Fine & Country Drayton is run and managed by local staff, with extensive experience in estate agency in the Portsmouth, Drayton and South Coast area. Local people may already know Managing Director Colin Shairp, who has been an agent in Portsmouth since 1986, yet the whole team had experience in the local market before joining the Drayton branch when it opened in 2009. Their belief that the area needed a quality brand, where both owners and purchasers could experience better customer service, superior marketing materials and a personalised marketing strategy has proved correct.

Fine & Country did more than just market our property and find a Buyer, they assiduously managed the process through to Exchange.
This was a difficult transaction due to issues at the bottom of the chain. Marcus Foot was very responsive to the evolving challenges bringing ...

Thank you for your comments, they are appreciated.
Not all estate agents are the same, some sit back and wait for the transaction to go through, others (like my team) are proactive and are driven to provide a positive experience for all involved.
The moving experience can be traumatic, elongated and stressful, so I am delighted that we did everything in our power to reduce the issues and to drive the deal through. ...
