Janette arranged to show us around the property at our convenience and was knowledgeable and informative. She gave us a friendly experience and was helpful when we decided to purchase the property. Once we had the offer agreed Hayley kept us up to date on what was going on throughout the process so we were never left in the dark. Very happy with the service we received from Howards estate agents.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

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

I had to sell my father’s retirement property in Gorleston after he went into a care home. Stuart, the senior branch manager advised at a good asking price and the property sold rapidly. We agreed a competitive price for the agent’s fee which I am pleased with.
