You deserve a Letting Agency that won’t let you down

Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, your letting agent should be there when you need them. Quality of service should never depend on which staff member you deal with. But often it does. And that’s unsettling. Everyone deserves a first-class service they can depend on.

You deserve a team that has everything covered for you.

Treating landlords and tenants with respect

We know how helpless you feel when your letting agent lets you down. It’s why we set up back in 2007. Clan Gordon founders (and brothers) Andrew and Jonathan Gordon had suffered their own fair share of poor service and wanted to do things differently - to treat tenants and landlords with respect and deliver the quality service everyone deserves.

Looking For The Right Letting Agent In Edinburgh?

We’re not always the right fit for every landlord and tenant. And we’re ok with that. We prefer to represent landlords who won’t cut corners and will value their tenants. That makes it easier for us to find you tenants who’ll respect the property and pay their rent on time.

What do you love about Edinburgh?

I’ve lived all over the world but something keeps bringing me back to Edinburgh. I love the lifestyle and the people. It’s just the right size for a city. Big enough to have plenty to do and small enough to not feel overwhelmed.

Why Clan Gordon?

Doing the right thing is at the heart of what we do, both for tenants and for landlords. When we started the business it was very common for tenants to be expected to have second-hand furniture, a landlord’s old sofa when it was a bit worn out and they fancied a new one. We felt this was wrong and have focused on getting good flats in good condition in the right area for all the great tenants out there. We have the very best staff who care about delivering this too and they are now the primary reason landlords choose and trust us with their investment.

What’s great about your job?

Having such a great team and knowing I can trust them and rely on them to care and to do things right for landlords and tenants. They’re all well skilled, trained and empowered to carry out their roles and they do a great job.

Director

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Although it’s a busy capital city full of commerce, historic sites and great nightlife its always struck me that you can get on a bus or into your car and 15 minutes later you’re in the shadow of the Pentland Hills with its fantastic walks and mountain bike paths. A great walkable city that offers a huge variety of attractions. I’ve lived here for nearly 50 years and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else (well, maybe Bourdeaux).

Why Clan Gordon?

We have a great team at Clan Gordon who are dedicated to providing landlords and tenants with friendly, efficient and professional service.

What’s great about your job?

Working with colleagues who are 100% committed to our values is an absolute pleasure.

Why Clan Gordon?

What do you love about Edinburgh?

It’s a great-sized city you can wander around and take in all the sites. I love all the amazing places around the city to get coffee and eat out. I also love the buzz about the city as the Festival is on and over Christmas.

Why Clan Gordon?

Clan Gordon has a knowledgeable team of staff with years of experience within the Edinburgh lettings market. The team works very well together and are focused on delivering excellent customer service to both tenants and landlords.

What’s great about your job?

I like working towards deadlines to ensure the landlords are paid each month

Mike Brogan

Head of Property
Management

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Whilst it is a city, Edinburgh feels more like a "large village". It has lots of character and feels original in its layout, compared to other cities, as it is not been planned in a "grid" fashion. It is also punctuated with lots of beautiful green spaces which gives it a more relaxed and less cramped feel.

Why Clan Gordon?

Clan Gordon aims to deliver excellent service to both landlords and tenants, which keeps all parties happy, means less disagreements and ultimately leads to clients’ properties being better looked after. We have excellent reviews to back this up. This in turn helps us let properties quickly, as applicants are confident they will be looked after. This minimises void periods for our landlord clients and maximises rental income for them.

What’s great about your job?

Planning and developing how to implement best practice and efficiency in our property management processes. We have a very cooperative, cohesive and knowledgeable team which makes this enjoyable.

Hannah Doig
MARLA

Head of
Lettings

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Edinburgh is a unique and desirable city to live in, loads of small unique shops to browse around and also the weekend markets in Leith and Stockbridge where you can shop and eat.

Why Clan Gordon?

We have a reliable and knowledgeable team, who genuinely get on and enjoy working together which I think if you enjoy where you work this will reflect on the service you can provide and deliver.

What’s great about your job?

Meeting new clients day in and day out also seeing all different kinds of properties in and around Edinburgh, giving a good service which people appreciate and lastly forever learning new things related to the lettings industry.

Edinburgh is just full of history, and I love the architecture, so many stories about the past and present. Its like a city that never sleeps.

Why Clan Gordon?

We are truly a bunch of friendly and helpful individuals. We treat all our landlords and tenants with respect and will go the extra mile to assist.

What is great about your job?

We are one big happy family. Everyone contributes their part and nothing every seems to be to much for anyone to help. Just a great place to work.

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Edinburgh offers fantastic opportunities for fans of outdoors activities like myself. Some of my favourite spots for walks include Arthur's Seat and the Pentlands, which are located just outside of Edinburgh. I also really enjoy cycling along the Water of Leith or taking a stroll in one of the beautiful parks around town.

Why Clan Gordon?

The team is a fantastic mixture of friendly and kind personalities who really care about what they do. I think Clan Gordon is perfect for anyone who values high-quality customer service.

What’s great about your job?

I love how the job allows me to learn new skills every day. I love working as a part of a fun team!

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Edinburgh is a gorgeous city with excellent landscape and world-renowned architecture. Amenities are great, everything is so accessible, and we are in close proximity to the mountains. I love the small-town feel despite being a major tourist destination and wake up every day feeling lucky to call Edinburgh home.

Why Clan Gordon?

We offer a ‘no fuss’ approach to property management with a wealth of experience and expertise to support each client individually. Clan Gordon has a reputation for excellent customer service and sound understanding of the private rental sector.

What’s great about your job?

The team is so friendly and motivating. I enjoy the variety each day and building relationships with tenants, landlords and contractors.

Anna Furdal

Senior
Property Manager

What do you love about Edinburgh?

I love absolutely everything about Edinburgh; the size, friendly people around and the most beautiful views from whatever you go. It’s never too far to go to a different spot each time for a walk and discover something new about this unique and city full of character.

Why Clan Gordon?

I was Clan Gordon’s tenant in the past and very pleased with the service I received. Eventually, I was inspired by Jonathan Gordon to start my career in lettings. I genuinely love the fact the company I work for has values I share. The tools and software provided to do my job efficiently are really impressive and make my job easier and even more enjoyable.

What’s great about your job?

The fact I can make the landlord’s experience of letting their property smother and hassle-free through my knowledge and wealth of experience gained. The same with tenants – acting quickly and successfully resolving any issues they face whether maintenance or tenancy related makes me feel great about my job.

Dori Greifenstein

Property
Manager

What do you love about Edinburgh?

Edinburgh for me is exciting in that it has a lot of variety; you’ve got Portobello, Leith, Stockbridge, Old Town and New Town to name just a handful of my favourite places! It also has that great mix between rural and urban with parks such as Inverleith and the Meadows dotted around the city! As a dog lover and having only recently got my first pup Freya the French Bulldog, I feel spoilt for choice in terms of where to go for walks whether it be through the beautiful city centre or the gorgeous Pentlands on the fringes of Edinburgh! I really do love Edinburgh and I am so lucky to have the opportunity to live and work here!

Why Clan Gordon?

I have now worked within the property industry for 4 years now and I feel passionate and motivated about what I do. Having worked for my previous employer as a Property Manager for years I felt ready for a change. When I had the chance to work for Clan Gordon, I jumped at the opportunity aware of their glowing reputation within the industry and I haven’t looked back since. I feel at Clan Gordon you are valued as an employee and this is reflected in the work we do.

What’s great about your job?

I feel for the first time I am working for a company that truly cares about me. Two great touches that Clan Gordon offer are they allow you an additional half-hour on your lunch break one day per week and you get to finish at 4 on a Friday. While these may seem small incentives when you have had a busy, stressful week these are times you really look forward to! Having these focuses I find are a great motivation to work harder and to better perform for my clients. I also feel the team as a whole are really welcoming and friendly and this is evidenced in the customers, I speak to who have nothing but good things to say about Clan Gordon.

What do you love about Edinburgh?

I’ve always loved Edinburgh for its rich history, stunning architecture, and the way it blends old-world charm with modern vibrancy. Whether it’s strolling through the cobbled streets of the Old Town or enjoying the green spaces like Holyrood Park, there’s a sense of character and community here that’s hard to match.

Why Clan Gordon?

After working at another letting agency, I was ready for a change—one that aligned more closely with my values and professional goals. Clan Gordon stood out for its reputation for integrity, transparency, and genuine care for both landlords and tenants. Making the move here felt like a natural next step, and I’m excited to be part of a team that’s raising the bar in property management across Edinburgh.

What’s great about your job?

What I enjoy most about being a property manager is the variety and the people. No two days are the same, and I get to build relationships, solve problems, and help maintain homes people love living in. Having previous experience in property maintenance has given me a practical edge—I understand the challenges that can arise and how to resolve them efficiently. It’s rewarding to know that my work makes a real difference in someone’s day-to-day life.

What do you love about Edinburgh?

I love everything about Edinburgh. It’s so unique, in that it has a proper ‘big city’ feel, but you’re also never more than 15/20 minutes away from anything. For a place with so much history, it has been designed with people in mind. Transport links and infrastructure make it easy to commute to almost anywhere easily, meaning no matter which area you live in you can get to know the city well.

Why Clan Gordon?

We are a team that genuinely cares about both our tenants and our landlords. Everyone works hard to find best-outcome solutions for everyone involved, and we do this through efficiency and communication.

I love people, and my job gives me the opportunity to meet and speak with new people every day. Everyone needs somewhere to live, so my job allows me to connect with people I might never have come across otherwise. I love getting to know new tenants at viewings, and speaking to landlords to help understand the best type of tenant to fit their property.
