Parkers provided me with an excellent service when I sold my house. Each week they rang me to tell me about the viewings on my property and the feedback I had recieved . I found these updates really proactive and it helped me keep connected with how the property was being marketed. When it came to selling the house Damien Glowacki worked really hard to keep the chain together and heading in the right direction. Overall I rate my experience with Parkers as excellent and I would recommend them to others.

allAgentsI found Parkers aftersales
I found Parkers aftersales service quite professional. In the 1.5 years we have lived in the property, we hardly faced any issues barring a couple of occassions when we had not water. But this was given due importance the situation was re-stored very quickly after a request was made to the office. I hope Parkers give me additional discount on administrative charges when I look for a property to let next time. Overall good service.
Couple of areas of improvements :
1) The adminstrative charges are exhorbitant (I cannot quite fathom being charged £400 for printing out documents, inventory checking and very less proactiveness from the sales staff) Only if this could be reduced to a more purse friendly amount.
2) Parkers did not allow any contact with the landlord, thereby introducing additional layer for any issues (although we did not face very many). But this should be more discretionary if tenants are well behaved - which was the case with us.

allAgentsWhat a great team at Parkers
What a great team at Parkers -I set the guys instructions that i needed to sell my property in a hurry as I needed to compleat in a property in Wales.Parkers valued the property straight way & gave me a few pointers on decor & colours for the house.I took on the advise & painted & carpeted the rooms needed.Parkers advertised the property while work was done & the day it was finished they sent round 5 viewers and the buyer was found with mortgage agreed & exchange was done in 4 weeks & compleated in 5 weeks.So a big thankyou to the team their who kept me informed all the way through.I would recomend Parkers reading to anyone looking to sell their property.

allAgentsI have been renting property
I have been renting property in Reading for over 10 years and have had my portfolio with Parkers for nearly all of that time. They are efficient at renting out the properties at good market rates with minimal empty periods. They give good advice, resolve disputes and give realistic market values. Many of the tennants have stayed for several years which I can only see as a good recomendation from there point of view and fast response to maintenance issues and realistic rental pricing...

allAgentsI have dealt with Parker's
I have dealt with Parker's Estate Agents for many years, and have always found them to be very helpful, cooperative and accommodating. Working as I do in the centre of Reading myself, I could pop in at any time, and they always were there on hand to calm my worries, and explain things I didn't understand.
I have had especially close contact with Damian, Ben,Amy and Mark, who have all gone out of their way to explain processes and I feel the service I received was excellent. I would certainly use them again. Thank you

allAgentsI had used Parkers Market
I had used Parkers Market Place in the past on three occasions and was delighted that the service level hadnt dropped. I have just made a purchase and the eperience was just the same. The appointment to view was made quickly and the agent was on time. They were informed about the property and any queries were answered promptly and accurately. The offer was conveyed to the seller and I was kept informed on a frequent basis of the sellers counter demands. The sale was agreed and although Parkers offered me extra services such as legal representation etc there was no pressure or pushy sales calls. I would definitely use them again...

allAgentsHaving sold many houses
Having sold many houses through various estate agents, all over the country too - I must take this opportunity of 'bigging up' the whole firm that I dealt with in the Reading Town Centre office.
My first experience with the estate agent was when one of their 'fliers' landed on my doorstep, not the first one I have to admit, however as they stated that they have genuine investor buyers looking for properties in my area I thought I would pop into the office to see what they were all about - was a Saturday afternoon and I am sorry but I cannot recall the young mans name who I spoke to but all went very well and I was very impressed, he made a booking for the valuer to call round on Monday afternoon and then this was when I met Craig Pearson - honestly I cannot praise the guy enough, experienced, knowlegable, friendly and proffessional - all rolled into one - now I am NOT the sort of person who writes reviews but credit where credit due - we agreed a price to sell my house at, agreed their terms - there and then and he busied away with his posh laser tape, describing the house as he went and also took excellent photographs - so much so that I was almost tempted to buy it myself!!!
I digress- within 48 hours Craig brought around the eventual buyer agreed to pay me almost the full price and all went through the solicitors and mortgage company within 3 weeks, yes 3 weeks - so quick in fact that I found myself needing to rent a small 1 bedroom apartment and guess what? Yes thats right Craig came to the rescue and organised a 6 month let where I am right now typing this actually.
All in all an excellent firm to deal with, I don't think I have ever needed to call them throughout the whole process except to pick up the keys for the rented place.
A job well done and I would definatley recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Keep up the good work Craig and all the team behind you.

allAgentsI have used the Lettings team
I have used the Lettings team at Parkers in Reading many times over the last 10 years. I have always found them to be fast and efficient and, even though I place my properties with a second letting agent too, it's invariably Parkers that find the tenants. Most recently they very quickly found me some excellent tenants for a property and the whole thing was smooth from start to finish. The team there really seem to know what they are doing and they also seem to have the hunger and will to make something happen. I would highly recommend them to Landlords.

allAgents"We signed up to Parkers to..."
We signed up to Parkers to sell our property after reading the reviews on this website. We were happy with all the initial organisation, however the pictures they took of the property were below average and not high quality and we ended up providing them with ones we took. I asked them to keep us informed with the statistics of how many on-line viewings we'd had, which I had to then chase them for each week. We've had 3 (apparent) viewings in the last 11 weeks and we have now moved to a new estate agent. I say apparent as I'm not even convinced they had people in when they say they did as nothing looked touched or moved and the feedback they gave (which I had to chase again) was always the same. Parkers just didn't seem bothered about selling our 1 bedroom flat - maybe it was below them?! I personally wouldn't recommend the Reading Branch, they were just too laid back and not pro-active enough!

Hi gemma We have kept you updated since you have been on the market with us and have given you the statistics on how many website hits your property had received. The property went on to the market at nearly £9,000 more than what we had valued the property at as you had higher valuations from other estate agents. We advised you to drop the price as we were not receiving interest at the price you requested to market at, which you then agreed at a later date. With regards to the feedback, yes it was the same from the applicants, they felt it was too much money for its size. When we complete viewings we refrain from moving your personal items out of courtesy unless we feel the property looks untidy. From our branch, we deal with all sectors of the market. We treat each property and it's vendors on an equal basis whatever the price or the size. if you would like to contact me to discuss this further please call me on 01189575455 Regards Damien Glowacki Director

I used Parkers Reading branch both as letting agents for a period of one year before selling the property through them, and in both capacities I found them to be very professional, friendly, and offering a very good service. I would have no hesitation in recommending them, or using them again in the future should the need arise.

allAgents"We rented our flat from..."
We rented our flat from Parkers over a year ago and they were brilliant. We were only in town for 2 days trying to see as many as possible and they arranged viewings quickly, even suggesting other flats. One was over our budget but they got the rent down for us and here we are today! A very quick, efficient service with the hold and paper work signed before we had to leave town and we had the same girl look after us. A bit of confusion with our renewal since our landlord wanted us to go on to a rolling contract but they were very flexible and we soon got our fee back. Looking to expand to a small house now and and would love to use Parkers again but they don't seem to have anything suitable at the moment, which is a real shame! I'll keep my eyes peeled though.
