Ray has been wonderful throughout the whole buying process. I am a first-time buyer, with a busy job and moving from another area, so the experience could have been daunting. However, he made the whole process smooth, with his friendly and extremely pleasant, helpful manner. He remained patient and was flexible; always getting back to me quickly and explaining things clearly, as well as liaising with Solicitors etc to sort out any issues. Thank you Ray for your hard work and assistance throughout. It is greatly appreciated. I would also like to add that each time I have called the office, I have found the staff to be very polite and professional. I would highly recommend Ray and Pestell & Co. for anyone requiring an Estate Agents that is professional and responsive.

We purchased a house through Pestell's in December. Working with Ray was amazing! As first time buyers he helped us throughout the whole process so we fully understood what was happening at every stage. Ray was extremely professional and responses to any queries were quick! We are now happy and settled into our home! Thanks Ray!

Ray at Pestell Dunmow is the best estate agent I’ve come across. Professional, prompt and personal. I can honestly say Ray is a true gentleman and Pestell & Co are the best estate agents, not only for buying and selling, but for rentals too (one day to find a tenant!)

Our house purchase experience with Ray at Pestell was first class. He genuinely cared about what we wanted and showed a huge depth of knowledge on the development that we were interested in. Not pushy at all and a total pleasure to deal with right the way through until the day we moved in. Would highly recommend Ray and his company.

Pestell have looked after me as a private renter for the past 4 years. They are always so helpful, friendly and yet highly professional. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and when my water pipe burst in my kitchen recently they made sure someone came out asap to help me until the plumber arrived.

I would like to say how impressed I have been with the service I have received from Pestell & Co since moving my let property across to your agency. Not only was you able to find a very suited tenant in such a short time frame you have also managed to increase my rental income and take away all the stress relating to the property. I would have no hesitations in recommending Pestell & Co to anyone I know who is looking to purchase or rent a property due to your friendly, professional and in-depth knowledge within the property market.

I went for the viewing where Ray via Prestell & Co (Dunmow) showed me around, his personally made the viewing fun but he also answered all my questions (he knows his stuff) I have just bought the property and the sale wouldn’t of gone through without the help of both Paul and Ray. As I was a first time buyer I really didn’t know the procedure. Paul let me know what I should be doing and kept me informed of the sellers position. On a lighter note what lovely people, professional but very friendly. Thank you Paul and Ray, if I need to sell at anytime I will definitely ask you to handle it.
