    Fantastic, professional and proactive service from a great team

    I knew immediately I had made the right choice in Rettie. The team were proactive, considerate and professional. The marketing for my property was superb and the sales team couldn't have been more supportive or efficient. Special thanks to Caitlin who went above and beyond.

    Excellent Service

    Vincent and Alice at Rettie, Shawlands provided an excellent service in selling my flat. Very knowledgeable about the local market and spot on with the valuation. Survey and marketing were done quickly and to a high standard. I was notified of each viewing and received feedback the day after. I was very happy with the offer I received and how smoothly everything went. I highly recommend Rettie.

    Excellent service from start to finish!

    From the initial meeting with Sean, right through to the eventual completion of our sale, Rettie kept us up to date and well informed. They were quick to pass on feedback from viewers and were tenacious in ensuring that we had feedback from all. Things did not go smoothly through our sale but their guidance and support made sure that we were kept informed at all times. They followed our instructions at all times but also offered advice when asked for. All members of the Bearsden team were polite, friendly and warm in their dealings with us and were genuinely delighted for us when things eventually fell into place. I would definitely recommend Rettie, Bearsden!

    Promises fulfilled

    I engaged Rettie to sell my parents' flat.
    Their communication from start to finish was excellent.
    Their clarity in terms of marketing strategy, timing of going to market and time to sell was refreshing.
    They undertook all of the viewings for me, which took so much of the stress out of selling.
    They found the perfect purchaser, agreed an excellent price for the sale and did everything they had promised me, in less time than expected.
    Good value for money, and a truly exceptional sale experience.
    Highly recommend.

    Very happy with the service we received from Rettie when selling our house. The team handling our sale were friendly, professional and responsive throughout. They were efficient in getting our property onto the market swiftly, marketing materials were high quality and they had a clear strategy in mind for marketing to relevant prospective buyers.

    Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

    I recently sold my property through Rettie and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the whole process was made smooth and stress-free thanks to the team’s professionalism and care.

    A special mention must go to Alice and Vincent, who were both outstanding throughout. They were always friendly, approachable, and genuinely interested in making sure I understood each step. No question was ever too small, and they went out of their way to provide helpful advice and clear updates, which gave me real peace of mind.

    I would highly recommend Rettie, and especially Alice and Vincent, to anyone looking to sell their property. Their dedication and friendly approach turned what could have been a stressful process into a smooth and even enjoyable experience.

    Mixed experience

    Mixed experience - we interviewed three estate agents similar class of Estate agents. Like every seller you have high hopes of quick sale. Rettie operate by office or division - we initially listed through local office, with view that we listed through Town and Country team also. After a number of months, it was evident the local office could not promote property as effectively as wanted ( just too Glasgow) not enough Town and Country. After challenging the marketing strategy - we moved to the Town and Country team, we reviewed the situation - priced right, some solid advice from our Agent Andrew L we managed to sell our property. Granted location and unique nature of property made it more challenging - it solid advice ( and being open to it) made selling easier. Unfortunately, Andrew L left business before the sale concluded - but he has our thanks. Unfortunately there was no further contact from Rettie, no courtesy call. While I'm grateful for opportunity to write a review - my experience was mixed. They are great team - but you need the right team from Rettie with the right advice from outset.

    Would I use Rettie again, yes, but I would interview and ensure I have right team who know their patch. Lack of a Courtesy call - especially after sale was completed was disappointing.

    First Class Property Promotion

    The promotion of the property was supervised by two Rettie managers who provided a weekly status on viewing numbers and the level of interest generated. At least one of these managers could be contacted during office hours and detail provided on the steps taken to further promote where necessary.
