Evans & Partridge

Having had a poor experience with a big name chain (their draft brochure was atrocious!), we contacted Evans & Partridge, since they were local. We met Jamie, liked him, felt he appreciated our home, liked the fact he was honest about a few things, and waited for the valuation. When he came back with a price above 3 much larger agents, we were concerned he might be quoting a price above market rate to win our business. However, since we were impressed with Jamie, felt he had integrity and very much believed we could work WITH him, we decided to go with E&P and managed our expectations regarding price. Next came the brochure which a) was superb and very carefully put together and b) was free (when we'd already paid several hundred to the previous agents who we'd sacked). Given it was by then October, we informally agreed to defer marketing the property until spring 2019, but were persuaded by Jamie to let a few people around who he already had on his books searching. 4 couples came round in 3 weeks, 2 of whom made full price offers, 1 of which was a cash buyer!! The buyers made a second visit, expressed strong interest in a few bits of our furniture and furnishings, which Jamie then negotiated a bit more for, so we ended up with even more than the asking price and, as I said before, materially above what the other agents had quoted. We ended up with great buyers (who exchanged and completed without drama), a really good price, a speedy deal and we just could not speak any more highly about either Jamie or his estate agency. It may be a one shop operation, but their attention to detail and communication was near faultless. Absolutely terrific and we'verecommended them to friends in the area if they ever come to sell.
