Selling your home

  • paragraph

    • The Swindon property market is busy, buzzing and very competitive, so standing out from the crowd is important - and we've being that for 20 years.

      We've got great teams at all of our branches in Old Town, Highworth, Wroughton, West Swindon, East Swindon and Royal Wootton Bassett. They know their local markets inside out and that knowledge really is power. Insight and involvement in the communities we serve puts us right where we need to be - in the know, ahead of everyone else. Our extended network of property and people gives you more choice in what you're looking for and provides a better spread of buyers for your home.

      We work for you. You and your home. You and your new home. You and Richard James. It's all about the perfect fit.

    The market moves fast... we move faster
    • Your home has to be seen in the right places by the right people at the right time - and at the right price. Valuations are always bang on the money because a key part of our sales service is ensuring you get what you want for your property. You're a one-off and so is your home. Detailed local market knowledge and recent sale prices are guides, but we understand exactly what it is about your home that makes it special, highlighting its unique features to appeal to the right buyers.

      We've also got more tech than you can shake a stick at. All our valuers and negotiators have the latest mobile devices and iPads all linked to our operating system, to our website and global property portals, so when we're out and about we have instant access to the market and to everyone buying and selling at the tap of a finger. We can arrange viewings instantly and we'll always aim to do that around you.

      Contact your local branch for more information today.

    Barrie Brocks - Branch Manager
    Barrie's quite new to Richard James although he has been helping people with their property shopping in Swindon for over 30 years. A relic of the 80's, he learned his trade when measuring sticks and black&white photographs were cutting edge. "Way before the Interweb even existed", he reminds us....(and we smile politely)Grandad, as he's known to his younger colleagues, is arguably the most experienced agent in the company and hasn't looked back since we swapped his typewriter for a laptop. A man with a fountain of knowledge and a new lease of life, Barrie hasn't stopped smiling since he joined us. He's like a dog with a bone... dependable, eager to please and very, very well trained.

    Emma Middleton - Assistant Manager
    What Emma lacks in height she make up for in personality! She is the life and soul of the office/party and is always happy & smiling. After almost 20 years' experience, Emma still absolutely loves her job and is passionate about matching people with the right properties. We guess she's in the right place then! Emma loves being part of the West Swindon community and regularly helps with events at Brook Field Primary School where her daughter attends. She has also started doing Ultra Challenges (walking though, running isn't her thing!) which helps to maintain that healthy balance along with the odd glass (bottle) of Prosecco!

    Steven Hendry - Sales Valuer/Negotiator
    Steven's, or Jock to his friends, may hail from Glasgow but there's not a street in Swindon he doesn't know like the back of his hand having lived here for over 30 years. Not only is he a property whizz, Steven used to be a bit of a rockstar in his younger days, and can still bang out a tune on his Gibson SG guitar. When he's not rocking and rolling in the office, you can find him at his son's football games or taking his wee dog for a walk.

    Accommodating Adam spends his day helping people find their dream homes. Whether it's attending viewing appointments or assisting buyers or sellers, his drive to do the best he possibly can for his clients means he always gets the job done.Football, cars, and Forumla 1 are Adam's favourite things and his weekends are usually spent at a breakfast car meet, or sprawled out on the sofa enjoying the football. He considers himself a bit of a 'Tiger Woods' on the crazy golf course and a 'Gordon Ramsay' in the kitchen, but, as you can imagine, we have yet to witness these in action.Dependable, tenacious, and driven, you're in safe hands with Adam as your negotiator.

      The service  from start to finish has been superb
      Ms R - West Swindon

      I am delighted to be able to write this review following the sale of our property through Richard James. The service we have received from start to finish has been superb. We have been kept informed each step of the way and nothing has been too much trouble for them. They sold our property in less than a week of it being put on the market and I'm sure this was down to the very professional work carried out by Alex and his team at Ramleaze office, thank you all so very much. We cannot thank all of them enough. If you are looking to sell or purchase then we highly recommend this estate agents to you, fantastic experience and service. Thank you all.

      Richard James - the go to estate agent in Swindon
      Mr M - West Swindon

      Sue and I would like to thank all of the staff at Richard James. Between them they kept our chain together. We initially sold within 4 days of going on the market back in March 2018. This however fell through twice. (No ones fault) They worked hard to find us a new buyer at the beginning of June and our chain of 8 properties finally completed on 18th October. I put the success of this move down to one significant fact. We used a local, traditional Estate Agent. I cannot emphasise enough the advantages of being able to deal with your agent face to face if you need to. On numerous occasions throughout this process our patience was tested by others in our chain. The progressions team worked flat out to keep me up to date with any issues. They held our chain together with all the skill, diplomacy and experience that comes from a best in class estate agent. We would not hesitate in recommending Barrie, his team at Shaw. Make no mistake, Richard James are the go to estate agent in Swindon. I will be completing individual testimonials in due course.
