After enquiring about a property with Howards, I was in the most capable hands of Sophie. No detail or silly questions were ever too much. Iβd highly recommend. Thanks Sophie!

I've been a tenant at the same address with Howards for almost 5 years. Recently, I had a query which was efficiently attended to by Katie Richards, to whom I am really grateful for putting my mind at rest. Thank you, Katie!
Thank you for leaving a great review we really appreciate it, all the best for the future

We have been looking for a property for last 3 months; David Simmonds from Gorleston Howards Estate has been very helpful, working extra miles to show us the properties we would like to view as quick as possible. During the viewing moment as well, he never rushed us out but very patient and always came back with the answers for the queries we had about the properties. 5 stars for Mr Simmonds' help. Thin and Nigel
We are very happy to hear this and we hope to continue the level of service through out your property search and beyond

We recently purchased our property through Howard's in Gorleston. David was very quick and efficient when it came to arranging viewings and submitting our offer. Helen then helped keep things moving through the purchase process and kept us upto date on progress along the way. So thanks to you two and the rest of the team! We will no doubt be in touch again when looking for our next investment property!
Your very welcome Mr Mallet, we are very pleased that you are happy and we very much look forward to dealing with yourselves again in the future

For what we thought was going to be a long experience it wasn't. Our buyer was found the day we put it on the market and the sale went through quickly. Great photos by Amy and David kept us up to date throughout.
Thank you very much for your feedback on your experience with Howards Gorleston, we very pleased everything ran smoothly and swiftly

We met Stuart Lugo today with a view to either selling or renting our homes in Gorleston & Bradwell. Stuart arrived on time and we found him to be very friendly, easy going and very knowledgeable. He was informative and honest with his appraisals, with out being the slightest bit pushy. We also found that he was very straight forward and honest with his valuations. These were around the amounts we suspected but it was good to hear that we were on the right track and not way off the mark. He also offered advise and once again he wasn't pushy but just straight forward and I valued his comments. I would definately recommend Stuart and will be using his services again when we know in which direction we will be going in the rental/sales market.
Thank you so much Steve for taking the time to leave me a great review, it has been a pleasure helping you and If i can be of any assistance in the future i'd more than happy to help, all the best for now.

I have tried looking at properties with various other estate agents but none have compared to the extremely professional and experienced morgage advisor Nicole and fantastic sales negotiator David I've encountered at the Gorleston Howard's branch. All the staff were incredibly knowledgeable, patient and helpful, and ensured to always make me feel welcome and never overwhelmed. I couldn't be more grateful π
We are very to hear this and hope to continue this level of service again in the future

David at Howards makes you feel very welcome, and is extremely helpful. It honestly makes so much of a difference when you are feeling pretty stressed at the prospect of searching for a home, to have an estate agent that is so friendly, and knowledgeable. Makes you feel much more reassured about the whole process.
Thank you Ruth for the lovely review, we look forward to finding you the right property with best service and advice we can Speak to you very soon

Howardβs have been brilliant in all aspects regarding the purchase of our new house. I never felt as if I was a nuisance and they helped to answer all of my queries promptly and professionally. If I was ever to sell my home I would be calling Howardβs first. Thank you to Sophie, Amy and David and the rest of the team
Thank you so much for your kind words, Judith. It has been a pleasure assisting you with your purchase.

Thank you to Howards who have provided me and my husband with an exceptional service from the moment we called for a house valuation to listing the house. Stuart Lugo, who we have been in contact with has given us fair, imformative information and has been able to answer all of our questions. Staurt also took all of our photos which we were really happy with and has arrived promptly whenever we have met. All of this has been done without hassle, at our convinience, and in a very timely manner with excellent communication.
Thank you for your great review, most appreciated and happy to help you, very best wishes for the future

We sold our house through Howards in December 2022 and we were super happy with the whole process. They chased everything when it needed to be, kept on top of the process and regularly updated me with what was going on. From the beginning when we met with Aime, we were unsure on whether we actually wanted to sell, but her reassurance and advice on the whole process of selling and buying put us at ease, which in the end resulted in us getting more than we ever could have hoped for, and our dream home. Also wanted to mention David and Sophie in the Howards Gorleston office as they were my main point of contact for many phone calls and emails. Thank you Howards, we will always keep you in mind for any future moves.
Thank you very much for your review, Paige. We hope you have now settled into your new home. You know where we are if you need us in the future.

Howard's have been great from start to finish. Staff are always polite and friendly. If I have left messages my calls have always been returned. We are more than happy we chose them to sell our property. Would definitely recommend. I also have to add special thanks to Stuart Lugo who even came out to pick me up in his car when I needed to collect something for Howard's but had a broken ankle! I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you very much Jan for your kind review, we really appreciate it and it has been a pleasure helping you , all the best for the future
