GoogleDurden and Hunt acted on our behalf on the sale of our house. They were great from the very start generating a lot of interest in the property and getting us numerous offers within a few days of the property going on the market and then being of great help throughout the legal conveyancing. James and the other guys at the Ongar branch did a great job and we would highly recommend their services.

GoogleJames Gibbon and Grace Shepherd of Durden & Hunt Ongar were stars! Brilliant all the way were noticeably different to previous agents Balgores Hayes who blamed the market while making us show viewers around enough times to get on our nerves . However James and Grace had bubbly personalities that made them so likeable and were chatty with viewers but also more committed to selling and James generated more viewings in three weeks than Balgores could in a year but not completely attributable to a slight price drop because James had our keys so if he had another house booked for a view, he would drop by ours with them which seemed novel to us so that was once way James attracted footfall: he may have collected one or two by car! Durden & Hunt are absolutely recommended without fault. Oh and James also successfully renegotiated our purchase price. Excellent! James's only fault is supporting West Ham but he's still on our Xmas card list! :)

GoogleWe found Durden & Hunt in Ongar provided us with an all round professional service from beginning to end. We were selling our mother's home so it was a difficult and emotional time for us both. James and Grace treated us with respect and kindness and their communication was exceptional. Having sold the property very quickly, after 15 viewings, Amanda picked up the rains to pull the sale together. We had total confidence in her knowledge and ability which was proven taking only 5 weeks from agreement of sale to exchange of contracts. What a great team! Thank you

GoogleThank you to Grace at Durden and Hunt in the Ongar office for being so professional, efficient and accommodating. She spent time to understand our needs which we really appreciated.

GoogleFrom the first time James arrived to view our property we knew we had chosen the best agent. He personally did the viewings and secured us a buyer in 2 weeks. Brilliant. Then Amanda Schiavi took over the batton and with great care enthusiasm got us over the finish line in super quick time. A big thankyou to you guys and would definitely recommend the whole team at Duden Ongar

GoogleDurden & Hunt are exceptional estate agents . We were looked after by James Gibbon who managed our sale from start to finish with professionalism and care . No request was too small or too large for him to deal with. Our buyers even commented to me how good our agent was. Currently I’m never moving again , however if we ever do we would definitely be contacting James first !

GoogleWe have had the pleasure of working with Durden & Hunt for around 4 years now. They are the friendliest, most professional & honest estate agents we have ever worked with. Their forward thinking approach completely separates them from the competition.. These guys truly are at the forefront of modern estate agency, they move with the times, & deliver un-matched results within the industry. I could not recommend them enough!!

GoogleI’m writing of my experience with Durden and Hunt who have recently ‘attempted’ to sell my property. My ex partner decided to list our property with Durden and Hunt back in March, they came round and took photos and the house was listed on Rightmove. As a co-owner of the property I would have expected to have been sent a contract, made to sign a contract and agree to a companies Terms of Business before listing the house and as a minimum, been made aware of any viewings and/or feedback as a result of this. Despite numerous phone calls into Durden and Hunt, I only started receiving communication on the 6th October when I again queried for any updates. Prior to this I was only receiving feedback from my ex-partner. It appears they only felt it necessary to speak to him and I have been made to feel like a second class citizen. I was even in the property for one of the viewings and the Estate Agent didn’t even know my name. I’m not sure if it’s some sort of prejudice against women, or just incompetence but I have been made to feel less important than my ex in the process of trying to sell our house. All in all I have come away feeling extremely disappointed with the service the had provided.

GoogleAbsolutely amazing Real Estate Agents. Going above and beyond doesn't even come close. We have just been through a very complex sale and Alex Durden has delivered time and time again. Always on board and up to speed on the process regardless of what other work he has going on. James Hunt and Ellis equally dedicated themselves to our sale. Extremely professional and on point every time. Alex, we cannot thank you enough. Keep doing what you are doing - you are wonderful. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Would recommend Durden and Hunt every time.

GoogleDurden & Hunt sold my family home in Woodford Green in THREE days for £30K over asking price, couldn't be happier with the unparalleled level of service provided by Alex & James and also the rest of the team who supported my family throughout the sale. The continued support in locating a new property and working closely with the other agents to insure that the move was as smooth as possible made us feel as if they were deserving more than our fee. In future, all sales from our family will run through Durden & Hunt and I would like to publicly thank them for being professional, punctual and offering a great value for the service offered.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
