Louise Murphy Senior Property Consultant

Louise's property career started over 20 years ago when she worked for a large corporate company in Haywards Heath. It was a great experience and gave Louise the confidence to move up to London and live the dream! "I worked for a range of independent and corporate companies and sold property in Tenerife for a few years until I got bored of the sun," says Louise.

After starting a family, Louise and her partner decided to move to Barnham for a better quality of life. Having dealt with Sara at Sims Williams when she was looking for a property, Louise knew this was the company she wanted to work for! "Their professionalism and friendliness impressed me as a customer and it's great to now be part of the team," says Louise.

Seller Testimonial

Brilliant service unlike Purple Bricks

From start to finish we had a professional and caring service. Nothing was too much trouble. We transferred to Sims Williams because we received no advice from Purple Bricks who were happy to take our money and charge separately for a viewing that never took place. We got this money back, but it should never have been taken! Thanks again Sims Williams.

Buyer Testimonial

above and beyond what we'd expected from an agent

We cannot fault the service and friendly attitude from the staff, especially Lin. From start to finish, our queries were always promptly answered and our chain was chased efficiently. We were selling our house via a different agent and buying through Sims Williams but wish we had sold through them as the service they provided was above and beyond what we'd expected from an agent, especially in comparison to our selling agent (Cubitt and West). Thank you for everything, we are now very happy in our forever home!
