GooglePaul was professional, realistic and in tune with the market. He valued our property accurately and as a result we secured a buyer within 48 hours. The onward sale was delayed and Paul provided timely updates to our buyer. He also recommended a great solicitor! Thanks Paul, Steve and teamPositiveProfessionalism

GoogleWe instructed Paul Barker to sell our last house in 2021, based on that experience we decided to instruct him again in June 2024 - a sale was confirmed within days of being advertised for sale.
Once again a really professional service from Mr Barker, Ciaran and the rest of the team.

GoogleOne of the best Estate Agency I have worked with! From the very start of the process, PBEA has been extremely honest about everything(A very rare quality for any Estate Agency.)
Both Steve and Paul helped me buying my first property. As a first time buyer, there are many things I don't know, they have always been helpful, answering my questions.
The entire buying process took quite a while, due to the legal issues associated as the property is a new build. It's not PBEA's fault. If it wasn't for Steve and Paul regularly conversing with the seller, I would have not met the SDLT holiday!
Even after the completion, Paul has been helping me with setting my new place up, giving me advices on a variety of things. I really appreciate it!
Thank you! PBEA!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GooglePaul did an absolutely sterling job for us when selling our house. He's warm, genuine and friendly and did everything he could to help keep our sale on track even when we had to deal with quite substantial bumps in the road. His communication was fantastic and his commitment to helping and guide us extended to giving advice on possible house purchases. This was our first time using an estate agent and beforehand I questioned the value, but Paul proved that his service was worth every penny. A huge thanks to the PBEA team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleI recently sold a property in St Albans. I initially met with three local agents and it was immediately clear that I would go with Paul. He was professional, friendly and realistic from the outset and clearly had extensive local knowledge. Throughout the sales process he was a delight to work with and nothing was too much trouble for him and his team. His communication was clear and the the whole process was made easy for me. I highly recommend him.

GooglePaul Barker, a St Albans lad born and bred, a family man and genuinely nice fella. It's his name on the estate agent sign with a "sold" label on it. In fact the "sold" label went on the sign outside the house I sold five days after it went on the market! Paul and his friendly team were faultlessly professional throughout the whole sale and always went more than the extra mile. They were supportive and understanding and a real pleasure to work with. These qualities were highly appreciated and put a real shine on the excellent service already provided. Paul's experience, in-depth knowledge and understanding of the local, regional and national property markets was clear from our first meeting. I would not hesitate to use Paul Barker Estate Agents again and am delighted to give them the highest recommendation possible.

GoogleI was recommended to contact Paul Barker as I wanted a valuation of a local property both for sale and letting purposes. After our initial chat I felt in good hands as Paul puts you at ease and I was impressed with his knowledge and understanding of what was required. I received the valuation quickly and the final report I was given set out the information in a clear and easy to understand way. I would highly recommend Paul to deal with any sale or letting of your home.

GoogleWe sold our property through Paul Barker and I can highly recommend him and his team. He is extremely professional, highly knowledgeable about the market and guides you through the process. He kept us updated at every step and the communication was fantastic. He was always happy to take our call, answer any queries and even give us advice on properties we were thinking of buying. It was a level of service and support that I really don't think I would have got from another agent. I can highly recommend Paul Barker and should we come to sell another property again we will definitely use him and his team.

GooglePaul is an amazing estate agent and also a very nice and kind gentleman! Very professional and experienced! We bought our house through Paul which I wasn’t sure about at first and was very indecisive however he was incredibly helpful and helped me to see pros and cons in a very objective way. Since then, I have consulted Paul on a number of prospective purchases and value his objective unbiased opinion. He is patient, trustworthy and incredibly knowledgeable!
