Having been in business for almost 20 years James Gesner has built an excellent reputation for his hands on approach to selling and renting properties in the South Oxfordshire area. James and his staff have extensive local knowledge yielding approximately 50 years combined experience, with a wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with honesty, integrity and professionalism. Our reputation is extremely important to us and we take pride in what we do.

When you instruct James Gesner to market your property we are not just selling your home, we are selling the area in which we also live and work. Knowing your patch is paramount and we get asked all the time about the local schools, where the nearest shop is, which gym is best suited, and what golf club can I join. This is extremely important to us and in turn gives people the confidence that they are purchasing in the right area for their partners and families.

We always endeavour to give excellent advice which you can rely on, to vendors and purchasers alike.

Long before it became the trend we offered to do accompanied viewings, both the vendors and the purchasers prefer this, it leaves you free to look after the children or pets and us to show prospective purchasers around your property and extol the virtues of it. Our offices are open 7 days a week 08:30 - 18:30 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 16:00 Sunday. The websites are there for you 24 hrs a day and updated on a daily basis.

On first point of contact with you we will take the time to listen to all your requirements we specialise in fitting the right person to the right property, very often we liaise both a sale and purchase, at all times keeping you informed as to what is happening. This means keeping in touch with you your purchaser, solicitors, other Agents in the chain and Mortgage companies and last but not least the Mortgage valuer and Structural surveyor. We have an enviable reputation amongst local Mortgage valuers that when they need comparables they come to us as their first port of call, as they comment "If you don't know nobody does"!

Most people do not realise that unless we can justify the price the purchaser is paying it will not value up on Mortgage i.e. if you need a high percentage Mortgage you will not get it if the comparables do not stack up.

60% of the work on your sale and potential related purchase is done after a sale is put in hand if your Agent is doing their job properly.

We invest a considerable amount of time and money in the training of our staff, with all of our staff qualifying in their relevant fields afforded to us by both the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and the Association of Residential Lettings (ARLA).

Many of our clients are from recommendation and repeat business. We regularly received gifts on completion day as well as testimonials.

Gone are the days when if your property was at a certain price level you automatically instructed a National Agent. The Internet has now transformed how properties are marketed increasingly enquiries are through the web whilst it is nice to see your property in Country Life you the vendor pay for that privilege. Local Agents like us can and do offer National and International coverage through online avenues such as our own super new website, Primelocation and Rightmove which are all extremely successful attracting enquiries worldwide and are recognised as the UK's two leading property websites, as well as our network of 800 like minded independent agents via the Guild of Property Professionals.

We are dedicated to seeing your sale through from our first point of contact with you. Being a family run business our ethos is to look after you and to see the sale and purchase through to a successful conclusion so ensuring that you are happy and recommend our service to others.

We regularly support local events and in recent years James has run the London Marathon for two charities raising nearly £10,000 in the process. In 2015 we decided to support a local charity called footsteps and since then have raised over £20,000 for them to support disabled children and their families going through life changing physio therapy to get them walking and mobile for the first time.

We are extremely fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful area and having been working in agency for almost 20 years James knows the area like the back of his hand. Having worked in both Wallingford and Didcot James is one of the most experienced agents in the area. South Oxfordshire has always been an extremely popular area to live being in such close proximity to London with easy commuter links via Didcot Parkway.

Land has always been in short supply in this area and this has lead to Clients seeking our advice as to whether they have a potential plot at the side or rear of their property. Often at times this is the case, and we successfully deal with the Planners on their behalf or introduce a specialist Planner to them. Over the years we have been the preferred Agent for a large number of well respected Local Developers covering a 25 mile radius and more recently we have partnered with Taylor Wimpey who have asked us to be their recommended Estate Agent for rental properties.
