    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      They were honest, attentive and proactive.
      I can't recommend Jason at White & Guard highly enough. They were honest, attentive, proactive and work very close with you to secure a sale. The staff are amazing and their attention to detail including after sale is second to none. Tara and I would never ever use another estate agent again based on what has been an incredible experience with a company that not only talks about it but follows up every step of the way. Kind regards, Gary"       
    • Seller Testimonial

      The service was excellent.
      The service was excellent from the valuation from Jason, the viewing conducted at sensible times and feedback given very promptly. Also I was impressed by the assistance we were given when discussing the offers to make sure we secured the best buyer for us that allowed us the time to find the right property. Alysa was also of great assistance in regards to pushing the sale along to a conclusion in only about 8 weeks. Would certainly recommend to a friend or family to use White and Guard in the future.

      We will be coming back to you in the future.
      Hope they enjoy the house as much as we have over the last 10 years. Thanks for all your help with this and we will certainly be coming back to you in the future." Rob Burnell
    • Seller Testimonial

      A special thank you to you and your team.
      I want to say a special thank you to you and your team for the way you have dealt with issues that arose. I always felt totally comfortable at all stages though out the sale knowing that you and your team were on hand to liaise in a professional manner, it gives an excellent impression of the service you provide and one that we did not experience buying our last property. Once again thank you for your efforts and patience." Stuart Turner
    • Seller Testimonial

      You deserve all the praise that comes your way.
      From the outset your team at White and Guard presented themselves as a thoroughly professional efficient and caring business. My father passed away last year, and so ensued the business of winding up his affairs. I enquired at several agents, deliberately not being too forthcoming. You stood out as someone not only willing to help, but to think one step further and consider what my onward plans might be. A valuation appointment followed with a sound and reasoned argument for setting the asking price. He efficiency which followed regarding taking photos, floor plans, viewings etc. was quite something to see. Yet you and your team were always ready to listen to any concerns I had, and to answer any questions with tact, diplomacy and understanding. The results speak for themselves.... my house went on the market on 12th April, I accepted an offer by the 25th, and I moved on July 3rd. All aspects of the sales process were dealt with in a timely manner, in the middle of what was a stressful time, with your team remaining calm, practical yet empathetic. I would not hesitate to use your services again - I would urge anyone looking to buy or sell in the area to engage you. The combination of efficiency, professionalism and understanding is of immense importance, and you deserve all the praise that justly comes your way." Suzie Rich
    • Seller Testimonial

      They are communicative and above all else honest.
      "We weren't intending to put our house on the market when we popped in to see Jason in March. We had been near to exchange with other estate agents four times and the experience had left us a bit jaded and we had decided to take two years out to weigh up our options. Jason had maintained a relationship with us despite us not even being with White & Guard and it was this relationship that persuaded us to try one more time to sell. We had one offer before we were even marketed and multiple viewings consistently after we went to market. At no point did I feel that the viewings were being done to keep the numbers up. The prospective purchasers seemed well briefed on the aspects of our property which made it special and those which might not cover off all their requirements. This had not been the case in our past experience. The portal you provided us with ensured we were up to date with what was happening and the feedback posted to the web meant we knew what responses we had to our viewings. Quite quickly we received an offer which was acceptable and you started working in earnest to close the deal. Throughout the remaining process we felt well informed, even when we were kayaking down the Dordogne the team were ringing us to make sure we were kept up to speed on the sale. The team engender trust. They are tenacious and communicative but above all honest. It's made the whole process much more pleasant and the end result is we finally exchanged last week which was fantastic. If I ever sell again the only agent who will be asked to act on our behalf will be White & Guard - we are now advocates for life. " Nicola Morris, Bishops Waltham

      Extremely efficient and friendly.
      "You and your staff were extremely efficient and friendly at all times and I admired the way you kept all parties reasonably calm through the various delays and hiccups that occurred. What impressed me throughout however, was your immediate appreciation of my position and my requirements. At no time did I feel as if I was simply being "sold to". The solution you came up with fitted my needs perfectly." Mr Colin W Long

    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent service.
      "Dear Jason, I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you and the team at White & Guard for your excellent service as my estate agent during the successful sale of my property. Selling your home can be a fraught business in the best of times, but the recent turbulence in the property market has doubled the effect on those of us trying to move. This is when the commitment, enthusiasm and support of one's agent are needed most. Selling in a buoyant market is easy. Selling in a recession requires professionalism of a much higher calibre. And this is where White & Guard shows its true colours. You are simply the best! So, thank you all. You did a brilliant job for me." Mr Hughes
    • Seller Testimonial

      We would definitely recommend your agency.
      "Dear Jason, We would like to express our great appreciation for all the work you have put in over the past few weeks, in order to achieve a successful exchange of contracts, with regards to the sale of Little Owl. This is the second time that we have appointed White and Guard as our agents and we would definitely recommend your agency to anyone who we hear is looking to appoint a professional and friendly service. Moving house is a stressful time and you dealt with various situations which have presented themselves with courtesy and efficiency." Pear & Terry Muers

      Determination to make sure our house went through.
      Apologies for the delay in sending this on to you - we're pretty much settled into the house now but as the wedding gets nearer that is now taking more and more of our time! We just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work leading up to our house purchase. It was a somewhat strange process that seemed quite straightforward at first, then looked as though it wouldn't happen at all and then finally was back on but with a short and strict deadline. Throughout the entire process Alysa was a great help in liaising with all of the various parties involved and she always kept us both informed and updated. Alysa's knowledge, good humour and determination to make sure that the purchase went through was a great help in a stressful time and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend White & Guard to friends and family. We are delighted with our new property and look forward to living in it for many years to come. Thanks again for all of your hard work - it was greatly appreciated. Kind regards. "

      Would certainly recommend to a friend or family
      Apologies I can't come to the office, we have our company boat for the day to take clients out. More than happy to recommend White and Guard to anyone, the service was excellent from the valuation from Jason, the viewing conducted at sensible times and feedback given very promptly. Also I was impressed by the assistance we were given when discussing the offers to make sure we secured the best buyer for us that allowed us the time to find the right property. Alysa was also of great assistance in regards to pushing the sale along to a conclusion in only about 8 weeks. Would certainly recommend to a friend or family to use White and Guard in the future.
