		<description><![CDATA[Mark was very polite, professional and impartial. He presented me with all the information, facts and honest advice from his experience to allow me to make my own decisions. The rest of the Parkers team (including Grace) were very efficient in organisng my property to be ready for let and helped fill the property in under a week at a great price. These guys are highly recommended and didn't at any stage push or try any traditional &quot;sales pitches&quot; on me. Cheers Mark, a pleasure to do business with you.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking to rent a property in Lower Early, in Reading, then look no further than Parkers who are based in Lower Early. All the staff working in the Lower Early branch are helpful and provide a good service. Any maintenance problems were resolved quickly and Abi was particuarly helpful in ensuring a smooth check in and check out service. The staff are efficient but relaxed and friendly. I found the agents very easy going who allowed me to move into my property at an earlier date than expected as well as being very flexible with my move out date. I didnt feel as if i was being ripped off by the agents and valued thier trust worthy service which is so important when renting a property. My experience with this branch has been consistently very good.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I was interested to buy this property and made an offer. Parkers has accepted my offer after 4 days. But within 24 hour they changed their mind and informed someone else has offered more and so we will take that offer, if you do not increase.  As they told the new offer is significantly higher than my offer, I was not in a position to make an higher offer. They may be right in taking up the higher offer, but they are wrong in accepting my offer when they knew that someone else has seen the property already and has not made any offer yet. They should have waited for the other person to make an offer before accepting mine. This particular property was in the market for more than 8 weeks when I made the offer and what is surprising is, within a day of my offer getting accepted someone else made a significantly higher offer. There might not be anything dodgy here, but I canâ€™t convince myself that everything was in order all the way. I hope they do not do anything like this to anyone else.<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Both Max and Abi have provided a great service from the start of our tenancy.  
Nothing was ever too much trouble for them to look into and if we did have any problems or queries they were both more than helpful to get this resolved for us ASAP.  For example our cooker was unusable; the glass had fallen out of the front of the door the week before christmas and having to prepare meals for the festive period without a working cooking is near impossible.  Once we advised Max what had happened and the view that Christmas was just around the corner, Max ensured that this was fixed and useable within a short time span.  Which was fantastic as it meant that I could go on with my personal life without any further inconvenience.  Which is what you need from a letting agency - not to be calling and chasing every 5 minutes to ensure the job is done.  Completely hassle free!
Would definitely recommend anyone looking to rent to go through the Parkers letting agency in Lower Earley, everything is done by the book and they work with the tenant and landlord to ensure the property is properly maintained.  
Great service all round and always pleasant and cheerful!
Thank you to both Max and Abi as made our stay in our rented home a pleasure and definitely not a nightmare as in previous tenancy arrangements with other agencies.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

They did everything they could to chase up solicitors etc as we needed to complete to a tight deadline. Everything happened exactly as they said it would and we would recommend parkers estate agents to all.

		<description><![CDATA[I have recently purchased a property being marketed by Parkers Reading and my contact was Damien Glowacki.
The service I have received from begiining to end has been fantastic and Damien has been thorough, honest and helpful all the way through.
All of the numerous issues were on my side as I had problems with my mortgage lender. This caused delays amounting to around 3 months, during which time Damien was extremely understanding and helped keep the relationship with the vendor as smooth as possible. I never felt that Parkers was just representing their interests; I genuinely got the impression that they cared about customer service, both for the vendor AND the prospective buyer. 
I would highly recommend Parkers and they will be my first choice of agent as required.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year I looked into an investment property and at the time spent a lot of time with Parkers, who were honest, patient and gave excellent advice, which I  followed and held off buying until this year. I have now put an offer in on a property which has been accepted. What I particularly like about Parkers is that they never pushed or tried to cajol me into buying. When I was being shown around Ben was really helpful  giving balanced advice, highlighting pros and cons rather than trying to push me into a decision, he was patient and happy to show me as many properties as I wanted before I choose. He was also incredibly respectful of the vendors, whish I thought showed integritey.
Honesty and respect are high on my agenda when buying a property and I can honestly say that all the staff treated me with these. I would thoroughly recommend Parkers.
Mark who deals with lettings also spent a lot of time talking to me about practical issues and returns etc.
 I would like to take this time to thank everyone for their prompt, honest, professional yet personal service. It was a pleasure rather than headache buying this property, also thank you for your relentless patience.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

He liased between myself and the tenant in a very prompt and professional manner and the follow up work since the tenant moved in has also been dealt with in a positive manner; keeping me up to date with everything I need to know.

		<description><![CDATA[I cannot fault the service that I had when I purchased my property back in 2009.  Daniel was always professional who knew the area, gave good sound advice especially for me who knew nothing about the area except it was on the M4 route. I was also recommended to an excellent lawyer.  I was very happy with the service that I received that I didn't even think about going anywhere else to rent the property out begining of 2010.  I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel for Sales and Dawn for her property management professionalism to anyone.  Well done and a big thank you to you all for making the whole process almost stress free.  I will definately use them in the future.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

As it is my first purchase I found Jay very helpful as not only did she show me potential properties in my price range, she also gave me a good insight into the house buying process which I was unsure on. Unlike other estate agents that I went to I feel Jay was only too happy to spend time explaining this to me and found her very professional. I am still looking for my first property but I will definately be using parkers to assist me with this as I was very happy with the service.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Firstly, I want to say how impressed I am with this letting agent and would recommend them to anyone.
I was particularly impressed the first time I ever had dealings with Paul a couple of years ago, I called at 9pm (thinking I would leave a message), and he answered! 
Great customer service is provided. Paul gave me all the help I needed and answered all the questions I had. 
I feel the Cirencester office is a credit to Parkers and it has been a pleasure dealing with him.
They are BY FAR the best letting agent in Cirencester.

		<description><![CDATA[Mark in Particular (as he was the 1st contact person I spoke to from Parkers), and all other Staff Members are brilliantly well skilled to have you experience a 5 star experience in customer services. Mark did everything to help me out from negotiating with the landlord about my requests to making sure everything else adapts with my needs (rather than me adapting to the property) .. I came in contact with him today as well. He's a great listener, a clear talker, passionate, and an important asset to your business.
I would like to also thank every other person at Parkers there for &quot;naturally &quot; smiling anytime of day, regardless of the pressure of work.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

I didnt know anything about how much i could afford and they got me in contact with one of their mortgage brokers, which I found very helpful. I also didnt know about solicitors fees which again they were very helpful in explaining to me. 

I have viewed various properties through Parkers and each time they have been efficient and thourgh. 

I am still waiting for the perfect property for myself and hopefully Parkers will help assist me with this!!!<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazing is the first word that springs to mind. We lost our 1st buyers beginning Dec 2011 and Rob, Neil and Adrian worked a miracle with a new buyer within 3 days of putting our house back on the market  Dec 2011. They also pushed all parties to ensure the deal was completed asap and by 31st Jan 2012 we were in our new home. 
Thats what I call dedication.

We instructed Parkers again as they were true professionals when they sold our last house in 2004 and we wanted to work with an agent that understood our needs and provided us with an excellant customer experience. We highly recommend the team  in Earley for delivering a 1st class service and going beyond the call of duty. They care about you as a person and thats what makes them stand out from the crowd. An agent with a heart and soul. Robert &amp; Neil you were fantastic we could not have asked for anything more you delivered everytime. A very BIG thank you.

Thank you again for all your help in achieving our dream of moving to start our new life ahead.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I bought a 'buy to let'  property in Reading through Parkers in 2010. We did not have much knowledge of the local property market but found Mark Brooker to be the most helpful and courteous estate agent that we have come across in our 27 years of buying and selling properties. Damian helped greatly with the negotiations and ensured that the buying process went as smoothly as possible. This good experience was a key factor in helping us decide on choosing Parkers as the letting agent too. Within a week of being on the market, our property had been let to good quality tenants by their excellent lettings team! I have found the Parkers team to be very professional and would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of buying and/or renting in Reading.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

Being from another country and coming into a market cold can be very difficult at times but the team at Parkers made it extremely easy. Everyone in there office was obliging and friendly in their approach. This became evident by the third or fourth day everyone in the office knew who I was and we were on a first name basis. I would especially like to thank Damian who was just incredible and nothing was ever to much trouble for him and he actually went out of his way to assist me with things that would normally be outside the realms of his responsibilities. I felt an immediate connection with the staff here so much so that I am contemplating doing further business in Reading with the team from Parkers.

The main thing for me is this: they were there when you needed them. If they said they would phone back, in, say, half an hour, they did phone back without fail and punctually so. They have what so many agents seem to lack: a sense of urgency, but also a sense of humour and somehow a soothing, calming effect on overstimulated customers overwhelmed by the complexities and uncertainties of buying (or selling) a home. I could wax lyrical about them for a while longer, but won't: let me just say this: consummate professionals, honest, knowledgeable, caring (oh dear, I wax again) . Thanks Parkers - Peter<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I sent out a blanket email to a few agents asking for properties in the Reading area, and Parkers were very quick to get back to me, and gave me a lot of detailed information quickly. After one phone call I had five viewings booked all on one day, some of which I hadn't thought of looking at and were suggested by the agent herself. Once we'd found a potential house we made a couple of requests regarding what furniture was provided and the monthly rental price, all of which were met.

My only criticism would be that during the viewings we were told that in some cases we would be meeting other people there who also wanted to see the property. I wasn't terribly keen on this, as it can be quite awkward, especially if both groups want to make an offer! I would urge Parkers to ask prospective tenants in advance if they're OK with this, but it is a minor quibble.

Overall I'd definitely recommend using Parkers in the future.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

From the initial valuation we felt comftorble and were not put under any pressure to sign a contract on the spot unlike some other agents. Then when we did decide to go onto the market Parkers were able to secure viewings on the property before detail sheets had been produced which was impressive.

Despite acting on their clients behalf they offer fair, friendly advice to help the transaction from both thier clients (the sellers) and our (the buyers) point of view.  I knew if I had any questions whatsoever they were there to help and they always returned calls promptly.  Our move was very speedy (just over 2 calender months) and that is thanks to the team at Parkers, Earley helping move things along as and when necessary - nothing was even too much trouble.  We will definitely have them back to value our new home once we have finished our renovations and would recommend them to anyone who is looking towards buying or selling and also renting!

		<description><![CDATA[From the very start Jason Soane the agent was professional, and I believe very honest.  As always we spoke to a number of agents before we selected Parkers and gave them all the same brief.  Our home was not the standard four bedroom standard property and would require special marketing and appeal to a limited number of buyers.  We recieved a whole variety of recommended marketing values some of which were very tempting but lacked credability.  We felt confident that Jason's had listned carefully to our brief and his advice was realistic and met our objective - we wanted to sell our house.

From the very start there were a good number of viewings and a buyer was found in three weeks, unfortunately this fell through days before we were due to exchange and our world collapsed.  At this stage friends and colleagues suggested that we should change agents....we didnt understand the logic and met up with  Jason to review our strategy once again he demonstrated his professionalism and very quickly had us in a positive mood.  Within four weeks we had another buyer.  

The chain was quite a long one and very soon we were experiencing every conceivable problem that can possibly be encountered in concluding a sale.  The exchange date kept moving further and further away and we began to feel it would never happen, at this stage we we received contined support and encouragement from Jason who was in  frequent contact with other agents in the chain.  Alls well that ends well and we eventually completed six months after placing the property on the market.  This was our seventh and last move.... But if we ever did move again we wouldnt hesitate to use Parkers in Basingstoke again.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

There have been a few situations I didn't know how to best tackle and after talking to Steve and the ability there is for someone to get over quickly to the property I've felt much better.

		<description><![CDATA[I believe Parkers Estate Agents did everything possible to ensure the sale of my home was quick, and painless.  Their communication was excellent and they were direct, which is exactly what I asked from them.
Our house took several months before it sold, but I believe they did everything possible.  
The houses we viewed through Parkers were great, and the details they gave us were thorough. It was unfortunate we found our perfect house with another agent, as they were a nightmare and not honest with us.
I highly recomend Parkers estate agents in Tilehurst, Reading.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a first class estate agency that is totally on the ball. My son came back from his 3rd Afghan tour
and decided to move to a larger property in the Chalford area. He located a property on sale with Parkers
in Stroud, viewed it but needed to sell his 2 bed house in Chalford before he could make an offer. Andy came
to the rescue, put it on their books and marketed it brilliantly. He came up with several good ideas and price
matched any drop on the selling property against the buying property. My son and the vendor of the other 
property co-operated fully as they both wanted to upsize and time was of the essence . A buyer was found
in good time, my son has completed the sale and purchase. Parkers even gave my son a discount on fees
as he was also buying through them. It is a very difficult market and all vendors/purchasers need to be
realistic. Without Parkers my son would not have achieved his sale/purchase before going off to foreign
parts again. Andy many thanks for your 100% effort, can-do attitude and friendly, polite manner.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I found Parkers aftersales service quite professional. In the 1.5 years we have lived in the property, we hardly faced any issues barring a couple of occassions when we had not water. But this was given due importance the situation was re-stored very quickly after a request was made to the office. I hope Parkers give me additional discount on administrative charges when I look for a property to let next time. Overall good service. 

Couple of areas of improvements : 
1) The adminstrative charges are exhorbitant (I cannot quite fathom being charged £400 for printing out documents, inventory checking and very less proactiveness from the sales staff) Only if this could be reduced to a more purse friendly amount.
2) Parkers did not allow any contact with the landlord, thereby introducing additional layer for any issues (although we did not face very many). But this should be more discretionary if tenants are well behaved - which was the case with us.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Having sold many houses through various estate agents, all over the country too - I must take this opportunity of 'bigging up' the whole firm that I dealt with in the Reading Town Centre office.

My first experience with the estate agent was when one of their 'fliers' landed on my doorstep, not the first one I have to admit, however as they stated that they have genuine investor buyers looking for properties in my area I thought I would pop into the office to see what they were all about - was a Saturday afternoon and I am sorry but I cannot recall the young mans name who I spoke to but all went very well and I was very impressed, he made a booking for the valuer to call round on Monday afternoon and then this was when I met Craig Pearson - honestly I cannot praise the guy enough, experienced, knowlegable, friendly and proffessional - all rolled into one - now I am NOT the sort of person who writes reviews but credit where credit due - we agreed a price to sell my house at, agreed their terms - there and then and he busied away with his posh laser tape, describing the house as he went and also took excellent photographs - so much so that I was almost tempted to buy it myself!!!

I digress- within 48 hours Craig brought around the eventual buyer agreed to pay me almost the full price and all went through the solicitors and mortgage company within 3 weeks, yes 3 weeks - so quick in fact that I found myself needing to rent a small 1 bedroom apartment and guess what? Yes thats right Craig came to the rescue and organised a 6 month let where I am right now typing this actually.

All in all an excellent firm to deal with, I don't think I have ever needed to call them throughout the whole process except to pick up the keys for the rented place.

A job well done and I would definatley recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Keep up the good work Craig and all the team behind you.

		<description><![CDATA[I took my case to the Ombudsman.

I went to work abroad and arranged for parkers to be the letting agent - fully managed service. the incompetent individual at parkers agency allowed the tenant access to my house BEFORE the tenancy began. the tenant threw out my fridge, removed curtains, ripped out built-in kitchen and bedroom cupboards, shelves and filled a skip with them (which the agent apparently didnt notice), cut off/pulled out most broadband cables, leaving the rest dangling in mid-air and repainted the property to their own requirtements. The inventory was taken AFTERWARDS so there was no reflection of my property as i had left it.

Total damage was around £2,000.  I was awarded £200 by the Ombudsman as it was my word against theirs that i had given permission for all this..........     Moral of the story:  PUT EVERYTHING IN WRITING.  Current tenancy agreement states nothing to be done without written request from and written permission by the landlady.

Parkers rating from this landlord    -100 =  TRASH<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[We began renting with Parkers shortly before the new management team took over.  After six months renting, the landlord decided to sell the house, meaning we had to move out.  Unfortunately there was nothing suitable for us on Parkers' books, so we had to go to another estate agent.  However, throughout the whole moving out process, Parkers were extremely helpful, efficient and supportive.  After experiencing a check out which was very messy and aggresive in a previous property (and lettings agent!), Parkers were very reassuring and gave us really helpful advice on how to vacate the property.  
I have always found the team at Parkers to be very friendly and have the best interests of the tennants in mind.  I would definately go back to Parkers in the future.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

I have always found them to be fast and efficient and, even though I place my properties with a second letting agent too, it's invariably Parkers that find the tenants.  Most recently they very quickly found me some excellent tenants for a property and the whole thing was smooth from start to finish.  The team there really seem to know what they are doing and they also seem to have the hunger and will to make something happen.

		<description><![CDATA[We signed up to Parkers to sell our property after reading the reviews on this website.  We were happy with all the initial organisation, however the pictures they took of the property were below average and not high quality and we ended up providing them with ones we took.  I asked them to keep us informed with the statistics of how many on-line viewings we'd had, which I had to then chase them for each week.  We've had 3 (apparent) viewings in the last 11 weeks and we have now moved to a new estate agent.  I say apparent as I'm not even convinced they had people in when they say they did as nothing looked touched or moved and the feedback they gave (which I had to chase again) was always the same.  Parkers just didn't seem bothered about selling our 1 bedroom flat - maybe it was below them?!  I personally wouldn't recommend the Reading Branch, they were just too laid back and not pro-active enough!<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

We were only in town for 2 days trying to see as many as possible and they arranged viewings quickly, even suggesting other flats. One was over our budget but they got the rent down for us and here we are today! A very quick, efficient service with the hold and paper work signed before we had to leave town and we had the same girl look after us. A bit of confusion with our renewal since our landlord wanted us to go on to a rolling contract but they were very flexible and we soon got our fee back. Looking to expand to a small house now and and would love to use Parkers again but they don't seem to have anything suitable at the moment, which is a real shame!

		<description><![CDATA[Over the years my wife and I have had many dealings with estate agents through our previous work and as landlords.  So when we came to sell our house we made sure that we talked to a number of different agents before choosing who to sell with.  Parkers and particularly Ben was very good in that initial chat, however, even though are heart said go with him are mind said go with a larger agency.  What a mistake that turned out to be, so we soon ditched them and went back to Parkers.  Within seconds of making that choice we knew we had made the right decision.  There customer services is excellent and the main agent who was assigned to us, James, constantly kept in touch with viewers feedback.  And when we got a sale, he handled this with a great deal of professionalism and drove it through brilliantly.  I can't rate them high enough.

		<description><![CDATA[As a remote landlord, I cannot praise Parkers enough. Having had a number of issues with my property since vacating, the agents that I have dealt with (Ben & Damien) could not do enough for me, including taking over the management of the remaining few issues with the property so I did not have to keep driving the 160 mile round trip to supervise various tradesmen to enable the property to let. 

For costs that were quoted to me (for example photos/ EPC/ Gas safe etc) I was keen to see if I could get a cheaper quote elsewhere, they were perfectly happy to let me do so and did not apply pressure sales tactics to go with 'their' supplier. 

At one point there was a serious issue with the alarm last thing on a Friday, Parkers completely took over the problem for me, sourcing someone to fix the issue in no time, giving me a quote that was actually cheaper than any of the quotes I had been given as I desperately rang around (and was preparing to jump into the car for a 3 hour journey through peak traffic...). 

Letting a property from a distance is stressful, but I feel very assured at the level of professionalism shown. I was genuinely surprised at the willingness to deliver over and above, even on a fully managed service. Keep it up Parkers! :-)<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

I'm already recommending them to friends who are thinking of selling their properties. 

From the initial valuation (which Ben did - had 4 prospective agents come round and they stood out as the ones to use in my mind because of the overall package rather than fees alone), through to organising all the viewings and showing people round (which James did - keeping me up to date throughout) right through to progressing the sale and keeping on top of things (with Damien did - and I found him much more helpful/knowledgeable and on the ball than my solicitors) I found the whole team all helpful and I'm very pleased with the service I received.

Even after losing the original potential buyer (the only painful part of the whole process - but that was down to a problem investor/time waster more than any fault of Parkers), the property went straight back on the market and sold to the first person to be shown round for more money - brilliant.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

Bad points - we had a lot of viewings from people that seemed to know little or nothing about the house, which felt like a bit of a waste of time sometimes and there were some initial inaccuracies with the floor plan/brochure.

		<description><![CDATA[I put my house on the market with the Reading branch of Parkers in June 2009. After an horrific buying experience through Romans (seriously, don't touch them with a 60' pole), I asked 3 agents to value our property (Parkers, Haslams and Patrick Williams who we were buying through), and Parkers were by far the most knowledgeable about the area and had several similar properties sold within the recent past in the area.

The agents that I dealt with were Ben (who valued the house), James who organised lots of viewings, and Damien who handled the sale.

Their rates were competitive and in line with the rest of the market. What made me go with Parkers is that I found them to NOT be the stereotypical, shiny-suited, large tie-knotted, hair-gelled (Foxtons, I'm looking at you!) "Estate Agent". I found them to be honest, and open about their services, and managed my expectations accordingly.

I received lots of viewings, with a lot of interest in the property from the outset. I worked with them to improve how the property was presented on www.rightmove.com. The only negative I can think of was that the first set of photographs didn't do the rooms justice, and after I had experimented and taken some from different angles, the online listings looked a lot better!

I found the representatives who showed people around the property were knowledgeable about this property and also were able to draw viewers' attention to particular details that were not present in other similar properties that Parkers were marketing. They were always polite, well turned out, and not late (sometimes early)!

I would definitely recommend them as they were friendly, honest, kept in regular contact, and managed to sell the property for a very reasonable price, which was exactly what they had valued it as.

Hope this helps someone.<br />This person would use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

They promised the world and did nothing.......not even the basics.

From going to market with them they applied for my HIP the week after they told me they had.

Produced a draft brochure with the spelling of a five year old and even after I corrected included typos on the final version.

Took 3 weeks after HIPs was completed to get a for sale board up and this was only after we chased and chased for one

And the worst was after no interest I tested them.  I set up 2x email accounts and sent 1x direct enquiry and 1x enquiry via rightmove.  Both enquiries were submitted on a Saturday morning.  One requested a viewing the same weekend for a prospective cash buyer.  NO RESPONSE UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  even then the response was so amateurish it was unreal.  On receiving the response from the viewing request I replied from the e-mail address stating to late.

Now this is where it gets to the part that astounded me.  I called the agent and asked if there had been any progress, to be informed that they had been discussing with a buyer, wanting to view but needing to confirm a date.  a bit more quizzing and the details were evident it was my e-mail enquiry.  I was told they had spoken to the person making the enquiry, I probed and asked a few leading questions, eventually asking directly if the enquiry was from the e-mail address I used - it was.

Needless to say I cancelled my contract that evening and moved to an agent who actually got my house online, advertised on all major sites, with a for sale board within 24 hours.  Since then we have had over 20 viewings in 1 month and are close to a sale.

Be warned there are some good estate agents out there - we have now found one - but beware there are some lazy sods who think its license to print money and that their customers are to dumb or lazy to do anything about it.

My advice would be test or get some friends to test the agent before and after selection to make sure they are doing what they agreed and are representing your interest not just waiting for your commission cheque.

Parkers - in my opinion untrustworthy and I would avoid like the plague.<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Parkers Lettings are the perfect embodiment of every stereotype about estate agents. (All the bad ones. None of the good ones).

All they care about is money, money, money.

They don't return phone calls and there is no follow-up at all. 

Most surprising of all is that they are just downright rude, arrogant and their '<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I would not recommend this agent to anyone. We had our house up for both sales and lettings and the service we received was non-existant. I am convinced the agent made up viewings just to keep us happy, the agent never called us to give feedback, we had to do all the chasing. When we requested feeback we were told either (a) No-one turned up or (b) they liked the property but want to continue viewing others. The response never changed. One half of the sales team (barely out of short trousers) did not have the first clue about customer service. He was rude and obnoxious and treated us as if we were a burden! Ths agent has wasted a great deal of our time, I would never use them again.<br />This person would not use Parkers Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>
