Georgie and her team went above and beyond with the sale of my elderly parent’s house. They were super supportive and patient with both my parents and communicated with the right person at the right time to make things happen super quick. The whole team were fantastic and we would recommend McCarthy and Booker to anyone wanting a professional service with a can do attitude. They have made life a little easier for us all, thank you.

I used McCarthy & Booker for my sale and my purchase. They were fantastic right from the beginning with tips for presenting the house well for potential buyers and amazing photos that really did my property justice. They were really proactive both at looking for buyers for my property and helping me to find a new property to buy. When I eventually found my dream house they pulled out all the stops to help make it happen for me. Always responsive, always cheerful and friendly. Worth the money

Can’t fault the service of Georgie and her team. We had an offer within two weeks of listing, which we accepted and everything was straightforward through to completion. The team kept in regular contact with us as sellers, and prompted solicitors as needed. A personable yet professional service, many thanks.

We are incredibly grateful to McCarthy & Booker for their outstanding support in selling our property—especially given the unexpected delays along the way. From start to finish, their team demonstrated unwavering dedication, patience, and professionalism that made all the difference. Despite the hurdles, they never lost momentum. Communication was always clear and timely, and we felt reassured knowing they were consistently working behind the scenes to keep things moving.

We recently sold our late Mum’s apartment with the support of McCarthy and Booker and we couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through the process. What initially seemed like a straightforward sale became unexpectedly protracted, but throughout it all, the team remained incredibly supportive, responsive, and helpful. Their professionalism, patience, and clear communication made a stressful situation so much easier to manage. We’re very grateful for everything they did

Friends who had used McCarthy &Booker to both buy and sell had highly recommended them. I was not disappointed - they were very professional in their approach. The team : Georgie, Paul, Tracey and Catherine were all involved. They always had time to listen when I popped into the office. I had many viewings and very good feedback but it took some time to sell. When I eventually had an offer the transaction was not exactly straightforward but they sorted it with care and helped me all the way. I w

Our chain was very challenging to say the least. However, from start to finish, selling & buying, the team at McCarthy & Booker were amazing - professional, caring, communicative and all with a smile & sense of humour. Georgie is so positive, Tracey & Catherine dedicated to answering concerns and reassure. Paul always gave honest viewing feedback. They really know their job and care about their clients.

Having moved house 27 times in the last 40 years we have dealt with many estate agents, including 5 different firms on the Isle of Wight. McCarthy and Booker are head and shoulders above all the rest. With 4 highly professional staff, all of whom are happy to go the extra mile, I run out of superlatives trying to describe their service. Could not be happier.

Buying and selling as we know can be one of the most stressful times. Couldn’t ask for a better team to deal with. Nothing to difficult always felt supported, communication between buyer and seller is crucial, with Georgie and her team nothing was to difficult and this made the experience so much easier.

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish. We purchased our property through McCarthy & Booker and could not have wished for a better estate agent to deal with. Paul met us at the property to show us around and was knowledgeable and very personable. This was our no 1 property and Paul helped us achieve our goal of securing it. Throughout the whole process they kept us informed of what was happening and also requested updates from us to ensure their vendor knew where the process was at.

Georgie, Catherine and the team at McCarthy & Booker were fantastic when I recently bought a property in Cowes. They were friendly, proactive and helped to get the deal done quickly. On completion I was delighted to receive a lovely goody bag with some housewarming essentials (loo roll, tea, mug etc). It's the small thoughtful gestures that make all the difference! I would highly recommend McCarthy & Booker if you're looking to make a property purchase on the Isle of Wight.
