GoogleAbsolutely superb service from start to finish.
I would highly recommend Ryan James Estate Agents. From the outset Ryan was extremely professional, helpful and ensured nothing was an issue.
The exceptional marketing, images and pricing of our home, helped for a quick sale and over the asking price! I have no doubt this was down to the industry expertise Ryan and his team have.
We were inundated with viewings and the offer of Ryan to show potential buyers around for us (we declined this offer as he had done so much already - however it is a great option to have should you want it as a seller).
The customer care throughout the whole sale process from beginning to end was exceptional and a special shout out for Ellie whoβs energy and passion for her role is second to none!
Thanks Ryan James Estate Agents! Keep up the fantastic work.

GoogleI cannot recommend Ryan James Estate Agents enough. From the start Ryan was very honest and realistic about what was achievable when selling my home.
Ryan and Lexi worked extremely hard to get my sale through in 8 weeks, there was a substantial amount of pressure from my buyer to move quickly and Ryan and Lexi handled it all with professionalism keeping me informed and going above and beyond to ensure my sale was successful.
I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and determination. They were always a phone call away and often out of hours there to answer any questions and get things over the line. I have never known an estate agent go the extra mile like these guys did.
Thank you so much to all of you at Ryan James #1 Estate agents around πππ

GoogleI would recommend Ryan and his team to anyone looking to sell their house. From the first meeting we had we could tell he had our best interests at heart and worked quickly to get our house on the market. He asked about what we were looking for in our new house and had lots of suggestions, one of which we now own!
Throughout the process, which had numerous difficulties, Lexi looked after us by keeping us informed and chased queries up for us.
We are absolutely over the moon about our new house and it is all down to the dedication of Ryan James Estate Agents - thank you!

GoogleUseless. Booked to view a house ,he cancelled 5 minutes before then messed us around .booked a second viewing, never showed up and it was sold in the meantime and never rang to tell us. 100% don't use ,they will waste your time.

Hi Katie, First and foremost, Iβm sorry you feel messed around, however appointments can run over and unforeseen circumstances can happen day to day in most walks of life, this being why your appointment was re arranged for later in the day. However, a second viewing was never arranged. It was discussed, but not confirmed as your partner was informed that there was an offer on the property and that we would notify you if the situation was to change. I would be interested to know when you believed the second viewing was arranged for, and would like to discuss this further with you or your partner. Iβm available 7 days a week up untilΒ 8pmΒ forΒ aΒ chat!

FacebookSorry but I'm so disappointed in your service :-( I have rang to view two properties over a space of a few weeks, one twice and never got a call to view. Also trying to get someone to ring me back to discuss an offer was a joke. I would not recommend you to anyone. Very, very poor service. βΉοΈ

GoogleWhen buying our first home we didnβt know what to expect, but we are so glad the home we chose was up with Ryan James estate Agents. The whole team were nothing but supportive throughout the whole experience & always had our best interest at heart. When our solicitors or advisors werenβt able to support us in some areas, the team didnβt stop until they had put our mind at ease & had the issue resolved. Will now only use Ryan James estate agents with any sales or purchases in the future, the service they provide is amazing & I cannot thank the team enough for the efforts they made in helping us with our first home.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleI used Ryan James to sell my first home. Iβd had several recommendations from friends and family and decided to go for it! All of them were right... The service was second to none. I received an accurate and honest valuation and agreed a sale quickly, at the full asking price, The quality of their photography, the brochure they produced, coupled with their tenacious staff had the desired effect. SOLD! Thank you so much Ryan, Lexi and JessicaPositiveProfessionalism

GoogleA long review so apologies but I want people to know just how good Ryan James estate agents are.
From the very start I could tell Ryan was more professional and would provide better customer service than previous estate agents we had tried and failed with. He spent over 90 minutes arranging the house for the best photos and said upon leaving βI canβt see you not getting a lot of interest hereβ. He wasnβt wrong... 25 viewings in total, only 1 cancellation and they rearranged for the following week. I put that down to the fact Ryan did every single viewing himself, showing the house and chasing the clients before and after for feedback.
When the house had lots of views but no offers, Ryan was proactive, suggesting alternate marketing strategies, adjusting the price, weekly reviews with his team (namely Lexi who was also excellent for us), coming to take different photos when the weather was better etc. He did this both times a dip happened (no views/interest for a week). In stark contrast to an agent we used in 2019 who managed us 3 views in 4 months, Ryan James managed 25 in 3 months.
Finally the offer came, sold, fell through. Ryan got us back on quickly and sold again. Just when it seemed plain sailing a few ultimatums from our purchasers came, ordinarily this would be dealt with by the solicitors but the purcashers solicitors were poor. Ryan stepped in, he saved the sale by making the surveyor consider numerous things with his valuation, causing a revaluation at sale price. He then acted to save the deal weeks later when an ultimatum came of (the deal has to be done and moved in by Monday 17th... this came on Thursday 14th). Again Ryan stepped in, worked with our solicitors to save the deal. His commitment to us didnβt stop there, faced with a mad panic of what we would do as our new house wasnβt ready, he found and negotiated a nearby 1 month rent for us on the Friday night, getting the keys immediately so we could begin a move.
Throughout this stressful experience Ryan and his team have been nothing short of outstanding, I have already and will continue to recommend them to any of my friends/family selling a property.
When all other estate agents stop working, you can be certain Ryan and his team will be still plugging away to get deals done. I honestly canβt express how grateful we are and express our gratitude at the unbelievable levels of professionalism, work ethic, knowledge and customer service we experienced.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
