    I recently used Hawkins estate Agents to sell a property in Robert Road, and the whole process was totally hassle free. I was very impressed with the professional way in which they handled the sale, making the process stress free from start to finish. Everything went very smoothly.

    After what seemed to be a fairly easy sale, at 8 weeks it all went wrong. At this point we had put an offer on another house. We were desperate not to lose this house, so we asked what were our options?, John said had people on his books that bought houses quickly and with a cash sale. Just what we needed, the house was viewed by a buyer and the next day they made an offer. We accepted and within 1week we had exchanged and expect to complete within the next 5 days. Can\'t thank the staff at Hawkins in Coventry enough. Many thanks from myself and my family.

    This was kind, pro-active, helpful service from start to finish. I didn\'t have to do any chasing or nagging, and felt very much that Hawkins were on my side. They managed all my queries with courtesy and patience, and made helpful suggestions that really did help. I have no qualms in recommending them.

    Suzanne worked extremely hard to find suitable tenants for our two maisonettes in a timely manner. She is always friendly and approachable so that we have felt happy to contact her with any queries, no matter how small. We have just moved our second maisonette over to Hawkins as we felt very happy with how they have managed our other property. We particularly liked that Hawkins send us a text to inform us whenever there is to be a viewing on our property and that they contacted us after each viewing to discuss how it went. It helped us to feel informed. This week we have had three viewings, resulting in all every prospective tenant wanting to rent our property. We feel that this is testament to Suzanne’s positive and friendly manner making tenants feel confident to use Hawkins as an agency and therefore interested in renting our property. Overall we have been very happy since using Hawkins as rental agency for our properties and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

    My wife and I originally used Hawkins back in 2004 and were very pleased then. We decided to use them again when we were on the market again in 2012 - 3. We were pleased that once again, the Hawkins team (John Little, Janet Godfrey, Dan) had lost none of their touch. In a difficult market the house was sold in three months. At all times we were kept fully informed with regular feedback via our mobile phone. Completion went through with no hassle at all. Well done.

    We sold our property with Hawkins within 2 weeks of it going on the market! Dan came round to value the property and made us feel very confident that it would indeed sell. After that our contact at Hawkins was with Janet. She was absolutely brilliant!!! She was always there on the end of the phone when we needed help and advice and we felt like we were dealing with an old friend not just someone who worked in an estate agents. Janet kept us informed on progress once we had sold and even went as far as collecting our keys from the agents we bought off for us so we only had to go to one agent to drop keys off and pick our new ones up on moving day! That is what I call service! Thank you so much Hawkins (especially Janet). We are now happily renovating our new home and we certainly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of selling their property.

    I have used Hawkins for the past 8 years to rent out our flats. They have acted in an efficient and professional manner in all aspects of the relationship. Inspections and reports on the property status are issued on a regular basis. Problems are reported but corrective action is not action until we have given authority. Good all-round service.

    I would like to say that my dealings with Hawkins Estate Agents in Coventry has been an extremely pleasurable experience. My first contact there was Daniel who showed me around a property that I subsequently had an offer accepted on. I felt that enough time had been allocated for me to view the property and Daniel was both helpful and informative in answering any questions that I raised with him. My second contact was Janet who initially put forward my offer to the vendor and once accepted helped me tremendously at every stage of the proceedings. She liased with the solicitors and other estate agents in the chain and because of her commitment I was able to exchange contracts in less than 3 weeks without feeling in the least bit stressed. She retained a sense of humour throughout and nothing was too much trouble. Customer service is alive and kicking at Hawkins, Coventry! A big thank you to all the team and especially Janet.

    From John\'s initial visit to value my property to the final telephone call to confirm completion, the whole process was dealt with in a friendly, professional and very efficient manner. I was kept completely up to date at every stage by Dan, Janet or Maria by phone. I do not hesitate to recommmend Hawkins to anyone considering a house sale. They also recommended a very good Solicitor who had the same professional approach and the whole transaction took little over 3 months to completion.

They were polite caring and helpful at all times. The went out of their way to make the process run smoothly. They keep me informed the whole way through which put my mind at ease. They all seemed genuinely happy for me the day I picked up my keys. I would not hesitate to use them in the future

    Right from the start we were kept informed. We were sent proofs of advertising literature, informed of who to ring if we had any queries on progress of sales. Even sent a detailed chart of viewings and comments made by prospective buyers. We had had the property up for sale with another Estate agent for over 12 months and the only time we heard from them was when we joined and when we left so this was a breath of fresh air. All through the selling progress Janet kept us informed and prompted us to chase our solicitor to ensure the sale progressed to a successful conclusion. Even though she was going on holiday the next day she took the time to let us know contracts had been exchanged and the sale had gone through. We would definitely recommend this company to any prospective seller. We had to sell the property in order to finance our mothers nursing care bills. Hawkins made it possible and Janet added the TLC. Thank you.

    This was our first house bought in 1989 and loved every minute of our life there. After 22 years the family needed more space hence, reluctantly we decided to put the house for sale and purchased larger property. At the same time we planned to go on holiday but were concerned time it would take to sell our house. We called John Little and the property was on sale before we left for Xmas holiday 2011. Within days Hawkins text us for potential buyer interested in our property, and by the end of March 2012 we exchanged contract. We were fortunate for using a highly qualified Estate agents and the team did best to help us sale the house. We will really miss the house, but thanks to Janet for the hard work in securing the sale.

    After trailing around all the estate agents in Coventry which belive me can be a tiring process when all you seem to be greeted with is unhelpful people staring back at you as if they wished you had never interrupted them I felt very disheartened about what started as an exciting but with it nervous journey , I decided to keep going and am glad I did. Once I came across Maria at Hawkins she immediately greeted me with a smile and made me feel entirely welcome. After sitting with Maria for some time whilst she found out exactly what I was looking for and my full situation she booked me in... (read more

    We had been on another agents books for a period of six months to let our property.. Although we had a number of possible clients no one took up the option to rent the property. We repeatedly requested feed back or even a phone call, but had no cooperation. Within ten days of being on Hawkins books we received three positive offers.This was due mainly to Susanne working very hard at her job.She repeatedly rang us (even from her home) to keep us up to speed with developments and after two weeks we have a tenant ready to move in this week. Nothing was too much trouble for her. So we thank Susanne and all the staff at Hawkins for their very professional conduct and great customer care attitude. Thanks to staff/ team work in Coventry Nuneaton and Rugby.

    Great service. First used Hawkins a couple of years ago to buy my first home. Was very pleased with how they handled things so used their Coventry office late 2011 to sell. Can report the sale and move was a success and I've already thanked John, Janet and the team. Professional and friendly from start to finish...got a bit nervewracking towards the end but they did everything to get the sale through.....even doing what the other agents in the chain should have done. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Not sure what happened to the previous reviewer....they all seemed pleasant and professional enough to me. can't say I noticed what clothes they were wearing...I was more interested in the house sale. Thanks again, I've already suggested someone I work with gives you a call!!!

    All the team were excellent. Always prompt with return of phone calls, kept myself very well informed, all along the selling process. I will certainly use the Coventry branch of Hawkins again, and would be happy to recommend to friends. For me, the selling process was made as pain and stress free as possible.
