Therapist, pacifist, optimist.........that's Mike Marsh!

Let's be completely real about the buying and selling process in the UK: it's certainly a world apart from the images in glossy brochures and magazines portraying the smiling couple holding aloft a shiny set of keys. In reality, obtaining those keys can involve a very convoluted emotional process with many weeks passing by wondering if you are ever going to get that house that you've fallen in love with. This process requires perseverance, optimism, nerves of steel and a huge bag of luck. It also requires an estate agent who is aware of this reality, and is there to guide you through from start to 'keys in hand'. During our seven months of 'house buyers endurance testing' Mike Marsh had been there to absorb our blows of frustration, to turn a negative into a positive and to make us laugh at times when it was the last thing on our minds! This is the essential quality of a good estate agent, not just the ability to convince you that the broom cupboard is a 3rd bedroom. And seven months down the line? ....................We're sat writing this in that house we fell in love with seven months ago.......thanks to Mike.
