Our sale took a long time due to the niche nature of the property. During the marketing process, I felt Ryder Dutton did not lose interest in my property, and continued to make suggestions on how best to proceed to gain a sale. All of the staff at the Halifax branch provided good levels of ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

A little more than competitors - had the property sold for the original asking price, then the fee would have been comparable. However a flat fee, rather than a percentage of sale price was given, which resulted in a comparably higher fee as the sale price was reduced.
