    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Fabulous first class service...thanks to all the team at iBay Homes for their friendliness and professionalism while selling our house. From initial valuation to completion the service we received could not be faulted. Having their support and regular updates during what can be a stressful time was very reassuring for us. We would have no hesitation in recommending iBay Homes for buying and selling property. Thank You,
    • Seller Testimonial

      iBay have done an amazing job of selling a flat for us in a challenging and changing market. They have consistently stayed in contact, acted immediately as needed and given realistic, timely advice. Our second iBay experience has been just as positive as the first; I have no doubt that they are the best agent in our local area. Thanks ladies (and Graham) for being helpful, professional and offering excellent customer service. We really appreciate what you offer, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend iBay wholeheartedly.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Absolutely First Class service. Several viewings straight away and house sold within 13 days of being put up for sale. Ibay kept me fully informed of all aspects of the sale. They are the most proactive estate agents that I have ever dealt with taking the initiative communicating with the vendor, the purchaser and their respective solicitors. 11/10
    • Seller Testimonial

      Highly recommended for its customer centred approach and I feel that they put us first rather than their commission unlike other companies. ibay Homes recommended a valuation for our property that was good and fair, together with competitive fees. We certainly got excellent value for our fees: numerous vuewings followed by 3 offers with fantastic negotiation to secure the asking price! After this , they kept in regular contact for updates and to support and to reassure. The sale would have gone through quickly but delayed by a slow Probate office but during this time staff went the extra mile by reassuring and managing expectations. Big thanks especially to Hayley Carter-Steele!
    • Seller Testimonial

      The service we have received both buying and selling has been a pleasure. All the way through we have had the best of support and advise. I am certain your internet advertising yielded the buyer for our property and it certainly helped us find our new home. On every phone call to your office we had friendly and helpful staff to talk to. It made a world of difference when dealing with very important issues. With sincere regards to you all, a very happy and satisfied customer.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      I purchased a house that iBay were marketing: I found them easy to deal with and they promptly obtained answers to the questions I asked. Once my offer had been accepted, they were proactive in chasing all parties involved in the transaction (buyer, seller, surveyors and solicitors). I have no hesitation in recommending them.
