Excellent service with timely communication and a shared objective of the fastest sale possible! The current situation isn't the most conducive for a positive user experience but Barbara went above and beyond to ensure a really great service. We have used RMS West Denton to buy, sell and rent out properties and each time the experience has been excellent.

Ponteland Branch

Ponteland Branch. Excellent service selling my property. It was a difficult property to sell, with no useful comparables, and a number of problems. They gave good practical advice, tested the market. Their professionalism, courtesy, tact, and patience was sorely tried at times, but they came through it with all sides still smiling. Well done everyone.

RMS COMMERCIAL - LETTING and SALES

I can highly recommend the commercial team at RMS. They not only managed to quickly find a reliable tenant for me 2yrs ago, they also helped sell the property for me during the pandemic. The whole team led by Michael have always been so helpful and professional. A special thanks to Chris and Gordon who updated me all the time. Their determination to achieve a positive outcome never failed. An excellent and reliable service.

Don’t waste your time

Put in an offer in for a house 7 months ago and still haven’t heard back. We were told they would take it off the market whilst a decision was made (apparently offers can’t be accepted until the sellers have secured a house of their own. What’s that? That’s not true? Ok maybe someone should let RMS know)House was put back on the market and then sold... We ended up buying a house through another agent who evidenced how it should be done. Generally just very poor service, at times quite rude and elements of false information. Don’t lie to your clients RMS - people will go elsewhere.I have purposefully kept names out of this for professionalism, however this is based on experience of 2 members of staff at 1 branch. I am mindful that other members of staff/branches may offer service a lot more thorough than this.

Great service. Really friendly staff and very professional. House was put on the market and within 24 hours we had viewings booked throughout the week. It sold within 9 days. Even through we were right in the middle of selling and buying when lock down happen and also having a buyer who lived aboard the Amble team went above and beyond to get us moved as soon as possible. They chased up solicitors to help move things on more quickly. Hannah and Hayley were great , no task was too big and they always kept us well informed. They are a credit to the company. Thanks for all your help. Claire & Tony

Mortgage Advisor - Ryton Branch.

Ryton Branch - Mortgage advisor. Appalling customer service she was extremely rude and very unprofessional. I was so taken back and flabbergasted by her comments and behaviour I exhaled so she then lowered herself even more to childish behaviour by mimicking me and exhaling aloud, haha WHF? Not what you would expect from an adult never mind a so called professional. To keep my dignity and self respect I left immediately after only 5 minutes of the meeting. A shame really I had high hopes as I’d used the same branch many years ago. Stay well away or be prepared to take abuse. You have been warned.
