Testimonials
SELLER
Brenda - August 2019 "I have nothing but praise for Howard Estate Agents in Clifton for their professionalism, communication skills, and client support at every stage of a stressful sale. Rachel deserves a special mention -keeping clients up to speed on a near day to day basis, while gently pushing the sale forward. Her proactive skills and client handling are second to none."
SELLER
Hannah - February 2020 "I'd have no hesitation in recommending Howard Estate Agent. Vince and Rachel provided exemplary service from start to finish. They were pro-active, communicative, helpful and friendly and were instrumental in securing our sale. Really glad to have used Howard Estate Agent - these guys are helping to give Estate Agents a good name, well done."
SELLER
Tobias - December 2020 "Rachel Smith at Howard Homes helped us with the rapid sale of our Bristol apartment, in record time in the middle of a pandemic... To pull this off, in record time, everything had to be in order, signed and shared in a timely fashion and a single glitch would have jeopardized the process. But there wasn't a single glitch and the sale went from viewing to exchange and completion in 3 weeks..."
SELLER
'C Neighbour - October 2023 I've bought and sold many properties over the years, but Howard's provided the best estate agent experience I've ever had. From the first conversation with Howard, through to the remarkably quick completion, Rachel Smith and the team made everything seamless. The photographs of the property and the description attracted numerous viewers, and the full asking price was offered on day one. Communication was first-class, and Rachel frequently liaised with my solicitor, and the buyer, to ensure things moved along quickly. Highly recommended!
SELLER
Su Nichols -January 2021 "From our first meeting with Howard right through to completion we have been really impressed. In difficult times, the whole process has been handled really well. Rachel has been efficient, responsive and very helpful throughout keeping us up updated and informed all the way. Would definitely recommend their services."
SELLER
Bill - September 2019 "The whole team at Howard have been fantastic. You can always get through to someone, and they respond promptly to your calls and questions. The real mark of a professional team is when things don't always happen the way you planned - and having 2 house sales fall through, the team at Howard - and particularly Rachel Smith - re-doubled their efforts to find a new buyer and ensure that we got the sale completed. It was a pleasure working with them and I fully recommend them - you can trust them and have confidence that they will deliver what they say they will do."
SELLER
John - August 2019 "Really good and personal approach to all aspects of the property market. Recently sold my flat, that they had previously rented for me. Howard and his teams approach take the stress out of the whole process. Genuinely care about what they do.id highly recommend them in their new endeavor."

The service provided was efficient, honest and staff here have integrity which provided the peace of mind needed when you are selling! If you are thinking of moving, I would not hesitate to recommend them - that personal touch makes all the difference.'

S. Marsden - July 2025 Howard Estate Agents valued, presented and held viewings of my property with care, attention to detail and excellent communication skills.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending them.
SELLER
Aimee - July 2020 "Bought and sold through Howards I purchased my property through Howard's and had such a positive experience that I decided to sell with them too. The team at Howard's sold my property in just a couple of weeks. They provided thorough feedback after every viewing and made the process stress free with their excellent communication throughout the whole process. Couldn't recommend highly enough - thank you!!!"
SELLER
Hannah - March 2020 "Fantastic, knowledgeable team and outstanding service! Would 100% recommend! After marketing the property for a very short time with Howard Homes we secured a sale. The process with extremely quick and efficient and the communication throughout the sale by Rachel was outstanding - the best we have received from an agent (and we have dealt with a lot). We only wish that we had used Howard Homes from the go instead of wasting 6 months with another agent!"
SELLER

SELLER
J Cross - July 2022 'I used Howard to sell my flat recently. Howard understood completely the unique selling points of the flat and got the pricing right so that there wasn't an unnecessary volume of viewings but enough to sell it quickly. Rachel was very helpful in moving the sales process along and ensured that there were no avoidable delays. My husband also used Howard to sell his house 2 years ago and had an equally great experience. I can honestly say that I thoroughly recommend Howard Estate Agents.'
SELLER
Jonathan - August 2019 "Both when they were my letting agents and when supervising the subsequent property sale, the team led by Howard Davis showed that they really understand what is meant by service and customer support, Rachel Smith is a star sale negotiator.

I never felt pressured and knew that if I needed a response quickly, I would get one. The whole team that I dealt with seemed to know about the sale so it was great to know I could speak to any member regarding the property."
BUYER
Mr Giavarini - April 2022 'Rachel has been great. She made sure the purchase process of our first house was as easy as possible. Her timely emails were always a step ahead and helped us to focus our attention on the right priorities. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Rachel and Howard! Thanks.'
BUYER
Ms Waterhouse - November 2022 "I bought my flat from Howard's Estate agents, and was so impressed with the service I used them again to sell my property. All the staff were fabulous, but Rachel was my main port of call and managed both parties even when inevitable challenges arose. We all wanted a quick turnaround and that is what we got. Everybody moved on time and we are all in our new properties within a short space of time. It definitely isn't the easiest of jobs. Thanks Howard, Rachel and the rest of the team."
BUYER
EPC Wilkinson - July 2022 'We recently purchased our first home through Howard Estate Agents. Howard, Rachel and the rest of the team were all friendly, helpful, and highly professional, and worked with us to get the purchase through as quickly and smoothly as possible. We were never left feeling 'out of the loop' as Rachel kept us updated, as well as being very responsive and proactively chasing the vendor's solicitors whenever needed. The gift of a bottle of crémant when we completed was a lovely touch too! Thanks all.'

Would 10/10 recommend."

TENANT
We popped into Howard in Clifton a a few months back to register our interest in renting a property. Met with Chris who was friendly and listened to our requirements. He was able to take us to and show us round a property there and then that exactly matched what we told him would be suitable. Chris was on hand to answer any questions and anything he was unsure of, he got us answers from the Landlord the let the property on behalf of. We went and away and had a think and after a quick second viewing agreed the let the next day. From there the process was smooth and hassle free and referencing completed in quick time, and asking to pop round and take a few measurements before we moved in was no problem at all. Great service all round and have been settled in the perfect property for a a couple of months now! Fully recommend and highly rate the service provided..
