      professional, helpful and caring throughout
      Mr and Mrs M from Bournemouth - Dear Ms Gravener, We are so pleased we choose Hearnes to sell our home. This was based on our experience when we brought the property through your firm. We have sold and bought many times over the years but we have never sold so easily and quickly! It was fantastic that you found our buyer without even marketing the property. This took so much stress out of the process although there was plenty of stress down the line.  Matt did us proud and we would ask you to convey our thanks to him.
