Thank you very much indeed for such a thoughtful and positive review.
Whilst it is true that we act for the seller, we are always mindful of two things: the first is that anyone we sell a home to will potentially be a future customer and secondly that basic human courtesy costs nothing.
Most buyers just want the Estate Agent to be honest and straightforward in their negotiations, keep them updated throughout the sale process and offer constructive guidance where necessary, particularly if they have not bought a home before. We work exceptional hard to meet these demands on every transaction.
I am delighted that you were happy with the way the team at the Lords Surbiton office conducted themselves and hope that we can help you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Guy Hodge,
Managing Director
