Little did they know that their enthusiasm and commitment to service would create a company that would set the standard for the industry to follow. Gibbs Gillespie is a dynamic, multi office team with a hard earned reputation for achieving the highest price in the marketplace. But we’ve never rested on our laurels and continue to introduce new ideas and innovative practices. Innovations such as Be First, our buyer and tenant personalised matching system; Just Listed, a high quality, colour, property magazine produced monthly; and professional photography, floorplans and video tours, have all been adopted by many others in an endeavour to emulate the success of Gibbs Gillespie. Gibbs Gillespie aims to be the very best of the best. We strive to shine in every area of our business, continually reinventing ourselves as we find better ways to achieve our clients' goals. We are a learning organisation. We regularly review our structure, systems and processes, asking ourselves: How can we improve our service to our clients?

We do not believe that this is a genuine customer review, as the name "Dave or "David" has no bearing on any recent transactions handled by this office in the corresponding price range. Furthermore the comment about our Terms of Business is factually incorrect as they comply with all the relevant legislation. We are members of the National Association of Estate Agents and regulated by The Property Ombudsman Scheme. I would invite "Dave" to speak with me personally at our Gerrards Cross Bra ...
