When I was introduced to Michael I knew instantly that he had integrity and passion about his business. We had tried to sell through Savills and another local agent with no success. He believed that he could deliver a much better service and gave me confidence that the property was not only beautiful but fairly priced and would sell quickly. This proved to be the case!
On meeting his wife, Lucy, my feelings were reinforced by her natural enthusiasm and shared passion for our property. Together they make a formidable team and, with the help of some beautiful photographs, produced a brochure which truly reflected the quality of our home. The end product undoubtedly provided Michael with a worthy marketing tool.
What makes Stowhill Estates quite unique in my opinion is Michael's ability to screen potential buyers to ensure that subsequent viewings were always positive and matched the criteria outlined by the initial enquiry. This took all of the frustration away from us as no viewing was a waste of time and all were handled personally by Michael, having taken a great deal of time to really know the property. warts and all!
Very soon, a buyer was found and, from thereon, Michael eased the process along, always keeping us informed of progress and thereby minimising the stress that often goes with selling one's home. At no point were we put under pressure to accept a low offer or have a 'for sale' board outside the property, neither of which would have been acceptable to us and which he understood.
I have come to respect Michael's passion for the service he provides, which is quite unique in my view. Not only is he truly professional in every aspect, but also a very likeable person, who I have come to regard as a friend. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Stowhill Estates to anyone who is serious about selling their property.

Comment on agent fees
I think the fees charged, whilst slightly above those quoted by competitors, were absolutely appropriate for the level of service delivered.
