Testimonials
SELLER
We were extremely pleased with the service we had from Steven and his colleagues. He was proactive in the sale of our house and made sure the process stayed on track. There was always someone to talk to at the office if we had questions and we were kept up-to-date with what was happening. I would happily recommend Fine & Country Bath.

I would strongly recommend Steve and the Team at Fine & Country (Bath), who surpassed my expectations when I needed a fast turnaround to prepare my property for listing. Their attention to detail and communication has been exemplary throughout and I really appreciated their support during the entire sales process; which fortunately resulted in a successful completion, following a few false starts (all of which were out of their direct control). Highly recommended, great service.

I had a fantastic experience selling my farmhouse with Fine & Country. Matt and Steve did a great job from start to finish — always professional, yet a pleasure to work with. They kept me regularly updated throughout the process and gave valuable advice on how best to present the property for sale. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again for any future sale. Highly recommended!

Fine & Country Bath have provided us with a great service when we bought our house and then again when we sold it 8 years later. The owners of the Bath branch of Fine & Country were personally involved in the process which we considered to be vital and therefore helped sell the house in record time and with the most competitive fees.
