GoogleMe and my girlfriend have just brought our first house. So naturally there were a lot of things that we didnโt know. So in other words we were clueless. The idea of getting a mortgage was completely daunting until we spoke to Shellie- May, from our very first phone call with her she immediately made us feel a whole lot more at ease about the process. She explained everything so well, even I understood which is saying a lot ๐ Shellie- May was so responsive and helpful and always at the end of the phone even if it was just for the simplest of questions. I couldnโt recommend Connells and Shellie- May highly enough. It made buying our first home even more enjoyable and whole lot more stress free!

GoogleThe team at Connells have been absolutely brilliant for us. Paul popped over for a valuation on our property and we got a really good feeling from his visit after seeing a couple of other agents beforehand. Ever since that point, we haven't looked back. Mary has been extremely professional in progressing our sale with regular updates and very quick responses to any queries or concerns. She has been in regular communication up and down the chain to ensure things are on track and would always put in the extra time and effort to look after us as their clients. a 5 star review well-deserved, highly recommend these guys!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleShellie-May has been an absolute superstar through the whole process, updating us back to back and doing her maximum as a mortgage adviser to get us the best rates for our mortgage, even if that meant for her to be waiting for 2h30 on the phone with a lender every day! As first time buyers, we had no clue of what the process would be, she made it so simple, explaining every steps with ease and turned it into the most exciting experience of our life when I know it might the most stressful for some people... Managing this all through the pandemic and allowing us to have the keys of our house less than 4 months after our offer was accepted. Incredibly amazing, patient, tenacious and friendly mortgage adviser. Would absolutely recommend and not go anywhere else.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality

GoogleI can not thank Shannon, Mary and Paul at Connells enough for the time and effort they put into making sure the sale of my property went smoothly by good communication and keeping me updated with the sale and purchase of the properties. When they was a problem in the final stages (no fault of Connells) they went the extra mile and some with Mary coming to my home so i could sign documents on my purchase so that we all could complete successfully and all in these challenging times. Highly recommend this professional team.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleConnells were not my Estate agent, they sold the house I was buying, I have to say that Mary was brilliant, I had lots of contact with her and she really kept me informed of how things were progressing, I was so impressed with her dedication, I hardly had any contact with my estate agent and was very impressed that Mary took the time to contact me so much, I would definitely go with connells next time.

GoogleI would like to commend Connells on the excellent service they provided us with the selling of both our flat and the New Home that we are purchasing. Although we did not buy the New Home through them, they kept us informed /updated regularly on both the sale and purchase. Their communication skills are second to none. They also provided their service in a friendly manner. I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them.
