I had three different estate agents come out to value my property and talk through the services they provided and I am glad I went with my gut and chose Emma at Richard James.
Very efficient and accepted an offer the day after it went on sale! She knows the market and what people are looking for!
Thank you Emma and Team...fingers crossed for smooth completion too.
(TIP: Don't go for the cheaper option...there's a reason why it is that....) ...
