It was wonderful working with Jacky to sell our home and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She made the whole experience so much less stressful than anticipated, and was always on hand to ease the process and help it run as smoothly as possible. Moving is never easy and Jacky’s expertise was invaluable.

A big thank you to Lisa Harvey who has provided brilliant customer service! We had a very quick turn around while moving house and Lisa was able to get a management pack across for our previous property immediately and quickly dealt with urgent requests from our solicitor. Thank you so much!

Pete was brilliant, very supportive and helpful throughout the entire process. Don’t know how we would have managed without him.

Both Marie and Kirsten have been excellent regarding the sale of our house. I cannot imagine any other estate agent who would been able to support us in the same way, particularly as aspects were quite tricky requiring them to chase the buyers on our behalf, on multiple occasions. Their marketing process also was second to none with use of videos and social media, such that our house sold within the week. Cannot thank them both enough.

We tasked Marie Fitz of By Design Homes to sell our property, above a minimum value and within a six-week period. This was so we could purchase the house of our dreams that was on the market, knowing we had to react quickly. Exercising her expertise, Marie was successful, she found a buyer within a few weeks who offered an acceptable price. She kept us informed throughout the process, was always available, and her ‘bubbly’ enthusiasm was infectious. She was the consummate professional.

Marie is truly inspirational ! I feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Marie. From our initial introduction it’s been positivity every single step of the way. Marie always makes herself available, and with her vast experience, her drive, her eye for detail, and coupled with her warm personality makes Marie a true standout champion! Literally within 18 working days, Marie has successfully steered the sale of our home at a higher price than we anticipated, through to exchange today. “If you want the best, forget the rest, contact Marie”

I cannot recommend Marie Fritz from the Northampton office of the By Design Estate Agents highly enough. We recently purchased a house where Marie was the Estate Agent and with her help we went from Offer accepted to in the house within 22 working days. It was a wild ride, but Marie was extremely good at guiding us through the process and answering our questions. It was clear also that she was working well with the vendors and having that high level of communication between parties is what allowed the process to move quite so efficiently. Marie also did all of this in an extremely personable manner which always makes something like making a large investment such as buying a house much more comfortable. I have recommended Marie to several friends and relatives since we worked on our purchase and will continue to do so. It is worth noting that although Marie Fritz is based in the By Design Northamptonshire office that our purchase is in Bedfordshire and I know from conversations that Marie also works in Buckinghamshire. Marie was happy to travel to ye olde Beds for us and our vendors so don't let that put you off if you are not in Northamptonshire itself.

Marie Fritz was not our estate agent. She was acting on behalf of the couple whose house we were purchasing. From the start she was very professional - the information she gathered, photos & videos that she arranged for the house, we're all first class. If we had any questions, she had the answer or set wheels in motion to find it in no time. She set up a WhatsApp group between us & was available to contact 24/7, answering when she could, even over the weekend. She kept in touch with the various buyers/sellers, estate agents & solicitors within the chain, updating & chasing when necessary. The whole process took longer than we would have liked (through no fault of Marie's) but she worked tirelessly till the end. We are more than happy to recommend her & give her a five star review.

Marie acts for the seller of the property that I am purchasing and I am very impressed by the way Marie has gone above and beyond and communicated with all parties within the chain, her efficiency and professionalism are the reason that we have exchanged contracts and avoided usual long delays, even though she was not my agent, she still managed to keep me and the seller informed at all time. If I was to sell a property I will no doubt be using Marie.

Marie is a very different type of agent all together. After many bad experiences with the 'typical' high street agents who had no communication skills and where the sale kept falling through, having Marie was a breath of fresh air. She kept me up to date with everything, was always a phone call away 24/7 and always had my best interest at heart. She would go out of her way to make sure we found the right buyer and that it actually completed. She would always give me prompt viewing feedback and I felt like I had someone on my team who I could trust. She is more expensive than the typical high street agent but she is 100% worth the money. You will have a much smoother sale and more peace of mind with Marie. There is no comparison between Marie and other estate agents. She's one in a million and worth every penny. Thank you Marie!

Marie was so helpful throughout the process of buying our house. Relocating 3 hours away with a young family was a daunting task, but from the moment of viewing the property Marie was with us every step of the way, enabling a further channel of communication to nudge the process along. Her personable and proactive approach was a breath of fresh air and we are now delighted to be in the house (14 weeks from offer to completion). Thank you Marie!

There is no doubt, the sale was a challenge with our property being somewhat niche and listed. The agent, Marie Fritz stuck to the task with unbelievable enthusiasm throughout a prolonged sale process. Marie was tenacious and so organised in bringing solicitors buyers and sellers together once a sale was agreed. I am so pleased with Marie’s professionalism and commitment and would have no hesitation in recommending

Marie always goes above and beyond. Not only with the selling of a property but the search for your next home. Marie always seems to be one step ahead of any problems, always at the end of the phone to calm those nervous days, to offer advice and guidance. Marie is the voice of reason when needed. Would highly recommend Marie for that personal luxury estate agent experience.

I purchased via Marie at By Design (Northamptonshire) it is fair to say she did an outstanding job of navigating a turbulent purchase, negotiation and completion's process. Due to personal circumstance and the queries process my views on the property, changed from time to time and Marie managed to complexities and the smorgasbord of my emotions. So well done and thank you for keeping it on track to completion. Mike

Exceptional Service and Expertise

We had the absolute pleasure of having Marie Fritz represent our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent. From start to finish, she was clear, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the industry. Her calm and friendly demeanor made the entire process smooth and stress-free, while her sharp insights and recommendations always came at the right moment. Marie truly goes above and beyond for her clients. She kept us well-informed every step of the way, ensuring that we understood everything clearly. Her communication was always prompt and transparent, which gave us great confidence throughout the process. If you’re looking for an agent who is not only experienced but also genuinely cares about her clients, Marie is the one. We are beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-tier real estate professional.
