Simon and his team have been amazing through out the process of purchasing our first property. Being first time buyers there were many aspects of the transaction process that we did not fully understand but Simon has been there 24/7 to answer our questions and explain how things work and guide us through the process. He has a fantastic approach to his work and is very reliable. When I decide to sell or buy a new property I will definitely speak to Simon first. Whole heartedly recommend.

I was introduced to Simon by friends who had been very happy with his sale of their apartment. I found him extremely helpful,appreciated his friendly,honest approach and support through the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always available to answer any queries and provide full helpful reports of all visits. His photos and video of the apartment were very impressive and I am sure contributed to a successful sale. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is considering buying or selling a property.

Quite simply, Simon & Co are amazing! After the initial meeting with Simon regarding selling our property, it was clear he did things very differently to other estate agents we had met. His approach regarding how to tackle the process was unique and refreshing, making it clear how it would work and how we would get the best price possible for our flat. It was logical and made sense, we were sold by his strategy and confidence to get the job done. The marketing material he produced was second to non, from professional photos to a slick video including drone footage which was stunning. Simon then did his magic and within a couple of weeks we had several fantastic offers, one of which we accepted. This is the beauty of Simons process, he goes all in with an efficient, thorough and effective process, resulting in offers coming in swiftly. He is then on hand throughout to ensure things run smoothly until completion. With such an important part of our lives getting Simon on-board was one of the best decisions we ever made, and if your looking to sell your property do not look any further! Simon is your man.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

He is an absolute star !!! If I ever decide to sell a property again, Simon&Co will be definitely chosen to do it for me. Thank you and best regards.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Simon's approach from start to finish was everything I could have asked for in an estate agent. The marketing he puts together is very professional and I had so much positive feedback from my friends and family about the photos and videos of my property. I sold my flat for a lot more than I thought I would and Simon played a huge part in this. I felt supported by Simon throughout my property sale, he was always available and happy to help. I believe he provides a service far beyond what a high street estate agent can and does provide. I would highly recommend Simon & Co, you will not be disappointed.

After making the difficult decision to sell a property, I can highly recommend Simon from Simon & Co. He is thorough, honest and ethical with high standards. The process of selling and buying is known to get highly stressful and unpredictable but having an agent like Simon, who really cares about his vendors, made the process far more bearable. You would not regret choosing his experience or work ethic.

Simon provided so much support for us as first time buyers. He made the whole process a lot smoother and less stressful. He would provide constant updates for us via WhatsApp and was quick to respond if we had any questions. I would recommend Simon to anyone who is looking to buy or sell.

We have just bought a flat through Simon & Co, and Simon was extremely helpful throughout this process. It was refreshing to have an estate agent who was not pushing us to buy, and instead went out of his way to answer our questions fully and truthfully. He was also very good at liaising with our solicitors at all stages during the sale process, which sped things up considerably. A very positive experience all round.

10/10 estate agents who are willing to go the extra mile - unlike the traditional agents you find and very helpful with extra attention to detail. Would recommend!

We were recommended to Simon and Co by Midas Lettings who were looking after our rental property. As we were in Portugal due to Covid19 restrictions we didn’t think it would be very easy to sell our property. How wrong we were. Simon dealt with everything for us, co-ordinating the viewings with the tenants and potential buyers. The property went on the market on 19th December with the first viewing on 21st and was sold on 28th December. We had personal items in the garage and Simon took care of clearing the garage, arranging removers, storage and house clearance for all the things we had left. He did a superb job keeping us informed of everything that was going on and going above and beyond his role in emptying the house. Simon also recommend a solicitor to us who was also very good. When you think that everything was done over the Internet by email, WhatsApp and messages it is amazing that everything was completed by 26th February. We would have no hesitation in recommending Simon and Co to anyone who wants to sell their property and get the best possible price.PositiveProfessionalism

Not your average house sale! I have to recommend Simon Spicer for his patience, diligence and sense of humour during the sale of our property! It sold, not once, not twice but three times due to people pulling out for one reason and another! Each time, Simon sold it again within a few days. His photos and write up of the property helped to sell it but I have no doubt that he was the best man for the job throughout! If you have a home to sell, he is your man and I can’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks Si 😊PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Having viewed a number of properties prior with Simon we knew the agent we would proceed with for our sale. Throughout the whole process and demand for viewings he has been excellent at all levels including credibility of purchasers "No time wasters" His open & professional approach on how he will manage best price really does produce the goods plus he has evidence to back it up. Remember people estate agents don't buy your house the person/family who fall in love do. Also as the owner Simon respects your feedback and decision on price setting for offers. Thank you again and all the best for 2021 !PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We have just bought our first flat through Simon and cannot recommend him highly enough. Our purchase ended up being fairly complicated, and there were several times where it would have fallen through if it wasn’t for Simon. Each time he worked incredibly hard to find a solution that worked for both us and the vendors. He is honest, reliable and responsive - unlike any other estate agents I have come across! Fantastic service, we will definitely be using him in the future when the time comes to sell.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Stop right here and call Simon if you want as less stress as possible with your property sale or purchase. We used Simon for selling our flat, I am so glad we did because from the first conversation on the phone with him he is right there assisting, taking the stress of you where he can and let me tell you not knowing the ‘’completion day rules’’ of the UK we needed help. When I saw the professional photos and video of our flat I felt I wanted to buy the place! We accepted an offer within 2 weeks of the advert. One of the company’s value is straight forwardness and honesty, which me and my husband appreciated very much. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon & Co.’s services to anybody. People with English not being your mother tongue I would say you found the right agent. Gabriella Kovacs

After trying to sell my flat in Bournemouth for almost three years, and at one point using five of the most recognised and established agents in the area, I was introduced to Simon. Simon came to my flat at a time that was convenient to me and was honest about how to market my property and what price I was likely to achieve. We discussed when to put it back on the market and I left it to him. Simon came back for about 3 hours and took many photos showing the property in detail, including the communal areas. Once on the market we had a flurry of viewings and after each one Simon gave us a fully detailed feedback, usually within hours of the viewing. Once the Covid 19 lockdown was lifted we had three viewings on the same day, a Sunday, when other agents choose not to work. Each of them were prepared to make an offer and Simon advised us which one to accept. We completed in about four weeks, mostly thanks to Simon's help and intervention. He is most definitely the most impressive agent that I have ever used and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who genuinely wants to sell their property. We kept in touch the whole time, and Simon made himself available to chat or update during evenings and at weekends. Simon has a very different approach than any other agent that I have used, but it works, and works well!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Simon & Co is breath of fresh air in the estate agency business. We started with an excellent video of the property and an informative e-brochure with a large number of good quality photos. Simon provided complete continuity and clear communication throughout, keeping us informed by phone and by text. He made a genuine effort to understand our needs, taking a personal approach to help reconcile issues by facilitating discussion with our vendor; this led to a timely completion. Overall, we had an excellent experience with Simon and Co and would strongly recommend Simon Spicer (Simon & Co).PositiveProfessionalism

I said over 40 odd years of owning and selling properties. Simon & Co were the best company we had ever dealt with . The whole experience was totally stress free and with very little input on our part, as Simon & Co organised all the viewings and dealings with our solicitor but kept us up to date at all times

The most impressive agent I’ve used to sell a home in 20+ years. I rejected approaches from three major multi-branch agents due to Simon’s non-pushy and slightly non-standard, but highly effective, selling approach. Plus my sense that he genuinely wanted to sell my home - it wasn’t just “a job to do”. Simon’s methods delivered more viewings and credible offers - in the depth of winter - than I expected, a quicker and smoother sale, and at a price I was hoping for. He was diligent and professional - well over an hour on-site to capture a large number of high-quality pictures, which he added to a comprehensive and well-written property profile. Same-day and clear feedback after viewings and I don’t recall ever having to chase him for anything. I sensed he was working equally attentively to potential buyers' needs and questions. Neighbours have already approached him to manage their own home sale. If you value being able to meet your agent in a fancy high-street office, with half-a-dozen staff sitting there to answer phones, piles of glossy brochures, grand promises that they'll sell your home next week at thousands more than you expected, etc, then Simon’s not the agent for you. But if instead your priority is to actually sell, for a good price and swiftly, with minimal stress, and with great service from your agent, then he definitely is.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Simon recently sold our 2-bed flat in Meyrick Park Crescent, Bournemouth (no chain involved). It is a well maintained, top floor flat with a long lease and allocated parking space. In the beginning we put the flat on the market in Autumn 2018 when Brexit uncertainty was beginning to spook prospective buyers. After a slow start with six or so positive viewings we accepted an offer in September 2019. However, against the background of growing uncertainty, economic gloom and mortgage lending tightening the sale fell through in November 2019. The sales process was simply taking too long in such an uncertain time through no fault of Simon. We took the flat off the market in December and decided to try again in January 2020. Following another six or so viewings we finally accepted an offer at the end of February 2020. Meanwhile, Covid-19 was making its presence felt and the property market was about to go into hibernation, not to mention solicitors being furloughed … Fortunately, the sale successfully completed in June 2020. Simon’s prompt feedback after viewings was excellent and we cannot stress enough the importance of good communications, particularly during times of uncertainty. We are convinced that the sale went through against the odds because communication channels for buyer and seller were kept open and reassurances given when necessary. Big thank you from us, Simon.PositiveProfessionalism

We sold through Simon & Co at the asking price. Simon provides a personal service from images and writing the spec, accompanying viewings and keeping us informed at every stage by email or phone. He worked really hard to push the others in the chain including contacting vendors, agents and solicitors. He is a talented photographer, taking excellent photos which showed our home in the best possible way. I thoroughly recommend him.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We had seen the property we wanted to buy before putting ours on the market. We were just coming to the end of our renovations and were hopeful of finding an estate agent who would be understanding of our situation and achieve a good price quickly. We "interviewed" three estate agents, a large regional chain, a local single office agency, and Simon. The large regional chain were hopeless, arriving 15mins late for a valuation, before advising a very low figure just because a property a few roads over was similar. The local single office agency were great, but just told us what we wanted to hear, and had the usual approach of going with a high figure and accepting offers. Simon was immediately different. He listened to our thoughts and ideas, told us what we needed to hear and how he would make it work. We went with an aggressive figure but were confident Simon's approach would achieve higher, and he didn't disappoint. Simon and I spent an entire morning photographing all aspects (good and not so good) of our property. Having a listing on RightMove with photos high in quality and quantity created an initial buzz when we launched. His communication through the viewing process (e.g. logistics and feedback) was exemplary. Within a week we had two offers, within 10 days we had sold. We had never sold a property before, nor been a link in a chain. As such we had no reason to appreciate the role an estate agent plays once an offer has been accepted. Solicitors and surveyors, as their roles dictate, make everything sound scary. Simon's candour, communication skills and dogged persistence to see us through to exchange of contracts was very welcome. He was a sane voice amongst the stress. Overall, we can't recommend Simon enough. We're grateful we took the chance, but in reality we knew it wasn't a risk as soon as we met him.
