This is a long review but please read. My mother's bungalow of non standard construction needed to be sold to a cash buyer. I asked three local agents to come and see the property. Jeanette Churchill from Howards in Long Stratton stood out with her knowledge, professionalism and above all enthusiasm. She suggested an Open Day, which went extremely well. The bunglow sold from that event and it has been plain sailing all the way through. She kept me in touch with how things were progressing along with her able assistant, Cheyenne. I thoroughly recommend this team to you all

I had quite a specific search criteria and Janette went above and beyond to find a fantastic house that works really well for me and my family. Hayley then proactively managed the purchase process, coordinating the work of the solicitors and keeping me regularly informed. A great team and pleasure to deal with.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

My partner and I viewed the property by appointment with Janette Churchill. Janette was extremely positive about the property emphasising that it would suit us very well. It was also apparent that Janette had dressed the property to show it at its best. Items of soft furnishings had been added clearly showing living areas and how they could work for us. Janette’s warm personality made it apparent that nothing was too much trouble. An excellent experience.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Janette has been brilliant from start to finish and the catalyst for a very quick and successful sale. We had a choice of estate agents but Janette stood out as being knowledgeable of the area and potential buyers who would be interested. She managed the sale with great support from her colleagues at Head office efficiently and with friendliness and professionalism. Thanks so much!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

As potential house buyers, my husband and I have been looking for some time for the perfect property. Up until we met Janette from Howard's, we had experienced some of the most appalling estate agents on the planet - ignorant, nonchalant, blase, devoid of knowledge and totally lacking in professionalism. This was NOT the case with Howard's. They were professional, knowledgeable and friendly and had clearly gone out of their way to ensure the property was presented in the best possible light. If you want to sell your house, I would recommend them.PositiveProfessionalism

I'm writing this review on behalf of my elderly mother, the sale of whose bungalow we entrusted to Howards. Within a day, we were paid a personal visit by Janette, who ran the entire sales campaign and gave us a hugely positive feeling about expectations and how the sales process would proceed. As mum was not in the best of health, Jannette focused on an Open Day approach so that all potential purchasers could see the property on the same day, with enough time between them to feel comfortable with the viewing, and also keeping mum away from the strain of having strangers in her home. Between the purchasers a bidding war began, pushing up the sale price to almost 10% more than the asking price. It also helped us decide on the right buyer for mum's home. Janette came in a day early to prepare the place to look at its best, and all progress was conducted through phone calls and a WhatsApp group we had set up, so we were always well informed. I don't think it could have gone any easier, and I would not hesitate to recommend Howards in future to anyone who would like to benefit from a similarly stress-free sales experience.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We were very impressed with all aspects of our house purchase. From the initial presentation, where we felt Janette went the extra mile, to the final completion of our purchase during which time Hayley guided us and kept us fully aware of what was happening, with back up from Cheyenne. They were always available to answer any queries, were friendly and cheerful and did a wonderful job! We would definitely recommend them for their professionalism and helpfulness.

We started our journey in the hunt of a new property & relocation from Essex, and on finding a property that we fell in love with from the first viewing with Janette just before Christmas. It was not a easy process our end on sale of property, but both Janette and Cheyenne worked non stop in supporting our purchase and managing the communications though out, and on 14th June 2022 our dream come true and we finally moved in. Well done Cheyenne & Janette for all you help and support.

Janette Churchill was amazing in helping us sell our house initially. Great advice given and we loved the ‘open day’ approach. She even came round and witnessed us signing our paperwork! Twice! We have had a long drawn out process to get to exchange which took 7 months. Hayley Burton-Pye was a super star in constantly chasing solicitors both sides and liaising with the other Estate Agent to help us get there. Both Janette and Hayley are dedicated, hard working people and really care about their clients. I can’t thank them enough. 😀PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Good estate agents are particularly rare to find. I always recommend going on a few viewings to get a feel for the company and the sellers. I've had some shocking viewings by people who clearly don't have any interest in the job or the property they are selling! Thankfully this isn't the case with Janette and her team, they are just so passionate about what they do and love the process of selling houses. The time and detail they took to fully understand the houses potential and the important aspects to promote was exceptional. We have also been very impressed with the pre sale interaction, house viewing strategies and sale negotiation skills. We're delighted with the outcome of our sale.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
