Recently made a harsh review on these guys. As a result, their director called me to discuss. It felt good to find out that they actually do care about their customers. In their eyes, my comment make them feel the need worst in the bussiness. Well they're not! Probably not the best but willing to improve and listen so it made me come back and change my comments. Well done Mark! Appreciate your time!

I have always used Parkers as they give an exceptional service and sold my house within 2 days. Plus their commission is competitive and lower than other estate agents would highly recommend.

As a landlady who is not able to get to the rented property to ensure all is well I am totally reliant upon the estate agent to look after the property and the tenants requirements. It is therefore extremely important to me that tenant issues are sorted out immediately and the team at Parkers seem to be responsive in these matters. I have been unfortunate as the property was vacated at the start of the COVID19 crisis and for the first time in almost 20 years it was empty, but Parkers implemented a virtual viewing which did find a tenant who have now moved in. I hope these tenants are happy in the property and stay for a few years.PositiveResponsiveness

We have recently rented our property through Parkers, we are 1st time Landlords and Parkers have really eased us into the role, they are fully managing our property but the information and help along the way has been really useful and we haven't felt stressed at all, everything has run smoothly from start to finish. We had our tenant secured within the first week of our house going live, so very pleased with this. overall good communication, great value for money and pleased with service they offer, SarahPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I initially used Parkers as a tenant when I first moved to Reading and I was impressed with their professionalism and fairness to tenants. When I was looking for an agent to manage a Buy-to-Let property a couple of years later they were the obvious choice. They are extremely professional and look after my property excellently. I only really deal with Mark Brooker, Sophie Green and Karen Pownall, who are all faultless and efficient.

Very good service from Parkers

I have been a landlord with Parkers for 7 years and, to date, they have always managed to find very good tenants for my property, keeping me up to date with the viewings and giving me invaluable feedback from potential customers. They also make sure I am aware of key points of the tenancy, such as the notice period and do their best to make sure the transition between tenants goes as smoothly as possible - arranging for the inventory to be made, for example getting an extra keys cut for my decorator and finding a cleaner at short notice over a bank holiday weekend. I also find them very personable and friendly to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to manage your property

Initial dealings were frought with difficulties in communication. Their performance was akin to an automated coffee vending machine that leaves you desperate when broken down.It reminds me of the bibical quote " the right hand knoweth not what the left does" in the way they take and pass their messages. One has to go through Tom, Dick & Harry ending up with no one when you want to be in touch with them. Harry, a so called support agent left me down badly but his failure was mostly due to organisational failure. Avoid them if you can. I am writing to the managing director to review their operational systems.

I am sorry to hear about your experience. Due to the current nature of viewings and to remain as COVID safe as possible, we were, unfortunately, unable to accommodate within the agreed timeframe with the current owner.I understand that our director, Damien, has been in contact with you to re-schedule the property viewing. We are happy to go through any further questions you may have on this property and the future viewing - 0118 957 5455.Thanks,Parkers

Damian was professional and thorough from the word go. He kept us fully informed every step of the way and guided us through the minefield of selling a property, which can at times become very stressful. He made the whole experience bearable.
