      Sam went above and beyond for us
      Thank you to Sam and everyone at Key Drummond for being such lovely and helpful people. 
      Sam was amazing throughout the process of selling our flat for us. 
      Communication was fantastic.

      Superb service, would thoroughly recommend
      We initially put our house on the market with a different estate agent and didn't have the best experience. 
      After viewing a couple of houses via Key Drummond we realised the difference in service they offered. 
      Everyone we've dealt with has been nothing but helpful and Chris went above and beyond. 
      Sam took time to get to know us and more about our property and having this understanding meant we sold quickly. 
      They have supported us through the process every step of the way, with nothing being too much trouble. 
      If you are looking for an estate agent I would thoroughly recommend the team at Key Drummond.
