About DOMVS
About DOMVS
DOMVS first opened its doors in 2005, from its flagship office in Dorchester town centre. The company was founded by husband and wife partnership Polly and Neil Greenway, who remain at the helm, alongside a growing team of 30 like-minded property professionals. The DOMVS brand is one of a few truly independent estate agents in the area and now extends across the entire Dorset county, as well as the fringes of Devon, Somerset and Wiltshire.
The decision to launch DOMVS was based on a desire to do estate agency differently. The industry has not always attracted positive press, so our mission was to redefine what is accepted as ‘the norm’ and challenge perceptions of the property selling or letting experience. We believe we have achieved this and our consistent 5* ratings on review sites, such as Google, Facebook and Trustpilot, are testament to the service our clients can expect to receive.
When we’re not busy selling and letting property, we’re out in the community, supporting local events and charities. We work with many local schools and initiatives to help them raise money and our main charity partner is the wonderful Weldmar Hospice Trust. We also hold seminars throughout the year, with guest speakers, aimed at sharing knowledge with the local community and over the years, we have won many awards for our services and local support.
Our Values
Our values are based on integrity, determination and empathy, and are the foundation of our business. They shape the way we operate and the relationships we build. It’s what sets us apart. As a result, we are trusted advisors who are passionate about helping our clients achieve their goals.
Integrity
We believe in maintaining the highest level of transparency and integrity in all our interactions.
Our clients can trust us to provide accurate, unbiased information and we prioritise open and honest communication while nurturing trust and long-lasting relationships.
Determination
We are driven by a relentless determination to exceed expectations and achieve exceptional results for our clients.
Whether it’s securing the perfect property, negotiating the best deal, or navigating complex transactions, our team goes the extra mile. We are relentless in our pursuit of success and work tirelessly until our clients’ goals are met.
Empathy
Buying, selling or letting a home is a deeply personal and emotional experience, which requires kindness and compassion. We listen attentively to our clients’ needs, concerns, and aspirations, and tailor our services to meet their unique requirements.
With genuine care and understanding, we will always provide support, making the process a smooth and positive one.
Our People
We’ve built a dream team of highly capable, highly experienced people, many of whom have lived in the area their entire lives. They all share our passion, values and goals.
DOMVS is Polly’s brainchild. Having spent 19 years as a main board director of a large independent estate agency, she decided to found her own, based on her principles and beliefs.

Our Approach
We make it our business to understand each of our local property markets in detail. We are continuously assessing market trends and our valuations are based on what we genuinely believe the property will achieve, with our expertise, in the current market.
We plan effective launch strategies for every sale or let, depending on market conditions, and we invest every available resource to showcase your property in its best light. Well considered, beautifully crafted property descriptions and professional photography are standard, and if we feel it would be beneficial to have drone footage or twilight imagery, then we’ll be there to capture the moment.
Our sales team are masters of negotiation (trust us, you’ll want them in your corner), and our sales progression team will work tirelessly to ensure the transaction completes.
