Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    We're an unusual estate agent and very proud of it. It's our goal to dispel the idea that 'all estate agents are the same. We want our clients to be able to trust us, to be able to heed our advice without qualms and to feel truly comfortable when dealing with. That way we know that we’ll be adding value to every move that we’re involved in. We create lasting relationships with our clients who, more often than not, are making hugely important and deeply personal life decisions when buying, selling or renting their homes. And, above all, we’re an integral part of the community; contributing as much as we can to enhancing the local environment and really connecting with people in the area. We are your independent, boutique and personal estate agent that has you and your property at the heart of everything we do. So after 4 smashed office windows, winning multiple national awards, half a dozen soggy shoulders from clients’ tears of happiness or despair, plentiful bouquet of flowers, copious amount of chocolates, many sense of humour failures between the three business partners, very tolerant spouses, too many sleepless nights and a bucket load of hard work, from our wonderful team, to deliver great customer service, we’re still here.
