Could not fault the service of Ann Stobbart and her team at JW Wood in selling a property. Living outside of the local area, Ann and her team made the process easy and undertook the viewings with prospective buyers. This resulted in multiple viewings, a number of offers, and a sale (subject to contract) within 2-3 weeks.

A huge thank you to Ann for managing the sale of my property, and to Jonathan, Julie and Sarah too, and all at JW Wood, Durham. I definitely recommend JW Woods as an Estate Agent for selling property. They kept me informed and up to date at every stage. Thanks so much for all your help!

We have been dealing with JW Wood over the past few months. We have found that Ellie Bass, our property manager has dealt with our questions efficiently and promptly. Guiding us through what has been a tricky process at times. Thank you Ellie.

Thanks to JW Wood for selling my house. Wasn’t plain sailing but they helped with a little glitch and the rest went through pretty smooth. Thank you

Having found a buyer and agreed the sale in a very short space of time I have only good things to say about JW Wood.

Unprofessional viewing experience and poor handling

Disappointing experience. Took time off work to attend a viewing, only to have the agent discuss a live offer with the seller in front of me during the appointment. It made for a really awkward and unprofessional situation. While they later acknowledged it could have been handled differently, they ultimately stood by their actions. Needless to say, I wouldn’t feel confident trusting them to handle a sale or purchase. Basic discretion during viewings shouldn’t be too much to expect.

I had great service from All at J W Woods. From firstly purchasing my home through them. Julie who showed me around informing me of everything I asked. To the staff keeping me uptown date with my purchase. Again when I sold the property (I wanted the garden to build my new home in). Gary visiting and going through the sales procedure. Again, Julie bringing a seller to view and helping with the sale. Tony keeping me upto date with the seller this time. My whole experience was easy and smooth. Thank you to all staff at J W Woods

Rude,Unhelpful

Rude,Unhelpful, It is because of staff like this that give estate agents the reputation of the most hated people to do business with, I feel sorry for the people whose property they are selling because they are no good at dealing with purchasers, I would never even consider dealing with these people again and strongly advise anyone else to so the same as there are hundreds of estate agents to chose from.
