Gail Prince at Martin & Co was fabulous. She was available every step of the way and was always on top of the sale to make sure it was completed in a timely manner. Any problems were dealt with efficiently and professionally. Thank you Gail, can't wait to move into my new home! :)

Looking at past reviews, there is not much more that could be said in praise of the excellent service and communication afforded by Tim Bond whilst we were letting our flat and then by Gail Bond before and during the sale. The purchaser of the flat has already left a review and we endorse the views expressed and trust that the completed purchase achieves all expections. Our experience with Martin & Co at Poole allows us to recommend them as managing agents and as estate agents - altogether happy with what they have done for us.

I had the pleasure of working with Gail Bond at Martin & Co Poole during the recent sale of my property, and I must say it was an absolute joy from start to finish. Gail's professionalism and dedication to her work were truly commendable, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. From the very beginning, Gail impressed me with her promptness and attentiveness. She was always available to answer any questions I had and was proactive in providing regular updates on the progress of the sale. Gail's commitment to keeping me informed throughout every stage, as it made me feel confident and well-informed about the proceedings.

We live 350 miles from our rental property, so the "on the spot" service provided by Martin and Co is absolutely crucial to us. For 10 plus years they have looked after ourselves and the tenants with great care and attention.

The whole team very friendly and efficient every time. Maggie Jacques-Bissell is always on the ball and has the fastest, best repair team in town! and at good prices too. All the other staff are great, Caroline, Kayleigh and Sue are all fun, but very efficient and can be firm when required. I have been with Martin & Co for several years would always recommend them above any other. They have dealt with normal situations efficiently and one or two tricky situations exceptionally well.
