Testimonials
It is extremely easy to recommend Simon Richards to anyone selling their property.
We are recent recipients of Simon’s expertise and support during the sale of our rural property. From the appraisal to successful sale by Deadline Treaty, we could not fault him.
Simon’s honest clear answers to our questions, organising to show the property at times that suited us, and his constant communication and follow-up reports were really appreciated.
Simon made the process as easy as it could possibly be.
Nigel & Julie Newton -
We have recently sold our much loved family home, which we built a number of years ago. We had no hesitation in engaging Simon and Sam Richards as our agents, and were so pleased we did. Simon’s experience in the industry, calm reassuring manner and excellent advice were invaluable. Simon ensured that the process from appraisal through to a successful sale was seamless. While Sam is establishing himself in the industry, he was heavily involved in the marketing and selling of our home. Sam’s enthusiasm, attention to detail, clear communication and feedback to us as clients was outstanding. All our requests were dealt with quickly and efficiently, and we felt very comfortable working with Sam. He has a great future ahead of him. We highly recommend Simon and Sam Richards either as individuals or a team.
Nigel & Virginia Davenport-
Simon knows the market only too well and has a clientele base to match the property sale. Simon has a calming demeanour and his professionalism is unquestionable. We appreciated the strong follow-up attention with prompt communication.
Ferg and Sally McFetrich-
From the start to the finish of the marketing process we were impressed with Simon’s handling of our land sale. Simon’s experience, knowledge of the market and attention to detail was faultless. This combined with his calmness and friendly demeanour made a great deal of difference at a critical time.
