These guys weren’t even my estate agent, they were my vendors’, but they were absolutely fantastic, from arranging my initial viewing at very short notice and giving me good advice at the offer stage, right the way through to reassuring me when everything turned out to be considerably more complicated than I’d first thought. They kept me, and my purchase, on the road throughout, and had contingency plans for what we’d do if things didn’t go the way we wanted them to. Hannah and Michelle were excellent, and I can’t thank them enough.

Tony Hunter has been absolutely fantastic throughout the sale of our property. He has kept us informed from beginning to end, and we have had more updates from him than our solicitor! He has always been polite, professional, funny and puts you at ease. He thoroughly deserves recognition and we would not hesitate to recommend him.

The process of selling our apartment has taken quite some time. Throughout, Neil and Debs have done their utmost to progress the sale and eventually we got there. Their professionalism in dealing with 'time wasters', buyers and solicitors has been outstanding and they have kept us fully updated throughout the process. We can certainly recommend their work.

I had every confidence that Reeds Rains Durham would serve me well. They have helped and supported me through property challenges in the past and they did so again. Deb was very helpful, supportive and patient with my queries and the rest of the close-knit team knew who I was and the background to my sale. Thank you Durham Reeds Rains.

1 star is too kind. We found this amazing house and after so many viewings we thought this was it. Reeds and Rains are unprofessional to say the least. We were completely disappointed with them after how they handled us. We did what everybody does, once we saw the house we instantly called them and this is how it went: 1st call: Hello? Yes sorry the person (can’t remember her name) handling that specific house is out at the moment. Leave us your details we’ll call you back. We never got a call back. No worries people forget it’s alright we’ll call again. 2nd call: Hello? Oh yes I remember well that person is not in again (really?). There will be an online viewing don’t worry we will contact you. A week and no call back. 3rd call: Yes? Oh that house? Sorry someone took it of the market (what the actual hell?). At this point we told them to keep us in mind for future houses. She replied yes yes and hang up. Seriously is this how they handle people? Completely disappointing and we will never use Reeds and Rains bad and unprofessional. I guess if you know a friend of a friend you get the house you want. Good luck with them though I suggest you avoid them.

Naoimh Leonard of the Ormeau Road has been brilliant at facilitating two rental properties for two family members. Naoimh kept us informed and the whole process was very smooth. A very confident and pleasant person to deal with.

My husband and I very recently bought a new home with Reeds Rains and we absolutely cannot fault their service at all. All of the staff, especially Gemma, were extremely helpful and could not do enough to assist us and the sellers to get the transaction through smoothly and efficiently. At all times they were easily reachable and had time to assist us, and passed messages between us and the sellers quickly and accurately. Many thanks again from both of us for such a great job.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

From the social distanced valuation visit, at which a realistic valuation was given, through production of sellers pack and brochure to providing a closing meter reading, the service from Reed Rains in selling our property has been excellent. We were very well informed of the various sales options, including modern auction. The facility to drop off keys and documents at a partner agency near where we now live was much appreciated while trying to minimise travel. All along the way, the team kept us updated on progress. Many thanks to Gem, Lucy, Lauren and colleagues for their very professional and friendly service.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

It has taken a very long time for us to buy our very special home in Durham. We have been kept informed of progress by Neil or Debs, even when there was no progress! We credit Debs for her determination and persistence in finally getting our purchase across the line. Thank you all.

The Reeds Rains Durham were wonderful. Tony Hunter and his team took us through the sale process from listing to completion very professionally. They are great communicators, have access to a huge list of buyers and their professional photographer made our property look very appealing Thanks again, Tony

My house sale proved to be a far longer journey than anticipated, taking over a year from initial listing to completion. Neil and Debs at Reeds Rains were excellent, helping me through the many ups and downs during that time. Exceptional service Thank You.

We used Reeds Rains in Durham after failing to get much interest in our property through a different estate agent. Reeds Rains were in a different league in terms of how they put together the ad and customer service. The property sold quickly.
