allAgentsFrom bad to
It isn't surprising that the sales team can not find any applicants to join the Blandford office.
Job adverts rolling on, senior lettings staff moved in to keep an eye and babysit the head of lettings and her team.
This after herself and her staff had a string of serious unprofessional issues being exposed. Investigations and punishments by governing bodies and the on going investigation by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors.
The lastest unprofessional behaviour to be discovered is the video of the lettings manager intoxicated in the office, this coming on the back of her being on dating apps while at work. Can this branch get any lower!

GoogleRachael James and her lettings team at Symonds & Sampson have made this move exceptionally smooth and stress free. We have moved 3 times in the last 6 months each involving different agents and this was by far the best experience we have had - thank you so much.

GoogleAbsolute pleasure to deal with. Alex kept on top of the issues and handled the process with great professionalism. Most of the time he seemed to know more than the agents handling the sale of our house did. Will certainly recommend them as easy to deal with, courteous and professional.

allAgentsAm waiting to recieve call
Am waiting to recieve call back on when would be appropriate to view a property with the hope to place an offer. But have waited all week for a call which have not recieved. Everytime I call there office I am promised a call back, but yes you have guessed right it never comes. Makes you think that vendors instruct these agents to sell there properties. But they cant even give a curtious call to a proceedable purchaser.
