Fantastic service from Guy and his team at Mansell McTaggart in Horsham - a wholehearted recommendation from a very happy seller.
Quite some months before we had decided whether or not to market our property, we were just testing the water, and viewed a property that was on the market with Mansell McTaggart. Ever since then, for a number of months, Guy got in touch to see what position we were in. His contact was often enough to be meaningful, but not too often to become annoying. When we eventually decided many months later to market our property, Guy was one of six agents we invited. The guide price suggested by Guy was exactly the same as four other agents.
We liked Guy's approach and manner, but a marketing strategy suggested by another agent, Cubitt and West, appealed to us. Guy explained why that strategy would not work, and proposed an alternative. We know that Guy was right, because we subsequently tried to buy a property being marketed by Cubitt and West, who were employing the same strategy that appealed to us. The strategy failed: the property sat for many weeks, and eventually sold for less than the price hoped for.
Mansell McT hosted a launch day, during which we had several viewings, received an offer for over the asking price, accepted it and our house was sold within five days of launch.
We had a number of concerns before using Mansell McT e.g. small team, fewer opening hours, not on all websites... In reality, none of that made any difference. These guys know what they are doing: they know exactly what's going on, they communicate well, and for sellers that are a great - they get the value and more than earn their fee. In fact, we were so pleased, we were happy to pay them a little more than we had first agreed. We considered using an online-only agent, and I am convinced now that it would have been a waste of time, and that paying a good local agent definitely delivers best value.
It's not only Guy either; Jacob was also good, handling much of the day-to-day work. He chased up, cracked the whip, remained cool and calm when he needed to and absorbed much abuse from others in the chain.
I would hesitate to use Mansell McT again, and would recommend to anyone.
Comment on agent fees
Good value overall.
