I can not recommend Richard James, Highworth highly enough. Grant is the pinnacle of estate agents and his team, particularly Avril, whom I had most of my dealings with apart from Grant, are second to none as well. I agreed the selling price the property was to be initially marketed at with Grant, and was happy with the commission percentage too, favourably comparable to some other high end estate agents. Grant had promised that Richard James had a wide network with which to bring in potential buyers and indeed he brought in viewings of people located all over the country, including London. Within the first few weeks there were multiple viewings a week for what is a high value ‘niche’ property. This was also during a time of year that one would think the market would slow down, after the summer, beginning the run up to Christmas. Very soon an offer came in that was very close to the asking price, which I accepted. Then things slowed down, largely due to complications that were outside of Grant’s control. However with tenacity, tact and diplomacy Grant and his team worked tirelessly to get the sale over the line. It can’t have been the easiest sale they’ve ever had, but Grant was there at every step to push the sale forwards, never losing enthusiasm despite testing difficulties. He’s born for this job. Sensible, calm, personable, driven. I wish Grant and his team every success in the future.
