‘Very impressed by the site, user friendly, well designed...excellent. I see you have great pictures and floorplans to present your properties online to buyers’ (Mr Jones)
‘Website is great, floorplans, pictures etc. Yours is the benchmark for others’ ( T. Lacey)

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time and invaluable feedback regarding both the floorplans and the sales progression. Taking this feedback on we have now increased the size of both the floorplan itself and the text contained within the floorplan so I am really appreciative of your feedback. With respect to sales progression, to be honest, this only really shows its value when there is a problem in the chain and you then have a single point of command to resolve the property rather than several diff ...

Hi Kat,
That is great that you had positive experiences with both the Hemel and the Kings Langley office and is really helpful to know that we are all pulling in the same direction as a business, that is why a successful independent is so much better than a corporate! Glad you made the move smoothly, thanks for the review. ...

Hello Mrs Heron, thanks for the kind words regarding Sue. I am please she was not too pushy with you since this can be very off putting for a potential buyer and sometimes means they dont view with an agent even if they have a suitable house! Getting the balance is essential and Sue has a very efficent and professional way about her which clients are very appreciative of. ...

Hello Mr Jones, thanks for the comments. Sterling are one of the only estate agents to have a dedicated sales progression department, this ensures our negotiators and managers spend more time getting clients the best price for thier properties and also ensures that once the offer is accepted the seller and buyer is not forgotten, with our dedicated sales progressors keeping all parties in the loop at every step of the way. ...

Hi Jo,
Really glad you have settled into your new home. The great thing about our negotiators viewing properties with potential buyers is to gain this sort of feedback which you simply do not get on an email registration or over the phone and subsequently makes the job of finding the home with the must haves easier! Thanks so much for taking the time to review us on allagents. ...
