Fiona really does her homework, puts a lot of effort into property appraisal and has great understanding of the market. Her communication is superb along with her professionalism. When it came to closing the deal she worked relentlessly, and was excellent working in with another agent which was a huge benefit. I would highly recommend Fiona for anyone looking to market their property to its potential.

Right from the beginning having chosen Vaughan and John to market my property I felt the utmost confidence that the process would be carried out with utmost professionalism and integrity. The information was given clearly and simply and had no doubt that they had my best interest foremost. Vaughan and John have kept in touch with me over many years with thoughtful gifts left either in the letter box at Easter or hand delivered at Christmas time. I highly recommend Vaughan and John to help anyone thinking of putting their property on the market. Thank You both for your support

Vaughan was good to deal with, from the outset he wasn’t pushy, was knowledgeable about the property and anything he didn’t know he found out. He was very professional in all our dealings with us.

Vaughan & John were not our original choice of agents, but we had heard good things about them. We arranged to meet them and from the very first few moments of our introduction, we were impressed. John and Vaughan's personalities complement each other; they came across as friendly, confident and professional. They were very efficient in getting a marketing plan back to us and explained everything well. At no stage of the marketing campaign did we feel like they were not doing enough for us as vendors. Their communication throughout was impeccable. We truly felt that they were doing the best for us at all times. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John Holmes and Vaughan Wilson and their behind the scenes assistant, Amelia. Previously having had properties on the market had been a bit nerve wracking, but was made to feel more relaxed.

The RateMyAgent Experience
Every verified review on RateMyAgent is linked to a specific property transaction, ensuring that the feedback comes from real buyers and sellers. This also allows you to view key property details - such as location and number of bedrooms - so you can find reviews relevant to your own real estate journey. With our verification process, you can trust that the experiences shared are real, reliable, and helpful.
Integrity is at the core of what we do. We conduct rigorous daily integrity checks on all reviews, using multi-stage verification to analyse submission data and behavioural patterns for potential anomalies. Suspicious reviews may be rejected outright or escalated for further scrutiny by our internal team.
Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
Through verified reviews and price satisfaction insights, we highlight top-performing agents who consistently exceed client expectations. All agents can request and collect reviews for free, and subscription status has no impact on rankings or award eligibility. Our Agent of the Year Awards and platform rankings are based solely on verified client feedback and performance. By celebrating excellence fairly and transparently, we help consumers find the best agents with confidence.
