    Darryl Stanley - SALES DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER
    Growing up in Weeley and Tendring, Darryl is a hugely experienced property professional for such a young man (his words!).

    At Grammar school back in the early 1990's, his classmates once voted him the most likely to own and run his own business - that's always stuck with him and like his clients today, he could not let them down! Darryl learnt his trade from his family business, he demands from himself the very highest personal and professional standards.

    University educated with a first class Human Resource Management degree, Darryl brings a passion for people, property, technology and uncompromising standards of interior photography and service levels into all of his work.

    Rachael is our duly qualified Property Manager and currently resides in sunny Clacton-on-Sea, she has recently become a new grandmother which she adores!

    She gained her lettings experience and qualifications at Tendring Lettings in Thorpe-le-Soken, when Tracy Churchwood took her under her wing while being the Manager there. Rachael's mainly responsible for the ongoing daily management of the lettings property maintenance issues and the periodic property site inspections.

    In addition to conducting & producing our Inventories & Schedules of Condition (ISC) she also carries out the majority of our Check In's and Check Out's at the start and end of tenancies she is full of life, always laughing and dedicated to her family outside of work, Rachael is the main "go to" for getting things done and hence has one of the most demanding jobs in the office having to deal with the day to day problems coming in from tenants, yet she remains patient, calm and collected with genuine interest and empathy to her work.

      We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Darryl from 'Churchwood Stanley' to anyone hoping to buy or sell a house. Darryl is calm, understanding and not at all pushy, willing to listen and extremely professional. In our experience, he and his colleagues, offered a five star service in reality, not just in reviews.

      couldn't have done it without you...
      What an amazing experience we had through Churchwood Stanley!

      We can not compare them to any other estate agents we have used in the past. Everyone involved was polite, helpful, knowledgeable and you felt you meant something rather than just being a "client".

      I can't recommend Darryl and his team highly enough! Seriously, amazing company and people! Thank you again for all your help with selling our house and helping us buy our new home - we couldn't have done it without you and you made the whole process easy and as pain free as possible!! Thank you again!!

      They CARE, I mean REALLY care...
      Darryl and his team are amongst the most professional estate agents that I have worked with. From the moment Darryl rolled through the front door, his sheer enthusiasm for what he does shone through.

      Unlike other estate agents, he came up with an ingenious and very commercially thought out strategy.  It worked!

      It wasn't an easy sale, however, Darryl was always polite and pragmatic. Towards the end, I am sure he had had enough! I cannot thank Darryl or his team enough. They CARE, I mean REALLY care about you, what you want and need and will support you every step of the way. I would personally recommend them to friends and family.

      a pleasure to deal with...
      Darryl and everyone working at Churchwood Stanley are a pleasure to deal with.

      Darryl handles the property sales and is a first class person. He is professional and efficient. His communication skills are excellent. I was kept updated on the sale of my property throughout the whole process. Darryl works so hard to bring everything together for a successful sale. It is thanks to his efforts that everyone stays calm and patient while the chain of sale goes through. I highly recommend Churchwood Stanley for selling a property and I would not go to any other estate agent.

      amazing from start to finish!
      What can we say? other than Darryl and the rest of the team at Churchwood Stanley were absolutely amazing from start to finish! We were kept up-to-date on a daily basis, nothing was too much trouble. The whole experience was a positive one in which we felt genuinely cared about.

      It was more like speaking to friends than people we'd only just met, so much nicer than any other agents we've dealt with. Even after completion and we'd moved into an area we didn't know, they still kept in contact and continued to be of help. We cannot recommend Churchwood Stanley enough, they go above and beyond. Thank you Darryl for everything.

      Exceptional...
      This review requires many more stars... Firstly I would like to say Darryl & Churchwood Stanley have truly has been exceptional.

      Darryl was able to sell our property within a tight 2 week window enabling me to purchase our dream property. Despite all odds being against this becoming a possibility, we successfully exchanged yesterday. Darryl was always there throughout a very stressful 8 week process and he was offering assistance and support at all times to ensure a smooth transaction. I wouldn't hesitate in using Darryl & Churchwood Stanley services again and I will be highly recommending them to friends, family and the local community. Thank you!

      weekly contact...
      The service we received from Darryl was truly exceptional.

      We lost our buyer twice, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control but, third time lucky - the sale of my Grandmother's house went through. Darryl kept in weekly contact with me throughout the process and responded immediately to any queries I had. I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone. He made what is usually a very stressful process very straightforward - thank you so much!

      Darryl is your man...
      I really cant rave about Darryl @churchwood Stanley enough!! I really do believe they are the best Estate Agent out there and I have full confidence in the way he deals with the whole process.

      I came to Darryl asking him to help me with the sale of my property and he got everything put in place so quickly, the property was sold for the full asking price within 4 weeks which was amazing!

      He replies to my emails and answers my calls so quickly and I am never left wondering what's happening like you do with most Estate Agents. I am kept in the loop at all times. If you want a pain free/stress free polite friendly service... Darryl is your man!!!

      hard work paid off...
      A truly fantastic service from Darryl and the team. I have never been so willing to pay my estate agent fees. Darryl earned every penny (twice over). I wouldn't normally do reviews like this but wanted to share our experience and recommend others to take advantage of this excellent company. I brought Darryl on board after a week of frustration with a different agent.

      My previous agent had messed me around for a week in their efforts to produce a very mediocre set of sales particulars. I invited Darryl around and he demonstrated that he had an eye for detail and managed to produce first class sales particulars with stunning photos, 100% correct on first draft.

      He found a large number of prospective buyers and bent over backwards to accommodate viewings if we were unable to do them. I had total confidence in his ability to showcase our home.

      Darryl hard work paid off and we found a buyer and agreed a great price. This is where Darryl really came into his own. His efforts after sale were much appreciated and were in stark contrast to the efforts of other agents in the chain and other agents I've dealt with in the past. He was always available to get the updates I wanted and to help push things along as required. He does so well to juggle all of the people he is dealing with and make you confident that your own situation is important to him.

      I've already recommend Darryl to a family member and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. If you are looking for a great agent, then look no further. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Darryl.

      a rarer find...
      Darryl was so incredibly supportive in helping us get our complex move over the line. Without his support I'm not sure it would have gone ahead. Lots of agents can sell you a house - but those that stick around and help you through the tricky months that follow with patience and skill, are a much rarer find.

      outshone our own agent...
      What an amazing buying experience with Churchwood Stanley. Darryl was the agent for the sellers of the home we were buying and he completely outshone our own agents who were selling our property. He was communicative, supportive and very professional.

      We would recommend Churchwood Stanley very very highly, we were so delighted with the level of service we received. They went above and beyond to help and I am certain that the whole chain would not have reached the desired time frame without Darryl's input and micro management for the whole chain. Well done and thank you so much Darryl.

      We were first time buyers and Darryl and the team at Churchwood Stanley made the process so straightforward and clear. Darryl was so helpful from the first viewing right the through to moving in (and even the in the weeks after made himself available to answer any questions about the house). Highly recommend them.
