We have used Michael and his team for several purchases and sales during the past 18 years.  During this time Oakleys Estate Agents have never failed to provide anything short of an outstanding service.

From the initial talks about how to market the property for optimum results, the way in which the viewings are organised, the expertise of the viewing staff, the communication throughout the sales process with the sales progression team and even the after sales care is second to none.

From our  house sale perspective we appreciated the up front and direct discussions and guidance  re: marketing strategy and  price positioning , and were very pleased with the resultant quick sale and price achieved.
