Torquay property experts since 2010

At Absolute Sales & Lettings we do modern estate agency a bit differently. We're local and independent to our core, and always focus on delivering a totally bespoke approach to selling and letting properties, combining our local expertise and a powerful network with unique property marketing campaigns. Founding Director Simon Fisher first opened our doors in 2010, and are now proud to not only have 3 well-established offices across Torbay, but to also have been presented with multiple coveted awards, including 'GOLD South West Regional Estate Agency' at the prestigious Negotiator Awards. We're also incredibly proud and active supporters of our local charity, Rowcroft Hospice.

When choosing Absolute, you'll meet a devoted, experienced and well-connected team of property professionals who will work alongside you to make your home or investment property stand out from the crowd, ultimately achieving you the best price in the right timescale. Our innovative ethos has always put us at the forefront of contemporary estate agency, from the use of the latest property technology, to the modern designs of our offices and in-house marketing. Above all else, our primary goal is to provide you with an outstanding level of attentiveness, care and expertise.

Our Torquay Sales branch is headed up by Director Darren Hole, who has been working in Torbay estate agency since 1997. Darren is assisted by our highly accomplished Torquay team, including Senior Property Consultants Tina Liddiard and Frank Earnshaw, who have been helping Torquay residents with their properties from our sleek Wellswood office since 2016. Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will ever have to make and choosing who to trust with this is key to a successful sale. Our vendors love our professional photography, bespoke brochures, 3D virtual tours and extensive social media marketing that we are able to offer, and buyers find them invaluable when selecting which properties to view.

We're also proud to have a highly-established lettings team, which is headed up by our Lettings Director Chelsey Earnshaw who won the coveted 'Best Property Manager Gold Award' at the Sunday Times Letting Agency of the Year Awards. Chelsey is ably-assisted by our experienced Lettings Manager Natalie Cook. A unique part of our lettings service is that you'll be assigned a designated property manager who will look after you and all aspects of the lettings process, including ensuring your compliance. If you are looking for an agent to manage your property as if it was their own, we'd love to talk to you.
