We have used Nielson's twice now for buying and selling and they have done a terrific job both times. We most recently worked with Rhonda Gunn to sell our property. She was consistently quick to communicate with us, viewers and the purchaser's solicitor. Her professionalism and encouragement gave us confidence throughout the process. Would absolutely recommend!

Thank you, Max, for taking the time to share such a fantastic review. We’re delighted to hear that your experiences with Neilsons have been so positive, both previously and during your recent sale. Rhonda will be thrilled to know her communication, professionalism and support made such a difference throughout the process. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your recommendation.

Fantastic experience selling my mum’s property with Neilsons. From the initial consultation with Lewis, through to Eve managing the marketing, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Robyn did a great job with the photography, and the admin team were always helpful when arranging viewing appointments. A special mention to our sales negotiator, Rhonda, who kept us regularly updated, shared feedback from viewings, and clearly explained what to expect as we approached the closing date. The whole process felt seamless, like a well-oiled machine. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Neilsons to family and friends. We’ve now moved on to the conveyancing team and hope the next stage will be just as smooth.

Exceptional Service

I would not hesitate to recommend Neilsons if you are considering selling your home. We used them for the recent sale and purchase of our flat in Edinburgh. The Estate Agency team are amazing, the marketing materials and strategy that Amy put together were second to none. Everyone that we dealt with in this department were exceptional. I need to make a special mention of Kirsten our sales negotiator who is exceptional at her job and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were then passed to the conveyancing team, who had a pretty high bar after such a fantastic experience already. But Dave, Diane and Emily were more than up to the task! It ended up being a less than straight forward and slightly complicated sale, but Dave and co kept me informed the entire way, worked tirelessly and pushed it all to completion. I would not hesitate to recommend Neilsons and am so happy that we chose to go with them. Thanks for all your hard work and for making a daunting experience so much more enjoyable!

Cannot recommend Neilsons solicitors and estate agents highly enough. The professionalism, expertise and standard of service provided is exceptionally high and over the 20 years that my family and I have used Neilsons we’ve received a consistently high standard of service. The staff are a pleasure to speak with and are all very knowledgable and go the extra mile to help. I have dealt with Kirsten as my sales negotiator and Kirsten really is the best there is. She is super efficient, compassionate and nothing you ask is too much for her; she always goes above and beyond.

From walking through the door of Neilsons in St John's Road, Edinburgh, email correspondence, and phone calls, etc. The sale of my property in Edinburgh has been straightforward and a success! All staff that I have dealt with have been professional, polite, and personable. It has been a pleasure to do business with real people that know how to do their jobs and treat you properly. I would not hesitate to engage Neilsons again if I had another property to sell. Thank you. A happy house seller!

I cannot thank Rhonda

I cannot thank Rhonda, Amy, Megan and the rest of the Neilsons Sales team in Corstorphine who helped us get our house on the market and get an offer which we accepted on our house in a quick time. The team at Neilsons kept us informed at all stages and were quick to respond on any calls/emails sent. Thank you could not have hoped for anything better

The only choice in Edinburgh if you have an estate agents or solicitor service need.

The care, personal approach, knowledge and attention to detail of Diane and Kirsten was exemplary. They were professional yet very personal and conducted their business with humour and professionalism. If I was lucky enough to have another property in Edinburgh to sell or buy they would be my first point of call.

Neilsons have been very supportive in helping me sell my property. Selling a property can be a bit overwhelming (it is my first time doing so), but with Neilsons I have felt throughout as though the process has been in safe hands. It has been a pleasure to be guided through the steps of selling by Kirsten Olverman, Amy Howard, and Jade McGraw. I have appreciated their friendliness, efficiency, and professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend the services of Neilsons to others looking to sell their property.

Our property sale turned out to be tricky due to a competitive seller’s market but Kirsten at Neilsons was brilliant at keeping us up to date, discussing sales strategies with us and helping choose the right approach.

Used Neilsons to wind up my father's estate. The account was passed around like a hot potato and eventually they tried to close the account without finishing, they even tried to get me to give the land away so they didn't have to deal with it. They were still happy to take the money without finishing the job. They chose one lawyer in the USA and when he stopped communicating with them they wouldn't find another. I refused to sign it off so they just closed it anyway. Leaving me ( grieving) to deal with the most complicated part on my own. Took £24,000 for the privilege. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Neilsons did a great job selling our property. From start to finish their communication, skills and local knowledge led to a successful and stress free sale of our property. Kirsten Olverman especially, was fantastic, she negotiated on our behalf and managed to get us the sell that we needed.

Contacted Neilsons and within 3 weeks, our house had been surveyed, photographed, marketed and sold! Very professional throughout, from an informal valuation and advice from Amy, various members of the sales team dealing with viewing arrangements and, finally, Kristen dealing with the sale
