TrustpilotWe got a sale in good time at a fair price
We had a retirement flat to sell. Anyone who knows the mess the retirement home sector is in currently would understand how appreciative we are that Rook Matthews Sayer got us a sale over a very reasonable time-frame at a price very close to the figure at which we originally marketed the flat. We were happy how RMS presented the flat on their sales particulars. Communication was good and RMS have excellent sales staff. RMS made a good number of viewings and found us a buyer. We’ve just completed. For this we’re extremely grateful.

I came to RMS Whitley Bay after offering on a house through their Gosforth office. Alison came out to my house very quickly and got it on the market within 2 days. Lisa took over and helped me achieve asking price only a week later. Thereafter, Suzanne was instrumental in keeping the large chain together and securing our dream home. We could not be more grateful to the team at RMS Whitley Bay.

When purchasing our first home we had the pleasure of working with Neil Walton who helped us with not only our Mortgage, but with every question we had throughout the process. He was extremely quick to respond and always went the extra mile to help us.Outside of being great at his job, Neil is also a pleasure to work with on a personal level. Could not recommend him as your mortgage advisor more.

Fully supported all the way through by Alister at rook matthews sayer right from securing a mortgage in principle certificate through too making an accepted offer and completion, we felt supported with all the advice we required... such as mortgage rates/insurances/time frames and explaing the processes...We were well communicated in every acsepct of purchasing a property and securing a second mortgage on our current home.

TrustpilotLook no further than Neil Walton at the Gosforth branch
If you're looking for a mortgage advisor, look no further than Neil Walton at the Gosforth Rook Matthews Sayers branch! He is absolutely fantastic in all areas of the job, from advice about anything and everything (which was perfect for me as a first time buyer!) to chasing solicitors. Neil is great at answering the phone and emails - you're never left waiting ages for responses. I've never not had a call returned or email responded to by him. On top of his exceptional service, he is the nicest guy you can ever meet and no task is too big or too small for him. I can't thank Neil enough for the service he has given me, I am very greatful and feel very lucky to have chosen such a great person to help me. Neil I am going to miss chatting to you, you've been great throughout the whole process and I can't thank you enough!

Trustpilot5 Star Service From Alistair
Me and my partner came to Mortgage Advisor Alistair Bowman to help us with our first mortgage as first time buyers. We didn’t have a clue what to expect but Alistair made the process so easy and stress free. He was always there to answer any questions and was so professional and friendly. I cannot recommend Alistair more to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage as he made our process so seamless. Thank you RMS and especially Alistair!! We will be back to see you for our next mortgage :)

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alistair Bowman, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. He took the time to clearly explain all of my options, ensuring I understood the pros and cons of each one without ever feeling overwhelmed.

TrustpilotOne star as zero is not an option
One star as zero is not an option. Little effort shown in trying to sell my flat, which has been on the market for 14 weeks. One viewing 3 days after it went on the market. The team rarely keep in touch and don't always reply to emails. All in all, a very poor service.
Ben · 20 July 2026
Agent replied · 23 September 2026
Dear Ben,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your experience and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
We completely understand your frustration regarding the level of interest your property has received. The current property market is challenging, with buyer activity slower across the board, and unfortunately this can impact the number of viewings generated, regardless of the marketing in place.
However, we do feel it is important to clarify the extensive marketing and proactive service that has been provided throughout the instruction. Your property has been advertised on the three largest property portals, including Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket. We have also upgraded the listing with premium advertising to maximise its visibility to potential buyers. In addition, the property has been promoted through our social media channels, displayed in our branch window, and regularly matched to our active applicant database, with follow-up calls made to gauge interest and encourage viewings.
While we appreciate that the level of interest has not met your expectations, we do not believe there has been a failure in service. Our team has remained committed to actively marketing your property and exploring every available avenue to generate enquiries.
Our goal remains the same as yours: to secure the best possible buyer at the best possible price. We understand that this process can feel particularly disappointing when results are slower than hoped, but please be assured that we will continue working proactively on your behalf.
Should you wish to discuss any additional marketing or concerns, please contact us directly.
Kind regards,
RMS

Recently purchased through RMS Blyth branch. Cannot thank Dawn enough for her fantastic professional and friendly service. Dawn was a real support throughout. This is the second time I have used RMS Blyth, having sold via them just over three years ago, the service then was also spot on from inital meeting, to the listing, accompanied viewings and communications. Highly recommend.

I dealt mostly with Tracey from setting up the viewing to collecting the keys to my new home. Tracey was amazing throughout, she kept me informed at every stage & actually called me before my solicitor did to confirm the sale had completed! Very helpful and understanding, Tracey is an asset to your business & I can’t thank her enough for making the purchase of my new home an easy process.

TrustpilotFantastic Communication and Overall Experience
Our move was challenging to say the least thanks to a number of hurdles and difficulties outside the control of Rook Matthews Blyth, but they were first class in making sure our move got over the finishing line. I threw my toys out of the pram a few times along the way and I received a very professional, reassuring and prompt response. I always had the feeling that the staff genuinely cared about delivering a great service and that this is more than just a 9-5 for them. I’m hoping to not move for a long long time, but if I do, they will be my agent of choice. Thanks to Dawn and her colleagues for all of your help. Drew Edminson

TrustpilotThank you ladies
The marketing of our house was great at the start, quick and easy and lots of viewings however hit a stale mate and we ended up needing a second estate agent to market the house. Once the offer was in, issues with information not being shared throughout the chain however on the final 4 weeks before exchange the girls, Victoria and Emma were incredible!! They were on the ball, they were proactive and they were very reassuring! They did absolutely everything they could in those last 4 weeks!!

We were very pleased with the service we received when selling our mam’s house following her death. It was a difficult and emotional time for our family, but the estate agent was professional, compassionate and supportive throughout the whole process. They kept us informed, made everything as straightforward as possible and helped take some of the stress away. We really appreciate everything they did and would happily recommend their services.
