We had been looking to rent a property in Ilkley and had registered with all available agents. Angus Roberts, Dale Eddison, W H Brown, Blue Residential and Lindley Simpson.

Jo stood head and shoulders above the rest both in her determination to help us secure a property in Ilkley, along with her fantastic communication and follow up skills.

She left the rest in her wake!

Jo is a fabulous representative for Dacres and you should be absolutley proud of her, her skills and her professionalism.

She even handled my 'difficult at times' husband will skill and humour, not an easy thing to do.

Would just like to make you aware of what a great asset you have in Jo, absolutely 5 stars.
