    Efficient and professional service

    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. We secured an offer very quickly and the sale was handled smoothly. Thank you Jen and Kevin!

    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.

    Very professional and communicative

    This was my first time selling a house and I had loads of questions, but Caitlin at Rettie was brilliant all the way through. She was really easy to talk to, quick to reply, and kept me updated at every stage. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Made the whole process a lot less stressful than I expected. Would definitely recommend Caitlin and Rettie if you’re thinking of selling.

    Responsive and professional.

    Responsive and professional. Provided us with a potentially ambitious initial valuation (compared with other agents) which was ultimately exceeded. We re not sure we would have achieved the result we did without that ambitious perspective. All very smooth and professional.
