Really great experience with Carman Friend. The whole team are great at what they do. A huge thank you to Sam for getting our home expertly valued, marketed and sold within days. Thanks to Gareth for the fantastic photos. Finally, special thanks to Emma for her tenacity, positivity, and brilliant communication throughout. She kept us updated, stayed on top of everything, and was so supportive during a stressful process. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for more, highly recommend Carman Friend.

We recently sold our house with Carman Friend. From start to finish they were all professional , responsive, and genuinely supportive. Steph Mulholland was our agent and she kept us informed every step of the way and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We felt in very safe hands and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the whole team at Carman Friend. We now get to live in our dream forever home thanks to them πŸ₯‚

We bought our house through Carmen Friend six years ago and had such a smooth experience that when it came time to sell, there was no question about who we would choose. Emma and the whole team at Carmen Friend were absolutely incredible from start to finish. The communication was excellent throughout, and everything was handled professionally and efficiently. They made the whole process feel straightforward and stress-free. We couldn’t recommend Emma and the team at Carmen Friend highly enough.

I bought a house advertised by Carman Friend and viewed a few other properties with them along the way. The viewing team were great and really easy to deal with. Emma was especially helpful during the offer and sales process, keeping everything clear and well communicated throughout - moreso than my own solicitor!

We have just sold our home to a lovely couple and Carman Friend managed the sale. Everything was flawless from start to finish. It all felt so straightforward. Emma kept us up to date all the way through the process. I cannot recommend them enough. I wouldn’t use anyone else. The whole team spoke to you like they have known you for years… it was so lovely. Super friendly.

Bad management, miscommunication and delays led to loss of sale.

Found a house I loved through Carman Friend. Some complex issues were raised in the survey, including a missing party wall. The seller was covering this, then Carman Friend pushed this back onto me a week later with no explanation. It changed multiple times across a few weeks: seller arranging again, then me arranging but seller paying, then instead a price drop for me to arrange post-sale, only if we agree to complete within 6 weeks.

What a company!!!! Having purchased 4 homes in the last 7 years, I've experienced a fair few agents. This company is far superior to any that have come before. We weren't fortunate enough to be selling with CF (we would not hesitate to use them) we were the buyers in this experience. They were passionate, friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable, dependable and a joy! Emma is beyond brilliant at her job, proactive, detailed, professional and hilarious! This lady will chase all the professionals in the chain, and hold them accountable. She will get you all of the answers you need, and she will get you over the finish line, while holding your hand. Honestly the very best service I have every experienced, and I would send any friend or family member their way, if they were needing an agent. Thank you guys, absolute winner's πŸ†

Emma looked after the sale of Grove Farm and was a solid point of contact from start to finish. She was approachable, quick to respond, and proactive about chasing updates and keeping everyone aligned. The transaction had the usual moving parts, but Emma’s communication made it easier to manage and reduced the stress. Thank you for your help throughout.

Emma and Sam did a fantastic job in helping us to sell our property within a short time. The process was seamless, right through to listing the property, answering any queries we had swiftly and then completing the exchange. It made things a lot less stressful. We will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks a lot!

I sold my house through Carman Friend last year and they were absolutely brilliant. A quick sale was achived, above the asking price. Everybody is professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. Emma was particularly excellent to deal with though the post sale agreed process. I have dealt with many of Chester's Estate Agents and Carman Friend are in my opinion the best. I happily recommend them to friends and family and would only use them to sell a property.

Dear Sami I would like to thank you for everything you have done to help sell mum and dads house in Becketts Lane. It has been a very sad and emotional time for us all. You were truly exceptional. When we met at the property I was impressed with the level of knowledge and the amount of data that you had about the market. It was certainly a no brainier for us to pick Carmen Friend, not being over powering but honest with what they offer. You delivered excellent communication skills and kept me updated with the progress of selling the house. I felt comfortable talking to you which helped me during this difficult time. I would recommend Carmen Friend Estates to anyone who is selling their property and wish you all the very best for the future.

We had a very positive experience with this small, local family-run estate agency. After attending three viewings with them, we decided to proceed with purchasing one of the properties they showed us. Throughout the process, the team was consistently honest, professional, and highly responsive. Communication was particularly impressive! they replied promptly to both emails and phone calls, and were always patient and willing to assist, regardless of how many times we reached out. Never delayed any updates from the chain! What stood out most was their transparency. They provided clear, up-to-date information at every stage, with no hidden issues, which allowed us to make a fully informed decision with confidence. They also demonstrated strong commitment when marketing their properties. During one of our viewings, they openly shared that the house had already been viewed 26 times without receiving any offers. Despite this, they continued to actively promote the property rather than neglect it, which reflects their dedication compared to some other agents. Overall, their responsiveness, honesty, and work ethic set them apart from other estate agents we dealt with. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
