James and his team handled a complex sale (house and adjacent land owned by a third party) with great professionalism and innovation and determination to secure our sale. He was also cognisant of our time scales in that we had not secured an onward purchase or rental property. James is an extremely approachable agent who always worked with us to successfully achieve our goals and certainly went ‘the extra mile’ when required. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

"We were so pleased with all the correspondence with Phillip Martin and you all certainly delivered a very professional and friendly service. We would particularly like to thank you for all your personal correspondence with Mrs. Dianne Jones. It went above and beyond and we are truly grateful.  As I mentioned before we have only ever bought two houses and they were both through Phillip Martin. We will certainly use you guys in the future!"

You have behaved rapidly and helpfully to assist me with all of the problems that arose for me in one of several difficult projects at once. Thank you very much.
