We are so impressed with the service from the team at Douglas Butler, to Sally when we first phoned about a property we loved, to Francesca who gave us a great valuation and to Julie who has been so helpful keeping us up to date with houses that might suit our needs, we missed out on a property we loved as the market is moving so fast, but rather than just let us go saying it has sold already the team have been amazing and are really working hard to find our dream home 🏠

Awful company. They offered my partner a job earlier in the year, only to pull the job at a later date, without an explanation. All they kept saying was that β€œsomething has come up” and that they were no longer in a position to hire. Soon after we saw the position being re-advertised. When asked to elaborate they ceased email communication, leaving us with only one income. After speaking to other estate agents we have been inform that they are a very inexperienced and unprofessional establishment. Would recommend avoiding.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Hi Tom Thank you for your review, which is not relevant to the purpose of using Google Reviews, which is for clients to share their experiences of buying/selling property through us. I am somewhat surprised by your comments, as I do not recall us formally offering anybody a position and then retracting it. We did have a recruitment drive last year, led by our former Sales Manager, who has since left the company. During this recruitment drive, we received a large volume of applicants and held a considerable number of interviews, not surprising due to Covid 19. This was all prior to further government restrictions that came in to play due to Covid 19. With all the uncertainty, we decided to hold off recruiting for the time being because of talks of new lockdowns/tiers. I am concerned about the content in this review and would appreciate it if you'd like to talk to me directly, to contact me on 01244 563 155 and I will gladly clear up any misunderstanding. Best wishes Daniel Lee Managing Director.

Dan, As we have now completed on the sale of Stanney House, Claire and I wanted to drop you a note to thank you and the team for the exemplary service we have had from Douglas-Butler. From evaluation, advice on a sale price, marketing, negotiation and chasing completion we cannot fault your organisation. You provide exactly the service everyone hopes to get from an Estate Agent compared to the on-line pure players. Proactive, engaging, friendly, knowledgable and available - we always felt in safe, experienced hands. All the team have been superb but we would like to call out Sally and Ruth specifically for their approach. Truly outstanding.

We have put our home up with Douglas Butler. They are very enthusiastic. We have yet to complete, however, all the staff have been great to contact and have dealt with us in a friendly and understanding way. Sally in particular has been very helpful and friendly. I am impressed with the speed of her communication as well as her manner. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she is trying her best to complete our sale. David and Cathy Seed

From our initial meeting with Jack and Chloe we felt we had selected the right team to sell my late sister's house. We were not disappointed. Chloe in particular provided us with regular updates regarding the progress of the sale. We would highly recommend Douglas Butler Estate Agents as a professional team with an excellent sales model which yields fast and successful results.

First class service provided by Douglas Butler. Superb photos and video tour. Added to property websites within days. Viewing appointments arranged by excellent staff at convenient times. Feedback provided on viewings. Having dealt with another estate agent recently, I cannot recommend Douglas Butler enough. Thanks to the team.

From initially contacting Daniel, (he came round to value the house that day), to completing the sale on the house, took 9 weeks! His knowledge of the value of the house and the fact he already had interested buyers for the area, meant that the house was effectively sold the day after it went on the market. I was kept updated on everything inbetween, not once did I need to contact them first to see how things were progressing. I would not hesitate in recommending Douglas Butler to sell your house and would definitely use them again next time.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Why oh why do they do it ???? A few times now I've drove around to see what houses are for sale and seen the ones I'd like to view on the internet , but low and behold I've scrolled down to view the house but it's not on there! Why put the for sale sign up before it goes on the internet I don't know ,most annoying 😑 …

Debbie Β· 14 June 2022

Agent replied Β· 13 June 2024

Hi Debbie Thanks for your review, although I am little confused as to what you mean sorry? You say you drive around to see houses with a for sale board and then you have see "houses" you like to view on the internet but then the houses are not on the internet? So sorry but that doesn't make sense to me? For your information, when a client instructs us to sell a property, we have a company that we rely on who professionally edit photographs for us, create a virtual tour and Floorplan and sometimes the board can get erected before the property appears online usually no more than a day or 2 but you can always call us if you see a board outside a house (our number is on the for sale boards) and we'll be able to help you, book you in a viewing etc. As a small independent business, I don't feel like a one star review is justified for these comments. Feel free to give me a call to explain your review in more detail, so I can understand better. Anything I can do to improve our customer's experience with us, then I am more than happy to do so? My contact number is 01244 563 155. Many thanks Daniel Lee Managing Director.

Currently in the process of trying to find a new home. We were shown around a contender by chanice from the Chester branch and she was absolutely fantastic. By far the Nicest viewing experience we have had. She was able to answer all of our questions with ease, was knowledgable about the local area and gave us the time in the property we needed without crowding us and trying to force it on us. She got straight back in touch when she said she would, which is uncommon for an estate agent, and was beyond helpful. Fingers crossed we are able to move forward with the property as so far she's made the experience faultless! Thank you very much 😊

Recently appointed Douglas Butler to sell my property after another estate agent was not able to sell it despite having it for over 9 weeks. Was very impressed with the marketing & customer service. Always on hand to offer any advice when needed. They made a stressful process a smooth one. Thank you so much. Highly recommend!!

I can’t deny I was a little unsure about using a this new company. We were going to go with a well known company, I’m so glad we didn’t. I have to say I’m so pleased we chose Douglas Butler to sell our home. I was very impressed with this new estate agent. A superb service & a brilliant selling fee of just Β£299! Excellent customer service and they helped us through the process as this is the first time we have sold a property. A very high standard of professionalism from Daniel & his team, our house is now under offer so thank you again Daniel. I would definitely be recommending Douglas Butler to my friends and family.

We sold our house with Douglas Butler recently. It sold within a few days of being on the market at full asking price. Everyone on the team was so helpful and friendly. The process was made so easy because they were so efficient, I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their house!

Very happy with the service we received when we were buying our house. Sally and Ruth worked tenaciously to get the deal over the line. They definitely went the extra mile to help us complete our purchase. What could have turned into a saga was made much more positive by the efforts of the DB team!

We have recently sold our house with Douglas Butler and we have genuinely had a great experience. The team are willing to work outside of the traditional 9-5 (unlike some local agents!!) And always came back to me quickly. Poppy and Hannah in particular were excellent with Poppy ringing me regularly with updates.

Fantastic experience from start to finish from both Jack and Chris. They sold our property for above asking price within 2 days of placing on the market!

Just want to say thank you to the team at Douglas Butler. This is the first time we have purchased a home.

If like me, you don’t know where to begin when it comes to selling your home - I can’t recommend Douglas Butler enough. Four weeks later, we are in receipt of an offer on our home - a big thank you to Dan & his team for making a daunting process very simple. Jane & Paul 😊

Ryan from the North Wales sector of Douglas Butler assisted us greatly with the sale of our house. His experience and expertise of the area and his skills as a photographer helped our house sell in just 8 days! He kept us updated at all times with arranging viewings and was available to liaise with solicitors etc. after the sale. Very professional service all round. Would highly recommend!
