I had a really great experience viewing the house yesterday. The process felt relaxed and transparent, and we were able to discuss our budget openly and even negotiate terms that worked for us. I also appreciated being able to talk through our preferences without feeling rushed.

Lily Johnson: efficient, diligent, and outstanding work ethics.
I am currently in the process of renewing my tenancy and Lily Johnson is the agent currently on my case. I must express my gratitude towards her, she has been the most efficient, diligent, and knowledgeable housing agent I have ever dealt with. I really appreciate her hard-work, and I hope John Shepherd never let go of her services, they would be missing a star!

Excellent service throughout the process
My interaction with the team in Shirley was the purchase of my new home, from the first interaction I was impressed and it made such a smooth process during a difficult time before the stamp duty holiday.Jordon was our first point of contact when we viewed the property creating a relaxed atmosphere, he was able to answer questions that we raised (unlike some viewings that we had been to) and followed up after when needed.Sophie was managing the next step, I had not purchased a house in 20 years and Sophie walking me through the process and put me at ease during the negotiation stage, thankfully for us our offer was accepted. I want to thank Sophie for her patience and professionalism during this stage.Next was Shannon who provided me sound information about the process and where we may need help during the process of managing the solicitors.Amazing service and if I were ever to move again would certainly consider using John Shepherd.

You just can’t beat them at John Shepard
I can’t express how much I would like to thank you all at John Shepard Collection especially Gurdev and Harry they have more than bent over backwards for my family and sale of our house. It wasn’t straight forward at the beginning as we had built the house ourselves and there was so much paper work that we needed to get for the sale to commence but with all there help and guidance we got there in the end with there advice and patients they done more than there job and for that I am very grateful I am now all sold and looking for our next adventure thanks again guys all at John shep ❤️❤️❤️

We recently purchased a house in Stafford via John Shepherd estate agents. I have to say that the way they dealt with us was exceptional. From the very start they kept us informed of how the sale was progressing. All queries and questions from the sellers were passed back to us promptly. Specifically Mia Cornwall was excellent in dealing with the whole sale from start to finish.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! horrific company
Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and the distress caused by the condition of the property. This isn’t the standard we aim to deliver, especially when it comes to clear communication and timely repairs. We understand how frustrating this must have been. We’d really like the opportunity to put this right so please contact us directly so we can look into the details and support you further. Thank you.

Charlotte Milner - thank you!
Charlotte Milner made our experience with John Shepherd Lettings great! She always kept us well informed during the whole renting process and happily (and promptly!) answered any questions we had. Charlotte was always friendly and we have found it very helpful that she was the sole agent dealing with our queries - this kept communication very clear! Thank you again.

Just waned to thank the staff at John…
Just wanted to say the staff at John Shepard have been great especially Ailish in the solihull office. She was alway quick to respond to emails, sorted out a viewing with the landlord before they’d even had a chance to market the property. This has lead to us being able to get to know the landlord and him us as tenants making the move easier as well. The only downside is the referencing service they use as it seems to be set up on a 50/50 basis so my husband had to pay half then I had to log in and pay half. This isn’t John Shepard’s faults just the was it’s set up.Rickie was also fantastic at getting back to us with any queries in Ailish’s absence.

They do not allocate house viewings fairly.
The lady I spoke to (didn’t get her name) was quite rude and abrupt. We enquired about viewing a house as soon as it was listed. Was told we would get a call once they had access to the property. We never got a call, so Called back today to be told the viewings are now fully booked meaning they do not allocate viewing fairly as I literally enquired within minutes of the house being published on right move.
We are sorry to read your comments. Unfortunately we cannot locate a file for you with just a first name and we would ask if you can please email drew.swadkins@johnshepherd.com with your full name and which office you called through too so we can locate your file and respond to your comments.

Ellis who I saw today was very pleasant and well mannered. He helped me receive my parking pass this morning and although he was already dealing with another tenant he still made sure to greet me and ensured that he would deal with me next. Although it was a wait, granted he was busy, he was apologetic and very kind.

John Shephard Estate Agents Review
Our Lettings Negotiator Destinee Rowe was fantastic to look at the property with. I was left alone to look around the flat we moved into by myself and any questions I had she was able to answer professionally without fail especially about things that could of put me of the flat while viewing it. She helps move the process along quickly which was well needed and always responded to any queries I had quickly and efficiently. She is a credit to John Shepherds reputation.

Thank you Lily at John Shepherd
Thank you Lily at John Shepherd. Given the “virtual “ nature of our relationship, I have to say that I can be nothing other than impressed by her speed to respond to all of my requests promptly and professionally. Oh, and given the amount of questions I asked, her patience was pushed to the limit. But, you wouldn’t have known it. Moved into the flat on Saturday. Lily and the teams post move follow up etc all very welcome. Great customer service all round.

John Shepherd estate agents were…
John Shepherd estate agents were helpful under the current circumstances especially, they explained everything thoroughly and were very informative about the processes and what was required of us. Jack Richardson was the agent dealing with our property and acted in a very professional and friendly manner. Overall a comfortable experience with john Shepherd. My only one criticism is we could have been provided with more information on the property itself, such as utility providers and which broadband providers are compatible in the area. This wasnt provided on the date of the move and made setting up accounts to the providers more difficult.

Excellent service by Michelle and Tom!
We had a positive experience with Tom and Michelle, who went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free process. Their team was incredibly supportive, guiding us through every step with clear and timely communication. They facilitated a second view with pleasure and they replied all our questions. They were proactive in addressing our queries and made sure all necessary steps were completed within the required timeframe. Their exemplary response gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout, and we’re truly grateful for their outstanding service.

We have had a great experience selling through John Shepard, we recently put our home on the market and have been so impressed with the service. Sophie was initially dealing with us when we were deciding to put it up on the market, she was very proactive following up and always happy to assist. She arranged everything quickly and efficiently to suit us, the photography work and video upload really made a difference to the interest we had, we were very impressed how well they were able to advertise our home.Jordon was involved in doing the viewings for our home, and was very proactive in contacting potential buyers. He was always happy to help when I called with any questions, and very accommodating. Between Sophie and Jordan they were able to bring in a lot of viewings for our home. I was very impressed with their proactive approach and their customer service. We sold our home under two weeks of it being on the market, we couldn’t of asked for more. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and would definitely use John Shepard as a first choice going forward.
