Stratton Oak Estates Bournemouth reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Having previously not had success with other agents, we spoke to George who gave us useful tips and advice about how to prepare and stage our property, he didn't pressure us to sign up straight away. After we followed his advice we listed our property with him and it sold on the first viewing, but his work didn't end there, he continued to work hard, keeping information flowing between us, the buyer and the solicitors until completion. And even after that he as offered us useful advice about our future plans. George doesn't just want properties on his books, he looks after the properties and clients that he has and provides you with all the advice you need along the way. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I don’t normally write reviews but thought this was one time it deserved one. George from Stratton Oak Estate Agents was first class and professional front start to end. He was always at the end of his phone day and evening for any question however daft it was which many estate agents do not do (go home at 5 !) He assisted in all the house move arrangements which was a huge weight of our shoulders. He liaised regularly with the mortgage broker and solicitors, always keeping us in the loop so we knew exactly where we’re at with the selling and buying of our home. And to top it off, the day of the actual move, he was the rock for us. He took the brunt of all the stress by dealing with everyone in the chain plus dealing with solicitors. If ever you want First Class service whether selling or buying a house I would seriously recommend this estate agent. Wouldn’t be here in our new home if it hadn’t have been for George. Excellent company. Excellent service.

We would highly recommend Stratton Oak Estate agents who are by far the best estate agents in the area. George provided a excellent service for the sale of our property and on many occasion went above and beyond his role to help us secure our sale and purchase. We felt George was always open and honest and fully committed to helping us sell our property. We are very grateful to George for all his help and now happily settling into our new home.

Firstly, thank you George for your excellent guidance over the last few months. You certainly went above and beyond what you needed to do for us, and we appreciate that. If there were a 6 star rating then you would deserve it. If you’re reading this and you’re a little unsure about going with Stratton Oak Estates, because they are a smaller business than some of your typical flashy estate agents on the high street, then fear not. We sold our flat in an astonishing amount of time, and we are certain that we couldn’t have got a better service from any other estate agent. In fact, when we were viewing houses we were disappointed in other estate agents, knowing how great George was showing people around our property. George was extremely good at keeping up with our complex chain, and helped remove many blockers along the way that no one had noticed. Without George’s close and personal touch the chain would have collapsed. I think you’re particularly good at your job because you are honest, upfront, have great communication skills and excellent relationships with other estate agents and solicitors. You always know exactly where you are with George. Once again, thank you. We know exactly who to call if we ever need to sell a property again and this review cannot express how great you and your team truly are! Adam and Jack

George Marshall was recommended to us by our financial advisor and we are so grateful we found him. From the beginning of the process right up until the very end, George was utterly professional and left no stone unturned in converting an early offer into exchange and then completion. We always imagined that our house would be a challenge for any estate agent due to certain "compromises" such as a lack of conventional rear garden and its very close proximity to a noisy dual carriageway. George carefully explained how he worked in terms of a targeted marketing approach and we were very impressed with his explanation of how he would sell our property and had no hesitation in placing our faith in him. We had about 14 viewings in 3 weeks and an offer which was slightly low. George negotiated hard with the prospective purchasers and within a few hours we were in receipt of an acceptable offer. Things then didn't go smoothly in that the person at the bottom of a very small chain was quite erratic and unpredictable throughout the sale. To his great credit, George managed the whole process with great skill. His experience really shone through and his communication was exceptional. We actually felt that we were his only clients and he was always at the end of the phone or replying to texts and emails as soon as he possibly could. He would always liaise with the solicitors and keep us fully informed every step of the way. We have referred friends to George who have experienced difficulties in selling their apartment for quite some time and are confident that George will find a way forward. Not only is he an exceptional estate agent, his fee structure is more attractive than the "big" high street agents. If you want to sell your property quickly and with minimum fuss, and place it in the hands of a true professional Stratton Oaks is the company of choice in Bournemouth. Paul & Wendy now in Leeds.

I cannot rate Stratton's more highly for their professionalism throughout the process of selling our property. George went above and beyond to help us with several peripheral requests and, in a challenging climate for house sales, was incredibly effective in his proposed approach - this effectively resulted in a very quick sale at an optimum price. George and team are highly recommended !... thank you for everything. Julia Gadsdon

Stratton Oak Estates come highly recommended. We consider them to be the most honest and professional estate agents we have ever dealt with. The sale of our property was made much easier with the support and advice of George and his team. They remain in contact throughout the process, and are available via email and mobile phone at times when most estate agents aren't interested. We can't thank them enough for all their heard work recently.

Shame there is only 5 stars definitely worth more. George and staff thank you for the Professionalism in the way you over saw the recent sale of my house, nothing was to much for you to handle. The amount of interest generated through your own web site and your use of Zoopla & Rightmove was astounding when two nearby Agents managed four viewings between them you achieved in excess of 21 one of which were the eventual buyers. Well done and many thanks.

My husband and I instructed George Marshall from Stratton Oak Estates on the sale of our property which completed this week. We chose for George to carry out all viewings, who gave us plenty of notice for each viewing. Throughout the process George was highly professional, courteous and helpful. We were at the end of a chain and George was very productive in chasing the chain through. He kept us up to date at all times, we always knew what was happening and he also liaised with our solicitor constantly. We were completely satisfied with the service that we received, in fact our expectations were exceeded. We highly recommend Stratton Oak Estates.

Thank you to George for being there more than 100% during both the sale of our property in Bournemouth and our purchase of a property Stratton Oaks was marketing. It is wonderful to feel reassured that, yes, a human, down to earth, professional, discreet, and personal service is possible in this generally impersonal and digital age! We can echo all that Paul and Wendy write in their review below!

Really above and beyond service. From start to finish I never felt like I was out of the loop and George & Shannon did a fantastic job of helping me market my flat to make it look as good as it possibly could including personally visiting the flat on the day of the photos and matterport tour and checking everything. We were able to sell quickly for a figure we were extremely happy with and the whole process was handled excellently. We would not hesitate to use Stratton Oaks again. We felt like they were always available and happy to help with any questions we had, and we had a quite a lot of questions. Thanks very much.

George and his team worked tirelessly to make a very complicated sale possible. His pragmatic and supportive approach eventually got the sale over the line.

As far as estate agents go, George was quite simply, a breath of fresh air! He kept us in the loop at 'every' stage; responding to emails late in an evening. George's calm and professional approach, coupled with decades of experience was invaluable. Thank you Stratton Oak! Simon & Anna Spendlowe
