GoogleHolly Jackson provided very conscientious and professional service in very challenging circumstances for us. She was trustworthy, communicated effectively and displayed the type of old fashioned personal service not always present in society.PositiveProfessionalism
Thank you Mat. Holly most definitely provides an attentive, personal service so it's really nice to hear that you felt supported by her.

GoogleElla was really helpful when we were going through the process of renting our home. No question was too small and she was quick to respond to emails or phone calls. It made the process really easy for us. 🙂PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you Arabel for taking the time to leave Ella and the Absolute team a positive review, it means a lot to us.

GoogleDisclaimer: these views are my own and not at all stipulated by the fact they have a spare key and swore they'd confiscate my kitchen appliances if I do not impress - this is not a bribe. Holly is awesome, gets sh*t done, always available when needed, went above and beyond to address my demands while up in Scotland, shes quite the charmer. Holly, you're the best, forever in your debt Chelsea, i speak with on occasion - she's pretty cool too In all honesty, I've been dealing with this team for around 20 months now, never had a problem at all, great bunch of people, cracking team, in fact, they're so friendly I cannot wait to visit and stand awkwardly at the reception desk when I'm due more electric cards. Cheers guysPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Thank you Alfie! This is definitely one of the most unique reviews we have ever received but we are thrilled to hear how happy you have been with our service! Please don't feel awkward when you come into the office, the team are always happy to chat :)

GoogleJust got the keys to our first house through absolute, and they have been nothing but amazing! Emily was the one who showed us around the house on our viewing and she was so lovely and professional answering any questions we had! Then she kept us updated through the whole process, putting our minds at rest and always checking in on us which really helps at a super stressful time like buying a house! And then picking up the keys with also the cutest presents to go with them! Thank you so much Emily, and everyone from absolute for being the best estate agents we could of asked for! 🤍 xxxPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Thank you Chloe! We hope you are now settling into your new home well.

GoogleThe property I was selling was a tricky one but Absolute were amazing. They were really proactive in finding potential buyers.

GoogleI have just moved into a new flat through Absolute Sales and Lettings. The whole process has been amazing! Ella Simpson has been incredible, from showing me around the flat on the first day, to handing me the keys. She has been super helpful, especially to someone that has not rented before. She was professional and efficient with communication and put me at ease with the whole process, making my move as stress free as possible. Thank you Ella, you are amazing at what you do!
Thanks Bethany for this incredibly kind review! It's without doubt that renting a property for the first time can at first seem quite daunting and it's our job to make sure that this process is as pain-free as possible for you. Ella is a credit to our team and we are so pleased that she made your renting experience efficient and positive. We hope that you are really happy in your new home!

FacebookThe team at the Shaldon office, most especially Mia did an amazing job, above and beyond, on our purchase. It was similarly very positive with our sale via Peter at the Dawlish office. Previously, we found a larger local estate agent unbelievably poor, with a couldn't be bothered attitude, and if they thought that we weren't serious buyers/sellers they couldn't have been further from the truth. With the team effort at Absolute, we had a buyer in 10-days, allowing us to formalise our purchase offer soon afterwards. If you are looking for a professional, personalised service then we would strongly recommend speaking to these people.
Professional and efficient forex broker. I never had any issues with withdrawals as well as services. They are always accommodating and helpful. Great trading signals from them. I'm pleased with the overall performance of Mrs Elizabeth Bays' service. I… See more

GoogleElla Simpson has helped me to find an outstanding apartment in a record time. She understood my needs very well, so she focused me into the right viewings, thus saving my time. She has been also extremely flexible and agile, accomodating to my complex work schedule constraints, quickly organizing viewings when I was available, and even replying e-mails on Sunday! On top of all this, she is very friendly, and she keeps being supportive after the move-in. It has been a pleasure dealing with her.
Thank you so much for this positive review.

GoogleElla handled our move and could not have done more for us, always answered our enquries quickly and efficently and made us feel very safe. When we picked up the keys the Paignton office were lovely and we got a gift box which we weren't expecting. All in all a lovely experience and we hope this will continue in the future.
Many thanks Ryan! It's great to hear that Ella went above and beyond for you - we hope that you are settling in well to your new home!

GoogleHolly from the Paignton office was exceptional. Helped secure us a new home for our family in what was a very stressful time. She couldn’t have been more helpful, always replied promptly and went way beyond what we have experienced with other letting companies. I would recommend Absolute Lettings 100% Thanks Holly!

GoogleI have purchased and sold a property though absolute and can’t speak highly enough of the team there. The sale progressor Kim has helped me with both a purchase and a sale and has been absolutely fantastic.
Thank you Jack! It's always nice to hear such a positive testimonial from someone who has been on both sides of the process as both a vendor and a buyer. We are really pleased that you have been impressed by our Torquay team and in particular our sales progressor, Kim - they are without doubt a fantastic and highly efficient team!

GoogleAbsolute were absolutely amazing! I can't fault the support they gave me through the sale of my property. Due to being messed around with my purchase I had to find a buyer 3 times within the year - Absolute gave the best advice at every step and nothing was too much trouble. Each time they were able to find a new buyer within days. Special thanks has to go to Lewis who was so patient and kind, I knew I could call him with any question and it would be handled professionally and in my best interest. That being said, everyone I spoke to in Brixham office were professional, polite and extremely helpful. I would recommend Absolute to anyone looking to sell their property in the bay, they were brilliant.
Thanks for the positive feedback Nicola. We take immense pride in our professionalism and ability to offer the best advice so it is great to hear that you were impressed with our sales service and would recommend us.

GoogleAs a landlord who had experienced issues with previous tenants I looked in to all local management companies and decided to go with absolute- I am so glad I did! Sam who looks after our properties within the Brixham office is a 5* property manager, any issues have been dealt with quickly, efficiently and without drama. It is difficult to find a company you can completley trust but Absolute has smashed it, i can relax knowing that not only us but our tenants are looked after with the upmost professionalism. I can't recommend this company enough.
Thank you Karmen! Sam is a credit to our team and we are so pleased that you have been impressed with our lettings service.

FacebookAs a busy restaurant owner , I don’t have the time to think about all the legislation that goes into looking after the rental properties , so I rely on Absolute , to make sure this is all taken care of . They remind me , when certificates etc , need replacing or when problems arise , and then together we action them .
Professional and efficient forex broker. I never had any issues with withdrawals as well as services. They are always accommodating and helpful. Great trading signals from them.

GoogleWe recently moved into a property let by Absolute after our old landlord wanted to sell up. We dealt with Holly Jackson and from viewing to picking up the keys, our experience was seamless and stress-free. What could have been a stressful experience, moving with a small child and working full time, was made as easy as it could possibly be and we are really pleased about that. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Thank you Emma!
