GoogleI have had fantastic service from the team
at Richard James Estate Agents in Grange Drive.
Sharon Clark was excellent at her job progressing the sale of my house.
She constantly chased the solicitors involved
and kept me updated on a daily basis.
In fact without her help at one point , I donβt think the sale would have gone through.
Thank you Sharon, you kept me sane π
Richard, you can be very proud of your team.
Kind regards

GoogleWeβve recently sold our house but unfortunately still havenβt found a suitable onward. The team at Faringdon Richard James have been great - especially Jade who has been keeping us in the loop with any potential properties, showing us around some and keeping us up to speed with progression. Itβs been a very stressful time but Jade has been patient, cooperative and extremely helpful. A real asset to Richard James.

GoogleMy first experience as a home buyer and I can tell honestly that i had the best support. Jasmin Smith, even if she wasn't necessarily my account manager, because she knew me from viewings, stepped in and been there till the end. Great, fast and smooth process where I felt looked after at every single step. Highly highly recommend.

From meeting Alanah at the initial valuation, through all the viewing arrangements and then the sale progression with Amy, all of the team were extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Their support was exemplary and took away the worry and stress from the process. Thank you all. I would highly recommend Richard James.

GoogleSteve at S&W showed me around a lovely property recently... he was terrific!... not just wonderfully professional and well informed, but personable. He was able to point out carefully what the property had to offer, and how it might suit my needs, with the history and status of the building. Booking was done in a timely and helpful way (as I lived a distance from the area)... and I felt a genuine interest in helping me clarify what would work for me or not... without being pushy.... respected mine and the home owners interests.... recommended.. Thanks!

GoogleMy partner and I have visited many houses through different estate agents and out of all the houses we have viewed so far, Starking & Watson were by far the kindest, most helpful and honest estate agent we've have had so far. We had the lovely Tom Spencer show us round a house and there was no awkwardness of being followed or watched around the house but he was there to answer any questions we had. He maintained professional but personable and honest which was a rare and refreshing experience. They have kept in contact since and I am fully happy with their service.

GoogleIt is very rare these days, to find a professional who is willing to give significant amounts of time, expertise and experience, for no immediate or obvious benefit, but Steve is one of those people.
We have had several phone calls now and I have been genuinely struck by his honesty and genuineness to help me sell my property, which is in fact, out of his area. He has offered strategies I had no idea about and certainly, never offered by local estate agents I am currently dealing with.
He really does deserve recognition in a sector of life, where we spend large amounts of money on a hugely important area, such as buying a home.
