I'll keep it simple. I could not recommend Sears & Co (and the owner Richard especially) more. After having our house on the market with a number of other larger companies, and coming away with bad experiences and no solid offers, we were lucky enough to get in touch with Richard again. He was the person who persuaded us to buy the property now up for sale some 7-8 years ago. The comparison in experience from other agents could not have been more contrasting. From the initial meeting, everything was explained clearly without jargon, so it was entirely clear what we had to do, and how much we had to pay etc. Everything was fully transparent, and done in a really friendly, and genuine manner. We were instantly made to feel that the property that we were selling was a priority, which wasn't something that happened at other agents. In terms of selling, Richard is local to the area, and we felt comfortable that he was able to sell the *area* to any potential buyers, and not just the property, and had enough credibility to answer anything that needed to be known. After photography, which was of a high standard, our listing was available online very quickly but even taking that into account, Sears were able to secure an unbelievable number of viewings all on one Saturday and had secured 3 concrete offers within another day or so. Sears & Co had achieved in the space of one week what 2 other large estate agents couldn't do in over a year! I believe that's due to a combination of real focus rather than being spread too thin over the country, coupled with genuine selling expertise. Not content to sit back after we accepted one of the offers, there was consistent communication to ensure that all the right bits of information were being passed around, and to keep us informed of what stage of the process our buyers were at. At every point, we didn't have to chase because Sears & Co were proactive enough to do everything necessary. It was a real end-to-end effort. The company, and Richard in particular, were a real pleasure to deal with, and I would have no problem talking at length to anyone who would listen, about why using Sears would be the best option if you wanted to buy, sell or rent. You will save yourself a lot of stress if you do!

We selected Richard from a number of estate agents to sell our house last September, because he agreed a price for the house which we thought reasonable and acceptable. He arranged viewings by prospective buyers, not an easy job in the present housing climate, and kept us fully informed at all ... Read Full Review
