GoogleAs a first-time buyer in the area, the process naturally came with plenty of complications, but Rob made the entire journey significantly smoother. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient and always on hand to support whenever I needed guidance.
He went above and beyond, accommodating additional visits to the property and taking the time to truly listen to my queries and concerns. Buying any home is a high-stakes process, but Rob was very accommodating and proactive in helping me secure my purchase.
I highly recommend working with him if you are looking for a professional who is supportive, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients. Thank you!

GoogleWe couldn’t be happier with the service we received from 1st Call Property, especially Richard and Cam. As first-time landlords, the whole process felt quite daunting, but they guided us every step of the way with professionalism, patience, and genuine care.
From initially letting out our home to selecting fantastic tenants and managing everything seamlessly, they made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and reassuring. Their communication was excellent throughout, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
Richard and Cam have been an absolute pleasure to deal with, friendly, knowledgeable, and always going above and beyond. We’re incredibly grateful for all their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend 1st Call Property to anyone looking for a trustworthy and outstanding service.

GoogleI would not hesitate to recommend 1st Call Sales and Lettings, and in particular Rob Crowe. I met Rob when buying a flat, where he was the sellers estate agent. Rob was not only extremely professional, and so easy to deal with, but also a lovely guy and never tried to up sell. Rob always kept me well informed and was always optimistic and a real pleasure to deal with.
Thank you Rob for all of your help and patience!

Google1st Call supported us to buy a house in Southend recently. Big thanks to our agent, Rob Crowe. He supported us through the whole process. From the first viewing, negotiating the price and purchasing the property. We can't thank him enough for each time he made himself available to allow us extra viewings, especially as we needed to bring builders in to plan for the renovations we intended to carry out as soon as the property was transferred under our ownership.

GoogleI recently had to move due to my landlord selling the property. I was helped by the team at “1st Call Lettings” they were absolutely amazing and found me a property that was suitable for my requirements. I was able to move in 2 weeks later, In the face of an incredibly stressful time each team member played a key part in helping me get my new home! for my son and I. However Camilla and Gill both gave me back my faith in humanity 😮💨🤗 and went above and beyond to help me. Even as far as down to babysitting me through who to call and what to do re paying my bill’s. ( I’ve just come out of a 26 year marriage! in which the Ex Hubbi dealt with all of that) I would 💯 recommend 1st Call lettings ☺️ they are an amazing and very professional team. I looked with a few other estate agents! and none of them were as helpful and helped in the way 1st Call have. Thank you so much to all the team 🫶🏽☺️

GoogleUnfamiliarity with the ins and outs of private renting lends itself to a bit of anxiety, but the journey becomes easier when you have an agent like Cam. From start to finish, our interactions were the perfect blend of professionalism and kindness. Empathy and patience flowed effortlessly, reflecting her personal and deliberate commitment to being a blessing to others. Which agent would avail themselves to collect a delivery of furniture without fuss? I'll tell you who, Cam! No words can aptly capture my gratitude for her support in securing this rental, but I must at least start with this review.

GoogleI found 1st Call to be very efficient and professional in the way they handled a complex sale of two rented flats, a leased unit and Freehold. Over three months they negotiated between the buyer and solicitors and pushed the sale through to completion. They also handled the tenants well in a potentially difficult situation and looked after their interests.
I would have no hesitation in recommending 1st Call to any Landlords wishing to sell.

GoogleVery responsive and reactive team,
Recently I’ve been in the process of negotiating a new tenancy. Jess was compassionate and empathised with my situation but at same time respectful and professional with the landlord and wishes.
Renting is a business but built on relationships to have a good one there must be trust, Jess approach was real and practical could talk freely which helped explain my situation with out embarrassment.
Business with a ❤️
And deal with Jess gets things done.

He is passionate in everything property, friendly and has a calm nature. Would 100% recommend.
