GoogleWe were very lucky to have Guy by our side during our recent house purchase. From our initial viewing until completion and collection of keys, we were so impressed by his professional manner, warmth, and efficient communication skills. Guy was brilliant at keeping us informed throughout the entire process, with assurance provided the same day. If he didn't know, he would lead on recommending local experts to provide the answer. We definitely benefitted from his extensive knowledge and experience in the property industry, and his tireless energy and enthusiasm. Thank you, Guy!

GoogleMy wife Caroline and I chose Fine & Country to market our 18th century period property and we are extremely glad we did. From the very first contact our agent Guy Simmons was extremely professional, yet also personable, warm, open honest and friendly. Guy is like a breath of fresh air compared to disinterested traditional agents. He advised on how best to present our property and was with us every step of the way. The marketing materials were of top quality and the interest stimulating initiatives by Guy were productive in getting us qualified potential buyers. The stand out in the entire, at times stressful process, was Guy Simmons. He is truly passionate about you and your property and went the extra mile to secure us the best result possible. We remarked that Guy's attention to detail, total support and enthusiasm remained constant throughout the entire sales period. Never flagging once. We can thoroughly recommend Fine & Country as the best property agents and especially Guy Simmons who is uniquely exceptional and will remain a friend. Thank you fir everything Guy.

GoogleCraig was the third agent to deal with the sale of our home. He was so positive about the property and I instantly trusted him to sell it for us. The other agents had put, what seemed to be, little effort in marketing the property and didn't seem at all invested in it. Craig was the very opposite and guided us through what turned out to be a pretty quick sale in the end. Thanks Craig, I highly recommend you to anyone.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI worked with Craig when purchasing a house and he was absolutely fantastic throughout!
He went out of his way to make sure that communication was clear at every step of a fairly complex purchase, and was careful that all parties were aware of all developments.
He was always quick to respond if I asked him to follow up or make an enquiry, and he was very accommodating as we went through the process of surveys etc., liaising with the seller to find appointment times that were convenient for all.
It helped enormously that Craig had taken the time to get to know the property well, so that often when I had questions he could give me an answer straight away.
He made what could have been a very overwhelming process so much smoother - couldn't recommend more.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleKerr Drummond was absolutely amazing. He saw the potential in our property and valued it much higher than any other agents. He knew how to stage the photos and how to use his network to promote our house. He came with a marketing strategy and delivered. He even managed to get us above asking price. After a lot of shenanigans within the chain we finally completed after 10 months. Kerr held all levels of the chain together, again using his network to find out what was happening and manoeuvring to get everyone aligned. He had the utmost patience with us, our seller’s agents and their solicitors. It was painful but our transaction would not have happened without Kerr. Now we’re in our forever family home - thank you Kerr!!
Go with Kerr - you will not regret it!

GoogleKerr and Craig have been outstanding in managing the sale of our house in a challenging market. They have been thoughtful, responsive and patient through the marketing process. They could not have been more helpful and supportive at the sharper end of the transaction- going the extra mile e.g. arranging contractors and tradesmen, and maintaining excellent communication throughout. True, they are more expensive than some other estate agents, but on reflection this was money well spent. Thank you!

GoogleGuy Simmons from Fine and Country was the selling agent for our recent purchase and he was fantastic from start to finish. Guy impressed us with his honest, professional and straightforward approach, which was something we had never experienced before, as we had been previously badly let down by other agencies. It felt like we were dealing with a family friend who wanted the best for us along the way, which was very refreshing. Guy is extremely knowledgeable and was able to expedite the process for us, such that we were able to sell our house and complete on our purchase within two months. I would highly recommend Guy and will be using him again for our next sale/purchase. Thank you, Guy!

GoogleHaving recently had Guy Simmons of Fine and Country assisting with our property marketing and sale we would have no hesitation in giving him a 5* rating.
As a developer I have bought and sold many homes and, no matter what agency is chosen it ultimately comes down to the assigned representative that deals with all the day to day matters.
With Guy you get someone who doesn’t work a normal 9-5, he’s always on hand with advice, support and goes out of his way to achieve the best result possible.
His professional manner, knowledge and enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air!
Above and beyond appears to be his norm which is a rarity in this field.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleTristan took the house on after a relatively lacklustre performance by another agent. The difference from the start was amazing. He was efficient and professional and showed real interest in the house and our situation, and didn't sugar coat any bad news. The video and brochure produced were excellent and the assistance we received getting the house ready was just right.
Then, of course, the pandemic struck and the whole thing went quiet but Tristan kept plugging away and doing his best to keep the sale alive. He maintained a positive spirit despite some hard times we gave him and in the end it all went through well.
The cost for F&C is a little higher than the other agents, but we both felt we were getting a better service and as a result and we had more confidence in them than any agent we have used in the past.

GoogleHaving had a bad experience with our previous estate agent, we were recommended Tristan at Fine and Country. This was the best move we made. Selling a house is never easy but Tristan made it as easy as it could be. Brilliant marketing, communication, publicity material, social media engagement - and we were kept up to date with everything that was happening on a regular basis. It felt like having our own personal estate agent and nothing was too much trouble. Unbeatable!

GoogleI have nothing but praise for Guy Simmons at fine and country estate agents. He sold me my house. He kept me completely informed about everything and made sure that my relationship to the sellers was good which was necessary because there was a lot to handover in terms of technology he went beyond the call of duty to ensure that the chain completed, even when the keys of my house that I was selling were accidentally locked in a safe ! He helped organise retrieving the keys and getting them up to Cambridge where they were needed. He is a dedicated brilliant estate agent. I’ve never met anybody as reliable and trustworthy as him. Because of him, I’m happy to recommend his company

GoogleGuy has been by far and away the best estate agent I have ever worked with. He invested very significant personal effort into every aspect of the sale, reaching well beyond what I would normally expect an agent to be doing. That began right at the start when he linked the house to a potential buyer and it continued unabated until the sale. It is always impossible to prove a negative, but I am convinced that the way in which he took the buyer through each stage of the process prevented any dramas at all - not an easy task by any means with an inexperienced buyer and an older property with plenty of quirks. Guy talked right at the start at what using Fine and Country would mean in terms of added value, and he delivered in spades.
