I was impressed with the speedy Darwoods found us a replacement tenant and in their efficiency in getting the tenant into the property.
I was also happy how they kept me informed at each step from marketing to signing.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Molly has been very friendly and helpful with regards to the management of our property. It makes me feel confident that if any issues arise during our time here she'll do her best to resolve them. Me and my husband have been very unimpressed with the service we received from Norman. He seemed disengaged and superior at our first meeting, didn't discuss the property as we went round etc which was in stark contrast to the service I had received from other agents such as Abbey Estates who were friendly, chatty and helpful with questions etc. We have come to the decision that as delightful as Molly has been we will not use Darwoods for future services when we look to buy.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Make the customer feel valued - moving is a stressful time and a little friendliness would be appreciated. If you charge a large Admin Fee, make sure you do all the admin, not leave it to the customer.
