TrustpilotVery professional service. Highly recommended.
Very professional service and could not fault it. From customer services to sale was an all round positive experience. Helen in customer services responded to every question promptly and made me feel comfortable at all stages of the selling process. The photographer was really good and the pics made the house look amazing. The house was on the market for a week, 2 viewing slots over 2 days and sale executed by end of it by Claire. Claire was brilliant dealing with prospective buyers and was very informative, pleasant and great at her job. Thanks Jacqueline and team for making this a smooth and seamless process from start to finish. I would highly recommend Donald Ross Residential to my friends and family. Mary

TrustpilotBest experience of viewing a house we've had !
We viewed a house on a Sunday, a week ago, & were shown around the property by Claire from Donald Ross. We have to say how lovely Claire was, with our endless questions being answered with honesty, & patience ! We were fortunate enough to have our offer accepted by the seller, & we want to thank Claire for turning out on a Sunday, to do viewings. IF we ever moved again, & had to sell, we would only ever turn to Claire to help us. What an asset she must be to Donald Ross. Once again a big thank-you Claire . Tim & Marion

Have recently sold with Donald Ross and was impressed with the staff and service from the beginning. Tracey was very ambitious about what sales figure could be achieved from the property and we were well advised as to how to show our property off in the best light. Both Tracey and Claire helped us with viewings and we were able to secure an offer within two weeks. All staff were very good to deal with on the phone and by email. Helen had a very reassuring manner in particular. Would definitely recommend.

5 Star service and professionalism from Gavin Urquhart and Donald Ross. Was considering Purple Bricks, but so glad we went local. Gavin kept us up to date daily and guided us through the whole marketing and sale of our house. Every question answered and always at the end of the phone to make this a stress free experience.

TrustpilotIncredible Experience… Highly Recommend
Wow, what an experience. Before Fraser arrived at our home to start the process, we were anxious, however Fraser instantly put us at ease. Understanding that this was a home we had put ally of work into and had a long standing emotional connection too, he spoke of all the features that made this house our home. After deciding it was time to continue with the process and put our property on the market, we were delighted to work with Maureen.
Maureen is such a positive energy, she made sure we were kept up to date with every step of the process. Despite our house being sold in a very short period of time, Maureen kept it as stress free as possible ensuring we were comfortable and supported when accepting an offer.
We have worked Donald Ross in the past to sell and buy a home, and would highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
Hopefully our next move will be our forever home, but if not we know where we will go to help us in the next great adventure.

We recently bought a house through Donald Ross. The service was so good that we used them to sell our house too. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, helpful and most importantly super competent. They answered the phone promptly every time, even on a Saturday when other estate agents weren't working. The staff were enthusiastic and accomodating. We felt confident all the way through the process that we were in safe hands. This is the 4th house that I've bought and sold: and Donald Ross were hands down the best estate agent that we've ever used. I would recommend them in a heart beat. Special thanks to Gavin Urquhart who went above and beyond for us. He worked tirelessly to help us secure our dream house and then sell our current property. Gavin really helped to make something that is usually very stressful; extremely straight forward and simple. Nothing was ever a problem for him and we really felt that he cared about the outcome.
I would 100% recommend Donald Ross Residential.
