GoogleVery unpleasant agent to deal with, unfortunately my experience of her was extremely manipulative and unkind. I definitely wouldn't recommend the company.
5/5
GoogleI have had two occasions to use John Minnis and found them very friendly efficient and competitive. I would recommend them to everyone who wish to sell their property. If I visited properties that were being sold by Minnis they did their utmost to accommodate my visits. They certainly come top of my list in the property market.

GoogleOver the years I have sold properties in Northern Ireland, Scotland and England and up until now I have had a very poor opinion of estate agents. However the service provide by John Minnis Comber branch was superb. From the outset they proved to be knowledgeable, proactive and approachable. They handled all aspects of the sale from advertising,hosting viewings and negotiating to liaising with solicitors in an efficient and professional manner and kept me fully informed on progress every step of the way. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Lorrie and the team at John Minnis Comber.

5/5
GoogleJohn Minnis Estate Agents were recommended to us and I have no hesitation in forwarding that recommendation to everyone. From the first phone call to the final sale, the service was everything we could have hoped for, polite, friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to help with any queries, Laurie and his team at the Comber Office kept us informed and aware at every stage of our sale, and kept acting on our behalf all the way through, chasing up anything to make sure the sale was as smooth and as prompt as it could be. You will be in safe hands with them.

GoogleI wouldn't recommend John Minnis. Found them to be rude and unhelpful over the phone when trying to view houses.

GoogleWe just rented our house via John Minnis agency. Initially all looked good but then, John Minnis contract electrician concluded that all electrical wiring are incorrect and require full house rewiring. This is for the house that we purchased from John Minnis just 5 years ago and all was up-to standard that time. After number of emails, electrician accepted to issue certificate based on fuse box and some sockets replacement. As he proceeded with the job he left mess behind him. The answer we received from John Minnis that this is normal....... Be warned and stay away. They're number of agents who could do a better customer service.

GoogleLike many others I decided to sell my property during the Pandemic when there was also a Stamp Duty holiday. It was hectic! There were many highs and lows in the process. Those in the office kept me informed and I must make special mention of Julie who always remained positive and hopeful. Her kind and caring voice on the other end of the phone, on more than one occasion, kept me from giving up!! Happily I am now living in a new bungalow and will always be grateful to John Minnis and Julie in particular for their care and professionalism.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
