Voices of experience
Working with Nick was one of the best property decisions we have made. His insight into the market is exceptional, and his calm, confident negotiation style achieved results we could never have managed ourselves. Nick not only saved us over 15% but he also saved us stress, time, and uncertainty.
Excellent service. Sterling’s extensive contact base meant we were able to be first time viewers of ‘off market’ homes we would never of known about left to our own devices. The team managed all the appointments, agent follow ups and negotiations leaving us free to focus on choosing the best home without any pressure. We were so impressed we asked Sterling to manage the sale of our old house (they got full asking price in a difficult Brexit market) and manage the total renovation of the new property. Thoroughly recommended.
The team made our search for a London home adventurous and enjoyable ….. who knew!!!!! This after we’d been looking for over 3 years on our own. A huge amount of work and research (we saw over 20 apartments in 2 search days) on the teams part – very professional, interesting and more importantly, they negotiated and closed the deal on our behalf whilst we were out of the country and below the asking and our targeted price. We will use them again without hesitation and have strongly recommended them to friends and colleagues.
