From the rugged and romantic moorland of Bodmin Moor and the verdant valleys of the Rivers Tamar and Fowey to the beautiful coastline of the Cornish Riviera our experience and depth of knowledge provides clients and buyers alike with an estate agency experience which breaks with tradition, we provide candid opinion and fresh-faced enthusiasm for our property stock and our location. We don’t just work here we live here too, we have a wide network of professional contacts and if we do not know the answer we undoubtedly know someone who does! There is no doubt that the internet has changed the estate agency market place, we list all of our properties on OnTheMarket. We recognise that our clients have busy lives and as a result we run a cloud-based telephone system enabling us to take telephone calls and email enquiries outside of traditional office hours and respond with a dynamism that sets us apart from high street agencies. We also are well connected with journalists who write for national newspapers and magazines and will use our best endeavours to have your property exposed in this way. Discreet marketing is available, we have a large database of active national and international buyers enabling us to privately match their needs with yours without the need to expose your property on the internet. Our office is strategically placed on the edge of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Tamar View Nurseries, with lots of free parking and views across the valley to the foothills of the moor. You are most welcome to call in to discuss your property requirements.
