We had previously had our property on the market with another Estate Agent but it had failed to sell. We approached John German who gave us good marketing advice, which we followed, and within two weeks we had had two viewings and two offers. We accepted one and the sale proceeded smoothly with John German keeping us informed at all stages. They answered any queries we had promptly. We would certainly use then again if the need arose.

We had a number of different estate agents turn up to value our house and John German were the most prepared and professional when they arrived. The listing and the pictures were great and they were pretty active in advertising it across numerous sites. The only criticism I have is they didn’t offer to host house viewings for us by default - we had to ask for it. There were several visits where I had to come home from work to accommodate before this was sorted. Also they lost our house keys, which (for an estate agent) is kind of a biggy. They didn’t have details about our address on the keys and they paid for another set to be cut but it did concern us. They stuck with us through a couple of sales that fell through and were always happy to chat through things over the phone.
