GoogleAs a first time young single buyer of my first property the whole process seemed a bit daunting. However, Benjamin Herbert was incredibly professional and helpful throughout making everything much more manageable and helping me to understand the process and time scales accurately. I highly recommend Benjamin to any first time buyer in the area as I have no doubt that he will help them secure the right property for them! Thank you Benjamin.

GoogleGemma and the team were fantastic from start to finish, a true credit to Haart and Estate Agents in general. Although there were some delays between our Solicitors along the way, They were always doing their best to move the process along and keep me updated along the way to try and take the stress and uncertainty out of buying for the first time.
Great Service, Great Team, You'll be in good hands.

GoogleI had a tenant who fell into very bad arrears!
A lady named Carolyn took control of the situation, was extremely professional and so understanding.
Was able to clear the arrears so it worked really well for all parties involved.
And was able to solve all the problems thrown at her.
Highly recommended, amazing!

GoogleMy mums second property was a disaster. We had one bad Tenant after another. I walked into Haarts with a view to sell and we ended up putting it on the market. One last go. They took over everything. Found brilliant Tenants, got us a very competitive rent, handled all the stuff we found overwhelming. Everything is so transparent and easy to understand. Carly Nelson has been brilliant. Cass, Toni, Hollie are always available. They really are a brilliant team. Thank you.

GoogleChristopher Westbrook was my letting agent and this was the most pleasant and smooth move I've ever had. Chris was very cheerful, polite and clear in all dealings we had together. He was very prompt whenever I needed to get hold of him and conveyed information in a clear way.
The only small issue I had was that I was told I'd be moving in with professionals, and it'd be two guys and a girl. To be moving during covid, kinda have to rely on the information I'm given. Well there certainly aren't any other women here, and one gentleman is retired, but I think I'm actually happier with this set up than I would've been. My new housemates keep to themselves and are lovely people. SO I give 4 stars, as for many other girls, a house with older men may have been more problematic so something to be aware of. Overall - excellent experience, would recommend both Chris and Haart as a letting agents.

GoogleI honestly can’t praise the Colchester Haart team enough, with a special thanks to Carly and Chris who go above and beyond. Carly, Chris, Liz and Carolyn who are the very definition of a happy team. A positive team all strive to provide excellent customer service, they are professional, polite with outstanding communication skills. Collectively they made the entire process transparent and streamlined. The team took care of everything on my behalf making the entire process easy and stress free, whilst keeping me updated and well informed. Great prices and a excellent team spirit. I highly recommend Haart letting team and I will most definitely use them in future.

GoogleThe service that I've received whilst organising the rental of the property has been brilliant. Communication has been on the money every time and even when Chris repeatedly had no response from me his professionalism never wavered and although I'm sure it must have tested his patience at times it never came through in his tone on the many voicemails that he had to leave me. I'm more than happy with the service provided and would recommend Haarts to anyone looking to search out a new home. Well done chris and thank you for all the work, effort and patience.

GoogleThis is the 4th property with Haarts Estate agents. To be honest i have always had a great service. On my latest property Christopher ( Chris) is a star. I actually bought the property through a different agent and so had both agents to find a tenant. As soon as i gave haart the key, they found a tenant within a few day's, in simple terms i got the keys on the 11th jan and the tenants moved in by the 22rd jan. It was that quick. Chris always went an extra mile to assist me, one time he helped me take some flooring to the car after the builders left them in the flat, he also helped hoovering the wooden floor as i didn't have a hoover with me, i mean chris and his manager carly Where can u get such services, outside job description.
Always at the other end, would always call back if he had min my calls.
Thanks Chris for 5* services

GoogleThe agent I met, George was very professional and engaging. He responded to every question asked about the property. He wasn't pushy or unnecessarily persuasive. He asked me about the specs I am looking for in a property. He's honest. He agreed when I identify a fault but equally suggest, how I can improve it. I truly wish some of the agents can emulate his honesty and candid professionalism in Sales.
I have never laughed so much. To top it all, he picked me at the Station and dropped me of at the nearest station. I was shocked. Thanks ever so much Haart Estate Agent of Colchester.

Liz was great with the initial contact we had. Then we dealt with Ryan Sheffield. He was really professional, accommodating and answered any queries we had. Ryan made sure it was a smooth process between us and the Landlady. The Haart team managed to sort it all out in such a short period and Ryan was also happy to help with filling in the forms as well as accommodating any requests.
Overall we were very happy with the experience from Ryan and the Haart team and we highly recommended them.
Thanks once again.

GoogleA quick sale.
This is the first property that I had sold in this area and chose Haart having never used any local agents previously. The sole factor for this decision was based on their track record, having sold a multiple of properties in the estate over the past 5 years that I occupied the property.
Mark Shynn was exemplary throughout.
He was able to manage the sale so that it was seamless, in what appeared to be challenging circumstances (COVID-19). He provided regular updates regarding material changes whilst always ensuring that there was a warm line of communication. Even during lockdown he was able to maintain momentum.
Would certainly recommend and do business again.

GoogleChristopher is the person who made my first experience a whole lot better, he is one of the main reasons I stayed with haart and my flat. He is very trust worthy and keeps his word. Works very hard to keep his customers happy, very responsive and patient, also made me happy and laugh when things were a little stressful . If everyone here is like Chris I highly recommend haart and will always be using them. :)
