GoogleReally very impressed by the process of selling my house in Solihull
The sale estimate price was right in the middle of the range of everyone else, however, others were unrealistically high and never likely to generate the footfall that Danes achieved.
It was decided to open the house for a Saturday viewing session, however, it quickly became aparent that the interest generated required a second day. Clearly the pricing was bang on.
The team was happy to lead the viewings and I needed to clarify very little as all information was thoroughly captured when Adam came to survey and provide the recommendations.
I was delighted when I received numerous offers either at or above the asking price.
Each was reviewed clearly and I was happy to accept an offer of 10% above the asking price. This was higher than the highest alternative recommendation from a competitor, but only possible with the approach to marketing.
Following acceptance of the offer, the team guided me through the process, resolving the inevitable issues leading to a successful and stress free sale
I genuinely recommend Danes. It’s not often I’ve received such realistic, professional advice and then a superb service from offer to completion
Happy to answer specific questions

GoogleI have used Danes a few times; once for a very realistic valuation on a family property, several house viewings and, some time later, my house purchase. I can't recommend them highly enough. Adam is very knowledgeable and honest, and I value that above all else. He is not held in such high regard for nothing! He has a great team of people around him and even though buying a property can be a long drawn out process, and very stressful at times, I always felt like I was in safe hands and was kept informed every step of the way. Being a first time buyer I needed that sort of comfort and I found it in Danes. I would not hesitate in contacting them if I was thinking of moving again, but they found me my perfect home :)

GoogleDanes have been fantastic, I recently bought a house through them and wished i had also sold through them. Vanessa did everything she could to help us find our new home and was always contactable and vital throughout the offer process, she did everything she could to negotiate for us and keep us posted with suitable properties as soon as they came to market. The after sales from Danes is also brilliant, Sam has been an absolute angel, nothing has been too much for her, chasing the whole chain and keeping us regularly updated with developments and helping to solve issues in a large chain. The team at Danes excel at customer service, I cant recommend this branch of Danes highly enough!!!

GoogleUnreliable, dismissive, and evasive. They string people along with vague excuses, make promises they have no intention of keeping, and go silent the moment it suits them.

GoogleWe sold our house without any hitches thanks to Danes for the price they suggested. While we were away on a week's holiday they showed a dozen people round, half of whom made offers, so when we returned we chose who we thought was the best / most reliable offer and that was that. Really easy, partly because we were in the catchment area for excellent schools but also because of Danes professionalism.

GoogleProfessionalism, excellent customer service and compassion are attributes associated with all the staff at Melvyn Danes in Shirley. From the initial valuation, through to the accompanied viewings, buyer selection and then sales progression, the team of Adam, Vanessa, Sam and Lucy were superb. They know the area and residents trust their insights.

GoogleWe had a very difficult time finding our next home, through no fault of our own, we had 3 houses we were due to buy fall through for one reason or another. Melvyn Danes went above and beyond to keep our buyers fully in the loop and on side, to allow us the extra time we needed to secure our onwards purchase. Sam and Adam really made it all happen and can't recommend them enough. They really did go the extra mile for us.

GoogleI recently purchased a house through Melvyn Danes, and although they weren’t acting on my behalf, I felt it was important to show my appreciation for Sam, the branch manager, and Vanessa. They were outstanding throughout the process. Despite the challenges of a property chain, they worked tirelessly to keep things on track and ensure everything went smoothly. Their professionalism and dedication really stood out.

GoogleDanes (Shirley /Solihull) helped us find a rental property (we needed one for 12 months whilst we refurbed our home). They took the time to understand what we needed. They were brilliant and proactive when a property came up that suited our family (which included the needs of my mum who has limited mobility). From the search through the rental period and to the final stages as we handed back the keys they were hard working, thoughtful, friendly, flexible, professional and very responsive. We really appreciate all their help. To Clare, Emily and all the team - a great huge thank you from the Neary family. We were lucky to meet you and we so appreciate you found a home that made our mum feel comfortable and was a happy temporary home. Thank you.
