Residential Sales Client Testimonials

"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you very much indeed for taking such a proactive stance in the selling of our flat. Your tenacity in contacting potential buyers was key to the success and I was very grateful indeed for the speed and efficiency in which you worked. I appreciate I was quite a demanding customer and am very grateful to the way you handled me and for your proffessional conduct.

Selling a flat in 9 days to a cash buyer in January and in a recession is a serious accomplishment!"

"We always had the feeling that our property would go quickly but this exceeded expectations. I would like to take the opportunity to pass on thanks to the whole Rettie & Co team involved with the sale. I have found you all professional, open to discussion and excellent at keeping us informed every step of the way".

'James, thank you to you and Julia for all your work on our property. You have both been exceptionally professional, responsive and lovely to deal with, and give Rettie a very positive image'.

'Thanks again for all your help. You have been a star in every way. Please also pass on my thanks to Simon whose advice has been greatly valued. I shall be returning to Rettie & Co again in the future. I have been very impressed with the service.'

We were pleased with the approach, professionalism and realism of all at Rettie, and we are delighted to have sold our house in a relatively short space of time.

We had very good service from Rettie, both in relation to the rental and sale of [our property].

"We want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us in getting what we hope will become our family home for many years to come. It's great to come across someone as honest and trustworthy as your good self. Thank you Maitland [Walker]."

We wouldn’t hesitate to use Rettie again, you have been really helpful!

I'd just like to say thanks very much for your assistance in selling the flat. You've been very helpful all along the way and ... I appreciate all the effort you've put in.

I just wanted to thank you for your services in selling 18 Dalrymple Crescent recently. My sister and I were delighted with achieving the sale so quickly and efficiently and I think that is due to the very professional and knowledgeable service your firm provided (together with our being fortunate in finding an interested purchaser). Many thanks indeed for your service.

The Rettie & Co team really went the extra mile for us. Their flexible approach accommodated out of hours viewings and the service was always professional yet friendly.

You have more than met my expectations from beginning to end of the process.   I have found you to be totally professional and reliable, friendly, extremely generous with your time. You have always kept me fully in the picture and responded promptly to phone calls and e-mails.  You have been willing to give your advice and support in all areas relating to the sale, and provided me with specialist marketing reports to aid my negotiations with the District Valuer… I would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie & Co to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Southern Scotland.

I would like to contribute a few words in recognition of your stellar achievement in selling 3 and 3a Hillside Crescent.  I was confronted by the potential pitfalls of selling two adjoining properties simultaneously to two different sets of buyers in a challenging market whilst being based abroad myself throughout.  A veritable juggling act indeed! Rettie & Co’s highly professional sales team however carried out the operation successfully by ‘remote control’ through a combination of setting just the right price level, the optimal timing of the stages of the sales process and an application of their superior negotiating skills, and by a quiet, discreet but steely determination to achieve the desired result.

The three Stockbridge sales have been a tremendous result and I must say how impressed I have been with the professionalism of Rettie & Co.

The marketing strategy as you originally outlined it worked extremely efficiently, both as to the amount of interest generated by the marketing campaign and the resultant financial outcome. Special mention should be made of the quality of the sales brochure and the excellence of the photographs taken for it.......All in all your people were able to make the whole process as 'stressless' as possible and for that and all their efforts on our behalf we are most grateful.

Congratulations on finding us such a charming couple to buy the house, and so fast! Getting people in the first few days is amazing – your website must really work! Everybody who has come round has seemed positive, and no time wasters. We are happy with the swift offer, and hope that this will crystallise fully soon. This is the fourth house you have sold for us, and just as fast, in spite of the recession.
