    Outstanding Top Class Service

    I received top class service from Vincent, Grace and the rest of the team at Rettie Shawlands .
    I couldn’t fault them at all , nothing was too much to ask from selling my home to helping me find a temporary rental property.
    I will definitely be recommending them to my friends and family.
    Thank you
    Thomas & Pauline

    The service I received was first class

    We will never be able to thank Rettie’s enough, Andrew in particular for handling the sale of our home of 33 years. He achieved a figure we hadn’t even thought of. Not only was he instrumental in selling our house but because of the way he negotiated our sale, he directly contributed to us securing our new home which we love so much. Communication was first class and highly professional. Not only that, it was warm hearted and sincerely caring. Impeccable manners, and a polite and articulate voice on the end of the phone is of great importance when you are talking to someone who has been given responsibility for selling your most treasured family asset. I often struggle to hear properly on the phone and I found it a great comfort to listen to the beautifully spoken and clear voices of Andrew, Emma and Holly. The young ladies are to be thanked for their kindness and patience when I was contacted by them to arrange viewings. Grateful thanks to you all.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie’s.

    Really worked hard to get a sale

    Really worked hard to sell the flat, despite a hopelessly over-optimistic Home Report valuation. Excellent communication. Good sales brochure promoting the positive aspects of the property.

    Professional service leading to a successfulsale.

    Rettie's had managed our rental property for a number of years. When we decided to sell, the service from both the property management and sales teams was excellent, with good communication between them.
    The sales/marketing process led by Gavin and Sarah went very smoothly and we were able to complete the sale in a relativelyshort time.

    Andrew Ligertwood was excellent throught the process of selling our house through Retties. As first-time sellers he guided us through the process at every step. His communication was excellent throughout - on time, clear and informative. The process went faster than we imagined and we got a higher value for the property than initially considered - I am sure that this was in part down to Andrew's shrewd judgement and the professionalism shown in dealings with the buyers. I'd recomment his services without reservation.

    Rettie Newton Mearns

    We recently sold our home through Rettie Newton Mearns with a service that was nothing short of exceptional. Alison & the team were a pleasure to deal with - we had a few bumps in the road with buyers but Alison kept us calm & reassured us that everything would work out in the end & it did! Our home went under offer within 24hrs & Rettie helped us achieve a great sale price. I would highly recommend Rettie to buy or sell your next home, we’ve sold with them twice & it’s been absolutely first class. Thank you team Rettie’
