        ..so helpful and supportive of my unusual requests
        Dear Jon & Hilary

        I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your excellent service to us during this time. During the preparation of the details of sale Hilary was so helpful and supportive of my unusual requests, and, made them happen. 

        Both Hilary and Jon were extremely professional which resulted in us achieving the price we had agreed we would sell at, and, ensured our sale proceeded, as agreed with us, despite some real challenges along the way. 

         I would not hesitate to recommend you all and would certainly engage your services in the future. 

         Kind Regards Jacquie and Mick

        ...very thankful for your negotiations
        Good morning Peter, 

         Thank you all for your very professional handling of my sale and purchase. I was particularly impressed with the prompt way that every query was dealt with, and very thankful for your negotiations with Barry. Lime Park Mews is perfect for me. Please pass on my thanks to everyone.

        process dealt with like a 'breath of fresh air'
        'Thank you very much to all the staff at the Poundbury office, especially Peter Grout Smith for dealing with the sale of my mother's flat. Throughout the process all staff were professional, friendly and helpful and always kept us fully informed about viewings and feedback from potential buyers. The decision on guide price, sale negotiations and updates on progress were handled extremely well - you kept us better informed than our solicitors! The manner in which the whole process was dealt with was like a 'breath of fresh air' and I would definitely come back to you to deal with any future property sales.' I am not someone who normally writes reviews but I am extremely grateful to you for managing to sell the flat as quickly and efficiently as you did - particularly as we now have to deal with another flat and estate in Newcastle! Many thanks again for all your help. Best wishes Jane Taylor

         really appreciated your taking on board our views
        Dear Peter Thank you for your call yesterday to let us know that we have now completed on 16 Queen's Avenue. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the work you put into the sale of the house. As our previous two house sales had not been made through an estate agent, we were a little nervous about the process. We initially chose you because we did not get the notorious "estate agent sales-speak"! We felt you were seeing our house as our home and not just your commission, which was a welcome relief and definitely different from your competitors. We really appreciated your taking on board our views as to the price the house should go onto the market and the brochure was really lovely. As the process progressed and we struggled a little with our solicitor, your facilitation of the sale and your considerate assistance was professional and very well judged. At no time did we feel that we were anything other than valued clients and this undoubtedly helped us to feel really positive about selling our much loved home. Thank you for everything you and your colleagues did to help us happily move across to Bristol, where we are settling in fast and feeling very positive about our new life here. With warm wishes Jo and Justin B

        I valued the way you kept me informed of progress
        Dear Peter

         Thank you for the way you handled the sale of number 3. As usual I was proved right to choose Symonds and Sampson as our agent. Your advice to apply for the search as soon as we put the house on the market, in the light of the delays that are being experienced in West Dorset, speeded up the sale by at least 2 months.

         I also appreciated you conducting most of the viewings personally. I valued the way you kept me informed of progress throughout the sale process, particularly once the conveyancing was underway. Please pass on my thanks to other members of your team who assisted with the sale. Everyone was unfailingly professional and helpful.

        Kind regards

        At all times the team were highly professional.
         I can highly recommend Jon Summers and all the team at Symonds and Sampson when it comes to selling property. Out of 3 agents I had value my property, Symonds and Sampson came in with the highest valuation by some way and delivered on that valuation. All through the process there was a steady stream of viewers and a reinvigoration of marketing where required. At all times the team were highly professional. Thanks again for your assistance.

        Can't recommend them highly enough.

        I couldn't be happier with Symonds & Sampson. Peter and Hilary throughout the entire process were very professional. They kept me up to date at every stage with the sale of my mum's bungalow. Whether it was by e mail, text or phone calls. I would give 10 out of 10 for their hard work. Can't recommend them highly enough.

        Very likeable and friendly team

        "The Symonds and Sampson team added real value to the sale process. They gave professional and honest advice on the best approach to selling my property.

        After going through a number of options and my priorities, their advice and knowledge of the local market was vital in securing a quick sale, which couldn't have been smoother.

        Not only are they professional, but they are a very likeable and friendly team - I would have no hesitation in suggesting them to anyone looking for a diligent, motivated agency."

        Cheers, Ian

        Morning Hilary & Peter 

         Just a quick note to thank you both and your team at Symonds & Sampson for making the purchase of our dream house happen, and all so efficiently considering some difficult circumstances. You have always kept us in informed and responded quickly to any queries we have raised, and a special thanks also to Jane for letting us have access to Orchard House on numerous occasions. 

         It was being so impressed with the initial contact with your branch that we decided to let the Poundbury office handle the sale of our other property in the village. We promise to give you a call once the house is all refurbished so you can come and see the transformation. Lets hope it isn't so long that you have all retired by then! We couldn't resist a sleepover last night! Thank you also for the vino and vouchers. 

         Speak soon, and thanks again
