The Property Explorer don't just sell houses, they sell a dream. They sell THE dream. I am only able to mention 2 people above, but honestly this little 'Family' all had a part to play in not only selling our house, but helping to make sure that a nightmare sale went through.
Simon, was always there with the reassuring blurb. Nothing, and I mean nothing was too small an ask, nothing was too much trouble. It was very clear from the off that he was there for YOU, and it honestly felt like you were his main focus the whole way through. A salesman through and through with a heart of gold.
Gaye too was simply wonderful. Her gentle nature shone through, but she was a serious tough cookie. She knew her stuff and wasn't afraid to go the extra mile. She was the one who held our open house and seriously, as I mentioned above, she sold the dream, not just a house. She sold the home, not just the bricks and mortar.
By far and away however, what made my experience was Wendy. Mrs Wendy Ellis. Closer extraordinaire. She handled the sale of our property and the purchase of our new place, because quite frankly the other agents sucked. She knew who to call, when to call them and was not afraid to go the extra mile to get the job done. I shed more than my fair share of tears on the phone to Wendy because quite frankly our move was shear hell. She was always there with a kind word, the offer of a cuppa and a hug. If it wasn't for this wonderful pint sized prize winner we would still be stationary and would never have moved in a million years.
So, if you want to sell your house.... look no further than Property Explorer. They will not disappoint you. I owe them all everything and more. To say I am thankful is an understatement. These guys are simply amazing.

Oliver viewed and valued my property and I requested a guide price and expected sales price.
His manner and lack of communication when I queried the valuation and asked for further information was abrupt and unhelpful.
I wouldn't recommend you use these agents....

We were let down by another Estate Agent and the Property Explorer came round the same day, they even had photos on the internet the next day. Extremely helpful staff, polite, professional and also very honest. Very reasonable fees too. Excellent Estate Agents and will definately use them again, even though we no longer live in the area. ...

We tried to be as accomodating as reasonable with allowing property viewings. This was not enough

The Property Explorers are in danger of giving estate agents a good name! Excellent service, communication and incredibly friendly staff make for an all-round positive experience. Would definitely use these again, and highly recommend them. Genuine pleasure to do business with them....

We had a deal that was marketed with a flyer through the door for a 0.75% fee. It was not stated on the flyer that this was excluding VAT, so when the invoice came through we were a little surprised as we had budgeted on a flat 0.75% fee.
