Foresters reviews

I found Forresters service excellent from start to finish. They appear to have an intelligent and intuitive approach to matching buyers to properties and my home sold almost before they had marketed it. I was very fortunate to get asking price and encouraged neither to market too low or too high. Nicola was very well informed about local trends and availability of similar properties. She was responsive - and all staff seemed to be aware of my property and its situation as it progressed. Communication was very good - Nicola kept me updated on developments as she became aware of them. I was very comfortable and confident (having previously experienced purchasing my home through Forresters) to engage them in selling my home.

When faced with having to sell my mother’s bungalow as she was sadly moved into a care home, we didn’t know where to start. After finding a 5⭐ Google review from someone in a similar situation, we decided to entrust Foresters to guide us through the process, and they did not disappoint. From our very first meeting with Phil, his honesty and empathy towards our situation shone through. He has a wonderful ability to really listen to your needs while also helping you to understand the market and focus on what matters. Viewings were well managed (with just one small hiccup along the way), until they found us the ideal buyer at the right price, exactly what we had hoped for. The whole team was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the entire journey. Exceptional service from start to finish. We would highly recommend Foresters to anyone buying or selling a property in the Heathfield area!

Foresters have just supported my parents in buying a delightful property and as a family, we cannot rate their professionalism, caring attitude and attention to detail highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble and they ensured that the whole process went as smoothly as possible. A huge thank you to Phil and everyone at the Foresters office; we would not hesitate in recommending you.

I have both bought and sold a house through Foresters and can thoroughly recommend them. Their agents are friendly, professional and enthusiastic, and know the property business inside out. Phil Hutchins was really committed to selling our cottage and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. The supporting staff in the office were also extremely helpful.

Phil and his team at Foresters stood out from the start as the best estate agents in Heathfield. We've used several, and it was by far the smoothest and nicest experience we've had! We had a simple chain that got tricky really fast but they managed to pick up the phone, chase bits regularly and email back promptly! (even during staff annual leave) Communication and the friendly nature of everyone were the main reasons we got the chain over the line! Thank you from both of us!

Thank you so much to Phil who has guided us through the fastest sale this century! We knew we had a tight time frame and Phil has been incredible with getting everything done. No question was too odd and Phil was great at keeping us up to date with everything. I don’t think we are ever going to want to sell our new home, but if we do, we will be coming back to Foresters!

I think that we have the record for Phil’s lengthiest case! That said, none of this was of Foresters making- rather buyers further down the chain. We had the most patient buyer for our lovely late mother’s bungalow and, after nearly 2 1/2 years , we have finally completed. Phil patiently and calmly guided us through the whole process. His efforts to ‘chase down the line’ were above and beyond. He communicated each step clearly, was a great sounding block, showed empathy and understanding of our situation and is to be applauded for his tenacity. As a family we have used Foresters several times over the years and indeed Mike Fordham was instrumental in selling our family home when Mum decided to finally downsize. It is fitting that Foresters take credit for completing the last sale. Phil was our main point of contact, but everyone in the office knew us, were appraised of our situation and always offered advice, passing on messages which were promptly actioned. They say that undertaking a house sale is one of the most stressful things to face in life and I wouldn’t disagree. As an executor I wanted to represent my siblings to the best of my ability. Phil quietly lead us through the process and eventually we achieved our goal. Thank you Foresters, especially Phil, and we wish our buyer every happiness in their new home.

We have recently moved into the area having searched for a long time for our perfect home. We met Nicola on a number of house viewings and she was always warm and friendly. We were pleased that she was the one to introduce us to our new home and she was really supportive and helpful throughout quite a challenging time. She liaised with people on our behalf as we were up in Nottingham and it made life so much easier for us. All the staff in the office are friendly and helpful and we would wholeheartedly recommend Foresters.

Exceptional service from start to finish, couldn't have asked for more. Professional, committed, knowledgeable, empathetic, supportive and calm in the face of very trying circumstances during an extremely protracted sale. The whole team were great, always knew what was happening and Nicola was an absolute star, always keeping us informed and assured and going way beyond the call of duty. Thank you, the best estate agent experience I have ever had, and there have been a few!

Used foresters to sell my flat, as with all leasehold sales many ups and downs but the only people keeping me updated and pushing things along were Foresters. Phil was so helpful and on the phone/email with every update and always ready to …

We sold our house through Foresters and couldn't recommend them highly enough for their amazing customer service and efficiency . Phil was compassionate, understanding, incredibly helpful and couldn't do enough to re assure us during our sale and if we ever went back to market we wouldn't hesitate in using Foresters and hopefully Phil. Highly recommended and hugely grateful for their work.

I found Foresters Estate Agent very helpful. My mum's bungalow took a long time to go through for reasons out of the estate agents control. Phil kept me and my brother regularly informed on the progress of the bungalow.

I had an excellent experience buying through Foresters. As a first-time buyer, I had plenty of questions and uncertainties, but the team guided me through every step. They clearly explained what to expect, kept me consistently updated, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended.

I used Foresters after other agents let me down to sell my rented flat. Excellent service from Phil and everyone at the agents. They worked extremely hard and kept me informed of all the ups and downs along with chasing both sides to get the sale past the winning point. I would highly recommend Foresters to anyone in the area.

I am so glad that I used Foresters to sell my property. Phil came out to view the property . Left him to do all the advertising . I was so surprised the first person to view the property offer was put in accepted. Sale completed . Would use them again.

On day of completion had been contacted by solicitors and other estate agency to say everything’s done, waited ages for foresters and nothing had to chase up ourselves as we Litterally had no where to go with all our stuff, get to the property to find previous owner had left lots of old stuff in loft garden down side of bungalow, estate agents hadn’t made sure property was empty, someone popped by to have a look but that’s all nothing was done about it and also forgetting are welcome package which we never recieved, wouldn’t Reccomend
