      My faith has been restored in Estate Agents
      My faith has been restored in Estate Agents When I contacted Patrick Gardner I was at a low point having been badly let down and treated appallingly by another agent. Then I met the wonderful Andrew Dronfield the senior sales negotiator from Patrick Gardner, who literally took control of the situation. He listened to me, found the perfect buyer for my house and took all the stress out of the transaction. Then I was introduced to Patricia Carrol who is the sales progressor at Patrick Gardner. Again I cant compliment her enough.. She kept me up to speed every step of the way, even taking my calls on her days off. If you are looking to sell your home then please look no further than Patrick Gardner. I cant recommend them enough

      no hesitation in recommending their services
      Our journey to Patrick Gardner started with Bruce Shaw. He provided a professional valuation based on an assessment of the market which reflected competency and integrity and helped us to put our trust into the whole process. We chose them with no prior knowledge of the firm, but were immediately drawn to his truthful and clear demonstration of the steps, and a clear local market knowledge. He followed this up with regular communication and availability on his mobile as our house sale progressed. From the marketing of our house, brochureware and online photography + descriptions, to the final sale process we felt were in safe hands with Patrick Gardner. The team were highly engaged, organised and responsive from the off and our sales coordinator Jullie Barratt, did her utmost to coordinate solicitors and communications across the board as the sale neared the exchange. Thank you to the whole team involved, we have no hesitation in recommending their services to other perspective house sellers in the area. Sincerely Dominic and Alison Trigg.

      it was under offer in less than 2 weeks
      I cannot recommend Patrick Gardner in Leatherhead highly enough - particularly Andrew and Patricia. Having struggled previously to sell my flat, once they took over it was under offer in less than 2 weeks. Throughout the selling process their professional and courteous team were so supportive and patient - nothing was too much trouble. They took fantastic pictures which certainly aided the quick sale, were always on the end of the phone when needed and made a normally stressful few months so much easier. I will certainly use them again in the future and urge anyone in the local area to give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

      calm, professional and diligent
      We used Patrick Gardner to sell our house in Leatherhead. Calm, professional and diligent they have made what is a stressful experience as easy as possible. We dealt with Andrew for the sale and Julie as a "sales progressor". This role was vital as it managed the whole process of dealing with the lawyers and the chain. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her help. I would highly recommend Patrick Gardner Leatherhead and the team.
