I had contacted Chequers following a recommendation from a friend who had recently used them. From meeting Mark @ the initial valuation, I knew I wanted to work with Chequers. He was very honest & open I felt, with none of estate agent speak that you might anticipate. I was happy with the valuation. Within a week of going on the market a sale was agreed @ a price I was very happy with.
The hard work starts once the process starts moving. Mark continually liaised with the solicitors in the chain. He also liaised with my vendor towards the end who had no-one to communicate with her (the house I was buying was being sold by a well-known internet agent who doesn`t actually get involved with the process once the house is sold!). So Mark essentially ended up being the only estate agent in a 4/5 person chain and chased up everything including speaking to the vendor of my purchase - which is not their remit at all. I was kept fully informed at every step & was very very happy with the service and what`s more was confident that Chequers were doing their very best for me.
On occasion if Mark was not available, Lisa was equally helpful & Jo in the office was always friendly & happy to help too.
It is definitely worth using a high street estate agent over an internet agent, any time. Absolutely, contact the team @ Chequers, they helped through a hugely stressful process & surpassed all expectations.
