    Can’t recommend highly enough

    Right from the start everyone we dealt with at Rettie was absolutely fantastic. Friendly, professional and always available. We had a tricky situation at the end of selling and they went above and beyond to help. We really can’t recommend their services enough. Alex Vine And Kate Purdie especially were wonderful to deal with.

    Great Experience with Edinburgh Sales

    We recently sold our property through Rettie and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The whole team was professional, supportive, and efficient throughout the process. Sarah has been fantastic and went above and beyond in the final stages - the dedication and persistence in liaising with the buyer helped get everything over the line smoothly. We’re incredibly grateful for their efforts and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rettie to anyone looking to sell.

    Top class service

    From the initial consultation on valuing our property through to marketing and ultimately selling our property Rettie provided an excellent service. They were very professional, nothing was too much trouble, I was kept informed at all stages of the process. A special mention to Grace and her team who fully supported our journey. I would be happy to recommend Rettie to anyone thinking of selling their property.

    Highly professional, efficient, pleasant and achieved a very good price

    I found the two people I had dealings with (Andrew Smith and Charlotte Canby) truly excellent. I was impressed initially by Andrew's rapport with me. And Charlotte, who actually did the work was everything one could hope for: efficient and attentive far beyond any reasonable expectation. Overall Rettie seems to me to show great professionalism and total integrity. They also obtained a higher price than I thought others were likely to achieve.

    Excellent service

    I would definitely recommend Rettie for buying or selling property. We dealt with Fraser and Hugh who were both really helpful and friendly.
    Fraser made the process of selling our property so easy and stress free and was always there to answer any questions..

    Very efficient from start to finish.

    Very efficient from start to finish.
    From initial visit by Max and then dealing with Maz it all went very smoothly, with regular updates and an idea of those who viewed and their impressions and potential interest in the flat. Not Rettie's error but the only hiccup was the photographer turning up sooner than was planned meaning they missed some extra props I wanted in the photos and no aerial shots as anticipated. But some were added from a previous property marketing. But marketing of the proeprty got underway very quickly.
    Happy to receommend

    Highly recommend Rettie

    I had been setting my property through Rettie for the past 15 years and decided to sell when the tenants were leaving around Christmas last. At every turn the staff there were so helpful in every way throughout the time it was rented and from the time I decided to sell the property. As I live in Ireland and not accustomed to the routine in Edinburgh for selling a property, the staff there were so informative at every turn in the whole process
    I couldn’t recommend them enough.
