Awful initial contact with this estate agent. Booked a valuation online on the 28th July 2019. Had a confirmation to say this had been arranged for the following week. No one turned up. Rang the office and the receptionist said that we should have contacted to confirm, when clearly states on the confirmation email they would contact. Her attitude was we should be chasing them. I explained this is an error on their behalf and she couldn’t get of the phone quick enough she said she had someone here to deal with. If they are like that for a valuation appointment image what they are like selling your house. Fantastic ... not

Afternoon Amy, I am terribly sorry you were not happy with the service you received from us. The valuation booking tool on our website is an automated system, including the reply. We cannot find any record of the booking on our system and this is a technical error we are looking into with our website provider. We pride ourselves on giving a 5 star service and I would be very grateful if you would contact me so we can discuss your experience. I must apologies once again and I look forward to hearing from you. Tom Preston - Managing Director

Clean tidy window displays of local homes for sale a bit disappointed in her interest in helping us to start our search just told me basically to look on Rightmove another local agent seemed far more interested in helping kick start our search surprised at lack of interest in a potential clients wanting to relocate

Bought my first house with Tom and the staff at FSB. A journey made much easier with the impeccable communication, advice and local knowledge held by the FSB team. Looks like my timing was good, as Seaton really seems to be the 'Up and coming' place to be in East Devon.

Excellent customer service throughout the whole process of selling. The staff were very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of selling our home and we sailed through the process with ease. I’ve already recommended them to friends who are selling. Would definitely go to Fortnams again. Thank you.

The whole experience was really positive, Tom took really professional photos, his team pulled out all the stops to sell our house, the team are great communicators and very knowledgeable. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell, particularly in this area as their local knowledge is great.

We viewed several properties with FSB and they were always on time, friendly but professional and knowledgeable about each property. The bungalow we selected was marketed by FSB and they were quick to respond to any queries we had throughout the buying process.

We have just sold our house through FSB and have been very pleased with the service we received from Tom and his team. We also bought our previous house through FSB and they worked very hard with this sale. I would fully recommend them and use them again.

Property marketed on a Wednesday, week later on the Thursday (with six viewings booked) I had three offers! Owner really down to earth, fair and friendly, but above all, and bearing in mind estate agents aren't held in high esteem: honest! Did what he said he would do, when he said he would. Staff in the office polite, friendly and efficient, and communication was excellent. Not difficult to see why they're the number one agent in Seaton. Well done guys!
