I am happy to share my experience of Gordon and Rumsby Estate Agents. 1. A relative recommended that we use Gordon Rumsby because 'Julie Gordon understands the local market' and we are glad we took the advice. 2. Julie gave us a valuation far higher than we expected and significantly greater than the two other agents we consulted. 3. In truth, we didn't achieve the full asking price, but the final figure was significantly higher than we had dared to hope for. 4. Three good reasons to use GREA, but the best reason to use them is the patience and professionalism the team demonstrated to conclude the sale. To say the road between 'offer' and 'exchange' was bumpy and full of challenges would be an understatement - I cannot say how many times we thought we had lost the sale - but Julie's team calmly solved every problem and we got there in the end! I am delighted to recommend Gordon and Rumsby in every confidence that they will continue to deliver the excellent service we experienced.
My fourth transaction with Gordon & Rumsby proved once again their team’s dedication to their task. Throughout the process of the sale of my property I was in regular contact with several staff members who never failed to return calls and provide all the reassurances I needed. I can highly recommend the company, especially if you have a property in West Dorset, an area about which the team are thoroughly knowledgeable.
The whole team at Gordon and Rumsby, but in particular Debbie and Julie have been absolutely brilliant with selling my late mother’s house. They kept me updated on a weekly basis. They offered a lot of advice and practical help in getting house clearance, cleaner etc. They even offered emotional support in what was a painful and difficult task. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thank you to you all at Gordon and Rumsby for working so hard to make our house move possible. It was not a straightforward sale, by any means, and you went above and beyond to make sure it was as smooth as possible, despite the many bumps in the road! This is the second house we have sold with you and I honestly wouldn’t use anyone else. Viewings were always organised as conveniently as possible and feedback provided quickly, any problems were discussed and solutions found, and someone was always available on the phone if needed. When we lost our original buyer at the 11th hour, you worked round the clock to get the sale back on track and, as a result, we are now in our new house and loving every minute of it! Thank you again!
The endeavour Gordon & Rumsby’s all female team showed in selling our property was excellent and very professional. In the Covid19 year it took to sell our home they were always tenacious, pleasant and very concerned for our well being in these trying times. With chains breaking and buyers changing their minds the ladies of G and R always remained positive that a sale would be achieved. The promotional material and online information was accurate and well presented. Once we had a prospective purchaser the support, advice and dialogue between us, the purchaser and solicitors was second to none. We would have no hesitation in recommending and endorsing the service Gordon and Rumsby provide to any prospective property seller or purchaser.
We would like to say thank you so much to Julie and all the team for helping us to achieve our recent house purchase in Colyford. We really appreciated their attentive, professional and friendly approach, prompt responces and excellent communication. We would not hesitate to recommend Gordon and Rumsby.
When we decided to sell our home we contacted three estate agents. We chose Gordon & Rumsby because after meeting both Julie and Susan we felt they we offering something a little different from the others. Our decision was proved correct when our house sold very quickly soon after being listed. Julie and Susan are extremely professional at what they do. They have a real understanding of the property market and one thing they excel at is communication. Selling your home is a stressful time for most people, but when you are kept up to date every step of the way, it really does make a huge difference. Debbie 'The Chaser' is someone who keeps the whole process moving along and is a rare company asset. Keeping a watchful eye at every stage, with a nudge here and a nudge there when needed is very reassuring.
I like to thank you for me with excellent service and your Friendliness with my purchase of 5 King’s Court Apartment . I give you 10 out 10
