Joe has been helping me,
Joe has been helping me, reassuring me and looking after my property for nearly four years with great professionalism but also a relaxed friendliness which has been so very welcome when stepping into the uncharted territory of becoming a landlord. Even though I live abroad, I feel confident my property is being well looked after and Joe is always my first port of call if I do have any concerns.
5/5
We really couldn't fault the
We really couldn't fault the service we received from Davis Tate in connection with selling our home in Twyford. The staff were friendly and professional, the initial advice was good and the photos for the sales details looked great, particularly compared to those we had seen for other properties produced by other local Agents. Davis Tate managed the open house for us and found us an ideal buyer with an offer which exceeded our expectations. As is often the case there were a few minor challenges during the transaction but Amy kept in touch with us, returned calls etc and managed the chain through to completion to everyone's satisfaction. Therefore we would totally recommend this agent.

I've known Joe Hodgkins first
I've known Joe Hodgkins first when I was a tenant, and when I became a landlord later he was my first choice for letting agent. Joe is professional, expert, a natural problem-solver, easy to work with and highly dependable. Strongly recommended.
5/5
I've dealt with Joe for over
I've dealt with Joe for over 6 years now - firstly with Yates, and now with Davis Tate. I've always found him professional, committed, and very easy to deal with. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a lettings agent.

Joe is very personable and it is a pleasure to deal with him. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the market and all the new legislation. I look forward to working with him again

Renting can be challenging.
Renting can be challenging. But where other estate agents just see problems, Joe has been extremely supportive in working with us and the landlord to get the best possible result for everybody. He understood our tight timescales and responded to them. It's been refreshing to deal with a professional who could apply his market experience to help us rent a property.
5/5
The team at Davies Tate have
The team at Davies Tate have been incredible helpful and it always felt like I was a priority. They responded to all of my communications in a timely manner and were proactive in keeping me informed in the progress of my move. Thanks to all the team. Simon

We previously used Yates for
We previously used Yates for our rental properties until they were taken over by Davis Tate. Thankfully Joe moved over too. Joe is fantastic, keeps us informed throughout the advertising, viewing and letting process. Had a couple of hiccups when Joe wasn't involved only because the others work slightly different so have requested Joe deals with our properties in future!
5/5
Joe always interacts well
Joe always interacts well with clients and never makes them feel anything other than valuable persons. Our properties are in safe hands when overseen by Joe.

Joe was very knowledgeable
Joe was very knowledgeable about the property. He was professional, friendly and available to answer any questions we had when they arose.
5/5
Joe was really helpful in my
Joe was really helpful in my search for a place to rent. He was very knowledgeable about the property during the viewing and also provided lots of details about the area since I am not local - this really helped me to be able to picture living there more easily. Then, when it came to filling out the application form, Joe was on hand since he understood that I hadn't rented before and so wasn't at all familiar with the procedures. He has made this rather stressful situation much easier and I'd recommend him highly for his professionalism and friendliness.
5/5

Very impressed with Davis-Tate. They were very helpful when showing me around, then Josh arranged for an extra viewing so I could measure up furniture, and has kept me informed throughout the process of moving in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Geraldine sold us our house 4
Geraldine sold us our house 4 years ago so when we decided to move we didn't even have to think of what estate agent to use as we went straight back to Geraldine. On this occasion when the first buyer pulled out she preempted it due to her experience and found us another buyer within days. She is honest and trustworthy which I cannot say for some other local estate agents. Geraldine has made the stressful business or moving less stressful and we are much appreciated. Also Amy and Jenny have been great and supportive and always happy and smiling when I ring up or visit the branch. Thank you.

I can't sing Lee's praises highly enough; thank-you Lee!
The most caring, helpful & patient Estate Agent I have ever met: Some words to describe Lee: Kind. Conscientious. Genuine. Full of integrity. Honest. Open. Transparent. Affable. Patient. Trustworthy. Diligent. I honestly don’t know where to start with this review as it is hard to articulate my gratitude to Lee for all his efforts, or to adequately do justice in describing the 5*/A* service he provides. In the past, I have been accused of being naive, because I always think the best of people and am then often let down/left disappointed later on. This was not the case with Lee; he restored my faith in the Service Industry and is living proof that there are still people in existence for whom the client and their needs come first, work does not finish at 5PM and that if there is a problem that needs to be resolved, immediately solve it yourself if you can, even if it isn’t your responsibility. I had a dream … a certain type of house on a particular road with certain features. I found that house and was sure it was out of my reach, but then I met Lee and I dared to hope that my long-held wish could actually become reality. Then, much like a Disney production, Lee genuinely worked magic … and voila – I’m living my dream. Lee has a heart of gold and nothing is too much trouble for him. Available practically 24/7, even when on holiday, he’s like a wise Father that holds your hand along an uncertain road, patiently absorbing and coping with your panics/worries/stresses, gently allaying your fears and working tirelessly to ensure your wants and needs are met. I always enjoyed speaking with him and remained confident and secure in the knowledge that he understood my needs perfectly, that he was acting in my best interests and that he wouldn’t let me down. I was really impressed with Lee from the outset. Despite the short notice first thing on a Saturday morning (I came across my dream house the night before) and having a full schedule of viewings, he was sensitive to my pleading and somehow squeezed me in. I am certain that any other Agent would have turned me away and I would have missed out for sure, but Lee massively put himself out to accommodate my last minute call. I fell in love with the house straight away and as any lady will understand, I was desperate to have the house at any cost. That said, I knew I would be up against stiff competition and as a first time buyer without a Mortgage or Solicitor in place, it was going to take someone very special to pull this off for me. Going only on my word and his gut, Lee sprang into action and to cut this long story short, he put me in touch with like-minded people to help me and despite the inevitable twists and turns, ups and downs, delays and surprises, Lee was with me every step of the way and got me that house. All this effort when he could have sold the house one hundred times over and I was only a prospective buyer! I have no idea how he handles the emotional rollercoasters that seem to be a mandatory part of purchasing property, but he acts with true professionalism. Since the business is his own, you get a first class service which I very much doubt you could find anywhere else. I can never thank Lee properly for everything he has done for me, and I genuinely feel that I will always be in his debt. Therefore, my hope is that this review serves as a small token of thanks, that many people will read it and get to experience first-hand Lee’s truly exceptional service for themselves; you are guaranteed to be treated as a human being, not a number or a £ sign, a quality that is becoming increasingly scarce. If you are a buyer, Lee’s service of bringing the keys to your new home to you (as opposed to having to go to his office) is a lovely touch. Thank-you multiplied by infinity Lee!
Just the most awesome review, thank you Helen. However it has to be said that you are incredibly kind and caring, often putting the thoughts of others before your own. Thanks again and take care. Best wishes

Lee did all he could to make sure my Mother purchased the property she wanted.
In addition to his assistance we also had the benefit of Davis Tate Reading office selling her house. Davis Tate were really professional but with a personal care unusual in the property business.
Hi Mr P, Thanks for your kind review. I am glad we managed to make everything come together for your mum and appreciated you placing your trust in Davis Tate..I look forward to handing over the keys soon. Best wishes.

Absolutely amazing and professional service
Agent have been very friendly and professional whilst showing us the property and explaining things throughout the deal. He always kept us updates of whats going to happen next and answered all our questions throughout. the help I received so far has been exceptionally very very good. Thanks so much Lee. Regards, Deep
Hi Mr S, Thank for your kind words. It was a pleasure to help you and glad everything went smoothly. It is a lovely property so hope you are happy there. Best wishes
5/5
Very thorough, supportive and helpful - would recommend
Lee at Davis Tate was recommended to me by 2 separate friends who had recently moved. He was very supportive and on the ball chasing both up and down the chain, checking the viability of our buyer and ensuring communication was always kept open. He was also very good at explaining what needed to be done at various stages in the process and at all times chased and kept us informed. Without him the process would have been much slower He was far more professional and knowledgeable than our sellers agent and prevented a few potential derailings that could have been caused by the other agents ineptitude. For a smooth and informed sale, I would recommend using Lee - he was at all times helpful and professional and helped to make a stressful time (moving in general) more manageable.
Ah, thanks for such a fab review! It was a pleasure to act for you and delighted you were pleased with our service. Hope you enjoy your change of lifestyle, I am very jealous!

Lee succeeded where others had failed. He knows the market and gets to know his clients and helps not only with sale but is always on lookout for a suitable purchase property as well. At the end ensures whole chain is working to a successful conclusion. A pleasure to deal with.
