GoogleHighly recommend Blackstone Estate Agents. We recently purchased our new home through Blackstone and Gary was just exceptional. Really felt as though he went above and beyond to keep both us and the sellers happy. Communication was excellent. He would regular check in to ensure that all was well and ask if there was anything we needed from him. Just all round excellent customer service.
Gary was also very knowledgeable. We viewed a lot of properties in our hunt for the perfect home and he was by far the best estate agent we had show us round a house. He had all the information to hand, was personable and suggested ideas.
Both myself and my partner are very grateful to Gary. We will definitely use Blackstone if we ever need to sell!

GoogleBlackstone have been brilliant, as first time buyers we weren't sure what to look out for.They guided us through the whole process, Gary was always available to help us if/when we needed him.
Prior to coming to Blackstone our journey wasn't the easiest however Blackstone were like a breath of fresh air. They have been so helpful through the whole process and we couldn't have asked for more.
They have been nothing short of fantastic and couldn't rate them highly enough. Thank you so much.

GoogleAlthough Ian and the team are nice to deal with and would no doubt close deals, unfortunately they let themselves down in marketing and selling our property. We don't think it's unreasonable to expect some sort of regular updates but we didn't get anything, without having to call up ourselves (we rang 2 weeks after going on market so we are not exactly pushy to be fair!!). Lastly, we haven't received our floor plan file, after paying for this, so all in all we are very disappointed and decided to take our house off the market and will go with another agent in the Bournemouth/Poole area.

GoogleAbsolutely fantastic. Showed us round the property without any fake sales pitch that most others seem to do, answered all questions honestly, had full knowledge of the property and chased solicitors and anybody else holding up our purchase to make our move into our first place as simple as possible.
They even gave us a lovely bottle of prosecco upon completion which was a really nice touch.
Couldn't recommend Gary and Ian enough!

GoogleBlackstone Estate agents are professional and friendly, the service from Ian & Gary has been amazing.
We have never sold a property before and we were apprehensive about what to expect. From start to finish they kept us updated at all times, answered our questions and made the whole process stress free. Thank you Ian & Gary, we cannot recommend you highly enough π

GoogleI originally bought my place in Bournemouth via Blackstones in 2005. Their service then, with me as a buyer, was brilliant.
17 years later and it's time to sell so it's back to Ian & Gary.
Their advice, service, patience, local knowledge, unflappability in the face of the somewhat variable economic climate, tact, common sense and downright dogged determination have been an absolute God-send, especially Gary.
Many thanks again, guys. Much appreciated.

GoogleHighly recommend Blackstones!
They sold us our first property 9 years ago, then they found us our new property when we had been looking for months and kept discounting the property we are now in. Ian listened to what we needed and then was able to point us to the right property even when we couldn't find it ourselves. They had done such a great job that we decided to then switch to them to sell our property after the first estate agents not being good.
They were very honest when they showed us a property and didn't pretend it was perfect and even said this isn't the one for you when normally estate agents try and convince you that every property is the property for you, they worked with you.
We won't even think twice about going straight to them when we next move to help us sell. Ian was brilliant, always happy to answer any question and every phone call and also very happy to try and push it along when it's taking time.
Very happy customers!

FacebookWe joined this company who had a great knowledge of my area,
Just disappointed with lack of communication, I had to prompt the reminders , as Ian said
We keep in touch !!!!!!!!!!
The whole of the country is not selling , but just give us positive chat ,
We had no choice to move on to a positive agent ,
Who will give us some hope.

GoogleBlackstone estate agents went above and beyond to help us secure our first home. They ensure the whole chain were happy and really reassured us in what was a tricky time to buy! They were always quick to answer the phone or emails! And always friendly and knowledgeable! I would not use any other estate agents within the area ! I would 100% recommend them to anyone . Thanks again to Ian and Gary for all their hard work !

GoogleWell done Gary and Ian. You've scored a hat trick, as well as selling to our eldest daughter a couple of years ago, this year you've sold to us and our youngest daughter. Thankyou for your hard work and persistence in getting us to exchange this week. We are looking forward to collecting the keys for our forever home. From The Toohey Clan.

FacebookAbsolutely excellent customer service, I couldnβt recommend Blackstones enough. Ian has been fantastΒic, always phoning when he says he will, keeping us in the loop and sharing news with us good or bad as he found out. Ian and Gary are both very responsive to emails or calls and make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. We had a very bumpy road with our house move but I can honestly say I doΒnβt think it would have gone through witΒhout the continued support and persistenΒce from Ian. Thank you both so much, if we ever move again (unlikely!) we would only ever use BlacksΒtones.Thank you, Meltem and Francis

FacebookWe spoke with 3 agents before choosing Blackstone's to sell our home. Throughout a fairly traumatic 5 month process Ian was fantastic. He always kept us informed, he liaised promptly with all parties. I never once had to chase him. He managed to maintain good humour as my stress levels rocketed with various unforeseen hurdles. I am so pleased that we chose a smaller independent and not a big faceless chain. I wholeheartedly recommend Blackstone's. Thank you! We are finally in our dream, forever home, and I really don't think we'd have made it without you.

FacebookAbsolutely cannot fault Gary and Ian. Initially, we were buying through Blackstone and selling through another estate agent. After being messed around by our first buyer and not being given any information as to what was happening with our sale, we chose to also sell through Blackstone as well. Gary kept me well informed, and on the many occasions I called him, nothing was too much trouble. He must have spent hours making calls on our behalf. I would definitely recommend Blackstone.

GoogleI recently purchased a property through Blackstone and they were always very attentive and played their part very well. I neve had to wait for anything with Blackstone and whenever I asked them for anything I was always given a response almost straight away so overall a very good service.
Always refreshing to deal with small/local businesses too because you don't get the quality issues that you do with the larger businesses.
