We've completed 4 or 5 viewings with CJ Hole, Ethan Buckler who showed us round was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He quickly understood what we were looking for and was always ready to give important information when required. Ethan was also excellent and backing away when we were deep in conversation or needed a quiet moment. Overall the booking process was a little bit of a faff because of the number of properties and our schedules - none of that was Ethan's fualt but that's why it's only 4 stars.

My partner and I viewed 4 properties through CJ Hole Southville and Ethan Borsten took us through all of them. He was so knowledgeable and helpful each time, always punctual and communicated with us throughout the whole process. When we first moved to Bristol we were very stressed about finding a place to live, but Ethan calmed our nerves, he gave us the time of day to find good options and was accommodating to our availability for viewings. Thank you Ethan!

My partner and I recently went to view a house for sale that's being handled by CJ Hole and were met by Jaden Burton, a Sales Negotiator working for the estate agent. From start to finish Jaden was Friendly, knowledgeable, patient and able to provide us with some really helpful perspectives and insights on the questions that we had. We didn't feel rushed in the slightest and after the visit felt really well informed and left with a much better understanding of the property we had gone to see. 5 stars for Jaden, he was fantastic!

Daniel has been a pleasure to deal with over the past few weeks. He’s shown us round four different houses in South Bristol and has been consistently friendly, professional, and approachable. He always answers our questions clearly and gives us the time and space to properly look around each property. Daniel has never been pushy and has made the whole process so far feel relaxed and straightforward. We really appreciate his help.

I just wanted to say thank you, Carmelo, for your help during the house viewing. You were very professional, friendly, and thorough in explaining the details of the property and answering all my questions. For someone renting for the first time you made it very easy for me. Thank you again for your time and support.

I've had viewings with many of the estate agents in Bristol but today's with CJ Hole and Daniel was one of the best. Daniel was helpful, kind and efficient. He even got back to my emails over the weekend to secure a second viewing at a property. Cheers Daniel and team

We recently viewed a property and are thrilled to say we got the house! Our experience was smooth and memorable, thanks to our agent, Ethan Borsten. From the moment we arrived, Ethan was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk us through every detail of the home, answered all our questions with patience, and made us feel confident every step of the way. His support played a big role in helping us secure the property, and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Ethan, for your dedication and excellent service

Ben Pursey at CJ Hole Southville was a great agent for my flat and found a tenant quickly. He was quick and clear communicating and polite too. Initially I was dealing with another person at the same branch and communication was poor and sporadic. Thanks Ben.

Both Minnie and Ethan have been extremely helpful as I am looking for a flat to meet my accessibility requirements.

William was an excellent property manager throughout our leasing process. He was patient, clear in his explanations, and always took the time to check in and keep us updated. When we experienced delays receiving our "Right to Rent," he was incredibly understanding and accommodating, ensuring we never felt rushed or pressured. His professionalism, great communication, and willingness to help made the entire process much smoother. We truly appreciate his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable property manager.

I have only been through the viewing stage with CJ Hole so far, but Carmelo has been amazing throughout. He proactively called me to let me know about other HMO properties, and a few days later I was able to look around a property and we have put in our application. Carmelo was friendly and informative, and I'd highly recommend him

We had a very hands on agent, Ben. He was able to answer questions we had directly. He was prompt with our viewing and let us look around without overbearing us with information all at once. Friendly and helpful!

Great experience

We are extremely pleased with the service from CJ Hole. James Dear was outstanding, his valuation was not only thorough and detailed but also far more personable and meticulous than others we received. He valued our home significantly higher than other agencies and successfully secured a sale close to the asking price. While we encountered some challenges with other agents, James handled everything with professionalism, genuinely caring about our experience and going above and beyond to resolve any issues.

We went for a viewing today with Ethan Buckler. He presented the property professionally. He arrived on time and knowledgeable about the property. He answered all our questions as well as offered solutions to our concerns. The viewing went smoothly and we have decided to make an offer. We are looking forward to the vendor's favorable response. Thank you Ethan!
