shape every decision, from the first consultation to the final handshake.

A Journey Built on Experience

Over the years, he developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by homebuyers, sellers, and investors. Carlo saw that many clients felt overwhelmed by the complexities of the real estate market and often struggled to find trustworthy guidance.
Motivated by a desire to offer more than just standard property services, Carlo established the estate agents in Folkestone with a mission to redefine how people buy, sell, and invest in the surrounding areas. These surrounding areas include Ashford, Hawkinge, Hythe and Sandgate. His vision was to create a company that put clients first, offering personalised advice and support every step of the way.

We were highly recommended to YOUR KEY MOVE from friends who recently sold their property with them and we haven't been dissapointed. From the first call to Carlo to actually closing the deal he was faultless. We had viewed a property and needed to get on the market asap and he came that evening producing the photos and the property was on the market within 2 days. The 1st booking made within a couple of hours of going live and the house sold to the 1st person that viewed for over the asking price. Buying and selling is stressful and Carlo has definately taken the stress out of it so far. Thank you so much for all your help to give us the best chance to secure our dream property. We would certanly give more than 5 stars if we were able

Lorraine Hughes

Upon instructing Carlo to deal with the sale of my property, he was proactive in all aspects of administration and marketing, providing useful advice to achieve optimum value. Within 24hrs of instruction, Carlo had achieved the full asking price for my property, going above and beyond to secure the desirable outcome. Thanks so much!!

Matthew Boxell

Great service, good communication and competitive rate. Carlo took some fabulous photos of my flat which really showed it at its best, resulting in a full asking price offer from the first viewer. Highly recommend!

Jayne Stuart

Your Key Move are the best! We are sooo impressed with Your Key Move. We negotiated a great commission price, our listing went on very quickly, and the communication from the team was great! They kept us informed at all times with regards to viewings and feedback. We achieved a great asking price for our house in just 3 weeks! We are chuffed to bits and we do highly recommend Carlo & his team.

Gemma Hall

I contacted Carlo about looking around a few properties and omg he couldn't of been more helpful. He was so polite and patient and you could just see straight away he wasn't about the money but wanted you to have the right place. I couldn't of been more happy as a customer of how I and my family were treated. When we next need a Folkestone estate agent, we will never go anywhere else. Thank you so much for everything you have done and are doing.
