GoogleI’ve been fortunate enough to purchase my first home, and I couldn’t have found a better agent to support me through the process. Joe Gregory was my contact and explained each step of the process as we went through it while always giving me a heads up on what was next, as well as updates on the progress. Joe was also super helpful when I needed to settle some concerns on the property, taking me over and giving me to space to ease those concerns. I honestly couldn’t be more impressed with the professionalism and overall support over what’s actually a pretty stressful period. Thank you Joe!

GoogleOf the four agents interviewed for sale, Joe came across as the most sincere and honest. Open about the process and helpful in explanations. Competitive on commission. Joe also took the promo photos which honestly came out very well. Communication was great. The eventual buyers (as first timers) needed a lot of input, we felt Joe went above and beyond in this and handled the situation well. Joe could at times over explain and offer thoughts from best to worst case scenario’s…personally this wasn’t a problem for me but some might struggle more (but this is being picky). For a small office the process ran well and you do get the full attention of Joe compared to other agents where we felt it more uncertain.

GoogleWe were really impressed with Martin & Pole, and in particular Joe Gregory, who is the go-to person for selling houses in the Maiden Erlegh area. From start to finish the whole process of selling our house was as painless as possible. Joe kept us fully informed and was quick to ensure any queries were passed on and dealt with promptly. Absolutely 5 star service - thank you.

GoogleBuying our first home was such a big moment for us, and we’re so grateful to Joe from Martin and Pole for making it such a positive experience. From the very beginning, Joe was friendly, supportive, and incredibly patient. He always kept us updated, explained everything clearly, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process.
Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his genuine care and professionalism really stood out. Thanks to Joe’s help, what could’ve been a stressful first-time experience turned into something exciting and enjoyable. We’re absolutely thrilled with our new home and can’t thank Joe enough for being such a big part of making it happen!
We’d wholeheartedly recommend Joe and the Martin and Pole team to anyone buying or selling, especially first-time buyers. You’ll be in safe hands!

I had a fantastic experience buying my home through Martin & Pole in Earley. From the outset, the service was exceptional, professional, patient, and reassuring throughout. A special thank you to Joe Gregory, whose calm and steady guidance made all the difference.
Joe took the time to explain each step, maintained excellent communication, and ensured that both the seller and I were always on the same page. His thoughtful handholding throughout the process helped me feel confident and well-supported from start to finish. I truly appreciated his responsiveness and attention to detail, it made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Martin & Pole Earley, and especially Joe Gregory, to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

TrustpilotBest estate agent in the area
When I moved from Lower Earley to Earley some years ago, the sellers were represented by Joe at Martin & Pole. We were really impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail. When we planned to move from Earley some years ago, it was a no brainer for us to use Joe for that sale. As it happened, circumstances changed for us and we opted to stay in Earley and not sell. However, when we needed to sell my fathers property as a probate sale, we used Martin & Pole. Once again Joe, Katherine and Dawn were all really professsional and helpful. Joe has been in the business in this area for a long time so he knows the area and the market better than anyone. Personally, I wouldn't bother going to any other agent.

I have used Martin and Pole when I purchased my house. The team including Joe Gregory has done tremendous job from negotiations to the completion of the contract. They were very helpful throughout.
And now for selling the same property after 12 years, I have used Martin and Pole again. Even this time round, they have looked after us from the beginning till the end including giving us right advice to viewing and chasing relevant parties to speed up the process.
Big thanks to Joe and his team. Well done

GoogleThere are not enough words to describe the service I received from Martin & Pole, Earley when they recently sold my house for me. An outstanding team, Joe, Dawn and Katherine provided an invaluable service which was second to none. Joe came across upon our first meet as professional, knowledgeable and with an amazing wealth of knowledge about the area I lived in. All three kept me up to date regularly wish calls, emails and meetings, their attention to detail was amazing and I felt very special throughout the whole process with their calm and re4assuring guidance and at times, beyond the call of duty. Don't waste your time going anywhere else if you are buying or selling, 5* is not high enough for the service you receive.

TrustpilotAn honest and reliable estate agent with a commited and efficient colleague
Joe Gregory is an excellent estate agent. He is honest, reliable, helpful and exudes professionalism. We asked 6 agents to value our property and we had no hesitation in choosing Joe. In a difficult market Joe was reassuring and supportive, and he gave us measured and well-thoughtout advice at all stages of the process. Joe is an excellent communicator, he kept in touch with us throughout the sale and at crucual points he was in touch with all the stakeholders ensuring that the sale and purchase went through smoothly. I have no hesistation in recomending Joe Gregory to anyone wanting to sell their house. We never met Kat, but every time we spoke to her on the phone she was extremely helpful and efficient. There is clearly an excellent customer focused ethos at Martin and Pole in Earley and I would like to thank Joe and Kat for the support they gave us.

Highly recommend Joe and his team at Martin & Pole Earley. We contacted 3 local agents to sell our property and after meeting Joe, knew he was the estate agent we wanted to do business with. Thoroughly professional and experienced, he was quick to prepare excellent sales details and get the house on the market. He provided good feedback after viewings and in a challenging market, found us a committed buyer. Katherine kept us up to date with viewings and if out of the office, Joe always returned phone calls promptly. He ensured everything ran smoothly and was an invaluable link between solicitors, our buyers and the estate agents of the property we were purchasing. An excellent team that we unhesitatingly recommend to others. Mr and Mrs Preston

GoogleWe recently had to sell my parents house after the passed away last year and after doing some due diligence around which Estate Agents to chose to sell the property, we chose Martin & Pole in Earley. Right from the start Joe, Katherine and the team were both highly professional, always kept us up to date and their commission rate was extremely competitive. The process from start to finish was very slick not only did we get a great price for the property, every little detail was explained to us right the way through to completion. At times they even went above and beyond which was great. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Martin & Pole should you need to sell your property. Thank you.

Joe was very helpful right from arranging viewing to every single steps there after. He was calling us regularly and extended his support and guidance.
As we were first time buyers, Joe's suggestion/guidance was very helpful.
We are extremely thankful to Joe Gregory as well as Martin and Pole.

GoogleJoe Gregory and his colleagues at the Silverdale Road branch of Martin and Pole gave us excellent service from start to finish of the sales process.
Joes experience of the local market meant we asked and got a good price for the house we were selling for our Mum.
We sought sales quotes from other local agencies but Joes was the best and the final sale came in at above what the others had been proposing as an asking price.
Joe kept us in touch with developments as the sale progressed, gave sound advice for setting the house pre-sale, help with sorting out other services like the energy survey and Conveyancing solicitors not being locals ourselves.
When issues crept into the sales process Joe dealt even handedly with us and our buyer, he remained calm and professional even when we were beginning to fray at the edges.
The most important aspects of the house sale were all dealt with superbly by Joe and Silverdale road branch, the offering, the sale and closing the deal.
Joes advice has been consistently sound and of the highest calibre. I cant thank all the staff at Silverdale Road for all they have done to get the sale done for Mum.
Cannot recommended highly enough.
