I purchased my new home from Carman Friend, I used different estate agent to sell my house who were less productive & barley heard from them thought out the process. I can safely say Staff at Carmen Friends did all the work, they kept on top of things, constantly kept me updated, questions ect. Next time I’ll be using this company.
5/5
Excellent estate agents, recieved two offers in under a week and the sale was complete in under two months. Gareth was friendly, reliable and always responded quickly to any questions. Would definately use Carmen Friend again.

I have no hesitation in recommending Carman Friend. They kept us updated every step of the sales process, gave us timely feedback on viewings and stayed in regular contact throughout the process.

Carman Friend sold our house under tricky circumstances after Covid. Their advice and professionalism was incredible. Do not hesitate to instruct them, they are calm, friendly and go over and above with customer service.
Thanks so much for your lovely words Emma, we were delighted to be involved for you :-)

We purchased a house where Carmen Friend were acting as agents. We dealt with Gareth, very profesonal, he was super helpful. Even with after sales enquiries we've had - nothing too much trouble.

Carman Friend made my house sale look easy. One prompt and friendly visit to assess the house and garden, followed by a morning of continuous viewings. Sold ! Thank you to the friendly staff and their efficient handling of the whole process.
Thank you so much :-) it was a pleasure!

Thanks to Chrissy and the rest of the team in dealing with my purchase. They were always quick to respond and made the process run smoothly right through to completion.
5/5
Great communication and after care considering I was the buyer of the property so hadn’t even instructed Carman Friend. Knowledgeable and caring staff and quick to respond to any queries during the sale. Very pleased!
Thanks so much for your review Rebecca! Our service stretches to buyers as much as vendors and we are so pleased you felt this way :-)
5/5
Other estate agents - you need to raise your game. The team at Carman Friend are real people who treat you like real people not just the route to another commission payment. They are clearly extremely knowledgeable about the area, the quality of photos/website content was extremely high and quickly published and our home sold in just over 2 weeks. Where they really excelled was making sure that the chain were communicating well over the conveyancing process and ensured exchange as quickly as possible. Our old neighbours have gone with another agent - by the time we moved they had received only 1 viewing - enough said.
5/5
Just bought a house with Carmen Friend as the estate agent. Questions always answered promptly via email, happy to show us round the house anytime (even Saturdays, when we had already purchased just to measure up). Couldn't ask for much more!
Thank you Andy, we are so pleased you were happy with all we did! It was a pleasure to help you buy your home :-)
5/5
Excellent service from start to finish (less than 6 weeks to complete!) Gareth was very efficient gently prompting without being pushy - kept everyone informed and things moving. Would definitely recommend 👍 …

Excellent service from start to finish. It was a tough sale due to problems in the chain but Gareth kept us updated and was always happy to go that extra mile.

“I can’t speak highly enough about the Carman Friend team, as they say they are intentionally different. Of course, the company is a relatively new player but the individuals involved are vastly experienced and knowledgeable in the local market. They are immensely proud to be different and stand out from the crowd and they bring a level of enthusiasm and personal commitment that I have rarely seen before with traditional estate agents. And its not just about enthusiasm, they know what they are talking about and have got all the tools and experience to ensure that you get the best chance of selling your property for the maximum value. Finally, they never forget that there number one priority is to serve you in the best way possible. They are committed to understanding your individual needs and delivering an outcome that suits you. Intentionally different, fabulously refreshing
5/5
A first class all round estate agency service. From Day one Sami Carman was one hand to offer guidance and advice throughout the whole process, from the day we asked her to do a valuation to the day we exchanged contracts. This is a full estate agency service and you really feel taken care of. We were given clear pragmatic advice as to how best to market our property and what price we should expect to receive. Then as the conveyancing process was underway they were on hand to provide updates, chase up matters and provide clear lines of communication between us and the buyer. The marketing materials produced were of the highest standard and really showed the best qualities of our property. Carman Friend know property and they know how to sell it. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and we would only want to use them again in the future when required.
5/5
“I was pleased with the personal service that Sami offered, nothing was too much trouble and she was always reachable. Whereas other estate agents are only open office hours and you deal with a team of people instead of an individual. They are also rubbish at returning calls, not mentioning any names! At a stressful time, good customer service is very important! I would definitely, recommend your company to others and would use you in the future, not that I am planning on moving anytime soon! I wish you all the success for the future, your sale boards are popping up everywhere! "
5/5
Within the last year I have bought and sold property through Carman Friend, and can honestly say that I could not be more happy with the service provided to me as both a buyer and a seller. I hope to never have to deal with any other agent again. With Carman Friend you get a truly personal service, they get to know you and your property or property requirements, and then work to suit that. Always friendly, always helpful, always knowledgeable, always available, I even had a text at 9pm on a Saturday evening telling me that my offer had been accepted. With most other agents you’re lucky to even be able to get hold of an answerphone beyond 5pm! If the above all sounds a bit too good to be true, walk the streets of Chester at the moment and see how many Carman Friend ‘Under Offer’ boards there are by comparison with those of other agents. Sami, Gareth and co seem to be fairly successfully sweeping up the area, and long may that continue! Good luck to you all, it’s been so nice to be part of your success, and hopefully our paths will cross again soon.
