Shona was great through the selling but once property sold, no more communication. Disappointing regards Barbara McPeake
Louise is very in tune with market conditions and realistic predictions. Followed her advice for a great outcome for our family home. Look no further if you need a top agent for advice or buying or selling.
Working with Shona was an absolute game-changer. When it came to selling my house in Hastings, her advice was invaluable. She gave a brilliant, practical suggestions on how to prepare the property before going to market - like declattering and other tweaks which made the house look absolutely beautiful and vastly improved its appeal. What truely blew me away was that her support didn't stop with the sale. She went completely above and beyond by reviewing and giving honest, expert feedback on houses I was considering buying in an entirely different region. Shona's dedication, communication, and genuine care made a stressful transition so much easier. I can't recommend her highly enough!
They were very responsive and always quick answer my question. They demonstrated strong knowledge of the market and provided clean, helpful advice throughout the process. What really made them stand out was their professionalism, friendliness, and willingness to go the extra mile to help. They gave me a clear idea of how the asking price compared with similar properties in the area and explained which features and the condition of the house could affect its value. This helped me make a more informed decision when buying the property.
Caleb’s communication was on point throughout the process and didn’t shy away from any hard conversations. He made the process as smooth as possible
Recommended by our solicitors. Wilma handled the open homes for three months exceptionally. Caleb kept us well informed of what was happening.
Understands the market changes, worked to get the best deal we could in the current market.
Highly recommend Harman! As first-time home buyers, we had endless questions, but Harman was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the whole process. He took the stress out of buying our first home and guided us every step of the way. Thank you, Harman, for your amazing support!"
Strong knowledge and consistent communication through the whole process. Can feel overwhelming as a first home buyer. But very helpful when you have a great agent also
