GoogleI would 100% recommend Balgores. With a few set backs along the way whilst selling our house. The team were always friendly, professional and persistent to help sell our house during this tough economic time. Many Thanks to all of the team in particular Tom, Marie, Paul, Clive and Lou who I had many dealings with.

GoogleThanks Michael, it’s been a pleasure to work with you. Always answering my calls promptly and politely. Very patient. I moved over as the last company that was looking after my properties hadn't provide me with the level of service I would have liked. I discuss this with Michael and he put my mind at peace. I did think a lot of what he said was a sales pitch, but it wasn’t and was the truth. Thanks again.
