      Testimonials from Sellers

      • Seller Testimonial

        Ralph James' marketing is really impressive
        Marie-Elise worked incredibly hard within a severe downturn in the uk's economic conditions to find a buyer and complete the sale of our house. There were a few last - minute issues to overcome, but Marie-Elise proactively and calmly facilitated the quick resolution of these. Ralph James' marketing is really impressive and did a great job in showcasing our house; and it is on a different level to the offerings of its competitors. We would thoroughly recommend Ralph James.

      • Seller Testimonial

        Marie-Elise was amazing from start to finish
        Putting our flat on the market when mortgage rates were rocketing was always a risk but Ralph James promised they could sell it and they did! It wasn't quick but we trusted the process! Marie-Elise was amazing from start to finish! Keeping us in the loop weekly, the team making sure potential buyers coming through the door were aware of what they were viewing and what price bracket we were in as it's always tricky to keep a flat tidy with a toddler and keeping the communication slick between solicitors! Thank you to Marie-Elise and the team at Ralph James, couldn't recommend them enough!

        Amazing company and people. Made the experience not only stress free, but positive at every step. Genuinely don't think we'd have sold it without the personal touch that Maz and the team gave, getting to know us and the buyer. Very grateful for their help.
