I started estate agency in 1987, having worked for Simpson and Partners since 1998, I have progressed to Area Manager. Since opening our first office, we now have a network of 10 offices. I currently work in the Burton Latimer office, which opened in 2001. We have been consistently the number one selling agent in Burton Latimer for now nearly 17 years. The fact is we have nearly 50% of the sales agreed in the town. The market in our area is very buoyant and also very competitive, with a short ...

The report above is not entirely accurate. These clients were repeatedly rude to our staff members. Updates were give but were 'unacceptable' to the buyers. Our staff will not tolerate abusive language. These clients had offered on a house thorough us 2 weeks ago, which was subsequently removed off of the market. The buyers then made contact with other offices and used a false name to try to view other properties?!? We were in no way rude, we simply pointed out the facts and informed them that ...

My wife and I had sold in London earlier in the year and have been looking to get out in to the Cambridgeshire villages. We did the usual and registered with every estate agent we found on 'rightmove' After an extensive search on the villages we settled for Great Staughton which was convenient for the mainline to London from St Neots. At the time we had given some of the local estate agents that covered that area our specifications. Frustratingly so as with many estate agents they don't ...
