    Lucy in particular and Gatekeeper generally have been first class in how they have managed the letting of my flat. Their service is comprehensive and their contact with me is appropriate and clear. The fact that we have not seen the flat since it was first let to previous tenants is testament to how easy it is to deal through Lucy and Gatekeeper.

    After having tried a number of independent and national estate agents we felt totally disillusioned by the promises made on the initial appointment that led to a complete lack of communication and any kind of productive relationship. That completely changed with Dan and the team at Gatekeeper. I have purchased and sold properties in Bristol, Taunton and Swindon and without doubt Gatekeeper are amazing. Superb communication and care and attention from beginning to end. The weekly email and phone calls after the sale was something new to me and made what everyone says is a stressful time, pretty much stress free, thanks Sam. This was all even more awesome as it happened during the Coronavirus pandemic. We 100% urge you to use Gatekeeper - you will be glad you did

    Lucy was very easy to talk to. She made us feel very welcome. We loved the house and put ours on the market so we could move and Gatekeeper sold it really quickly. Very impressed and delighted to have had them support our move.

    Gatekeeper as a whole had been really fantastic with their whole service. Every time we had any questions they were very quick to respond to us. Asheley had been very attentive, easy to contact and approachable. Nothing was ever an issue with her. She gets back to us as soon as she can and has done a very good job, especially through this pandemic. Asheley keeps us updated with everything regarding to the house via phone call and email, which to me is very important. She's very knowledgeable. So far, we have had a good experience with Gatekeeper as a whole

    Hazel was a breath of fresh air. Professional, friendly, direct to the point ( which we love) and she was very knowledgeable about the property. Could answer all our questions. I wish all estate agents could be like Hazel. We have dealt with a lot in the past few months. Honestly she is an assets to your business.
