      Very impressed with the initial advice
      We would like to thank all of your team for handling the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new property, we appreciated the efforts that you all put in. 
    • Seller Testimonial

      very knowledgeable and professional
      It was a pleasure to work with the Rettie team at Berwick. We initially bought our house through Rettie, and were impressed with them then. For that reason, when unexpected circumstances forced us to relocate, we returned to Rettie to sell. We were even more impressed. From initial discussions, through to sale, we found the team very knowledgeable and professional, providing advice and support throughout. In particular, Amy provided regular updates on interest and provided market research which assisted us in getting the best offer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie.
