It would be invidious to single out individuals here, because they all work as a team, the best I have seen (and I have seen a few). The main thing for me is this: they were there when you needed them. If they said they would phone back, in, say, half an hour, they did phone back without fail and punctually so. They have what so many agents seem to lack: a sense of urgency, but also a sense of humour and somehow a soothing, calming effect on overstimulated customers overwhelmed by the complexities and uncertainties of buying (or selling) a home. I could wax lyrical about them for a while longer, but won't: let me just say this: consummate professionals, honest, knowledgeable, caring (oh dear, I wax again) . Thanks Parkers - Peter
I sent out a blanket email to a few agents asking for properties in the Reading area, and Parkers were very quick to get back to me, and gave me a lot of detailed information quickly. After one phone call I had five viewings booked all on one day, some of which I hadn't thought of looking at and were suggested by the agent herself. Once we'd found a potential house we made a couple of requests regarding what furniture was provided and the monthly rental price, all of which were met. My only criticism would be that during the viewings we were told that in some cases we would be meeting other people there who also wanted to see the property. I wasn't terribly keen on this, as it can be quite awkward, especially if both groups want to make an offer! I would urge Parkers to ask prospective tenants in advance if they're OK with this, but it is a minor quibble. Overall I'd definitely recommend using Parkers in the future.
We recently sold our property through Parkers Estate agents and could not be happier. we found them professional and courteous throughout the whole transaction and most of all Honest. From the initial valuation we felt comftorble and were not put under any pressure to sign a contract on the spot unlike some other agents. Then when we did decide to go onto the market Parkers were able to secure viewings on the property before detail sheets had been produced which was impressive. Once abuyer was found on the property special praise must go to Damien who helped us through the process and assisted in finding suitable quotes for a few bits of work that came up
Always prepared to go that little further customer service from mark and his team is 2nd to none The way you have dealt with my difficult tenant was great thank you thank you
I found Amy Maskell very helpful, efficient and transparent. She did not hide facts or gloss over warts. A refreshing change. Above all she was prompt in returning my phone calls and tried hard to secure my business.
I have used Parkers to rent out a property in Reading. From the first visit to the property and throughout the rental period they have proven to be efficient, accurate and a pleasure to deal with. From finding tenants to organising gas checks and any maintence requirements they have been excelent. A special mention must go to Sophie Green who has handled any day to day requirements to a very high standard. I would not consider another rental agent .
Parkers in Reading have managed our rental property for five years now have been excellent throughout that time. They are very fast at bringing urgent matters to our attention, manage the property well, send us reports and statements regularly. They are friendly and professional and we are happy to recommend them as property agents.
Couldn't fault the service from Parkers at all. A knowledgable, friendly, open and honest team who are clearly equally focussed as on customer service as they are on completing the sale. Damien in particular has been a great help to expediting the transaction and keeping the flow of information between buyer/seller/solicitors/financiers moving and ensuring every query is dealt with professionally and urgently. The team clearly have a lot of experience in the local area and this makes a difference. I came to Parkers via a friends recommendation - and I'd be happy to recommend them too.
Me and my partner bought our first property through Parkers but also had been renting with them for two years before that so we have a very good view on the whole team in Reading! From day one they made the whole buying ordeal as easy and as smooth as possible. Very impressed with everything and we have no complaints whatsoever about the service we received. Would definitely return to Parkers when it's time to move again..! Special praise for Mark Brooker and Damien Glowacki who were brilliant in helping us purchase our first home.
The whole team were very efficiant. Especially Amy and Damien, who kept me updated through out the whole of my purchase. Only called me with relevant properties that matched my criteria, which helped me to find my perfect home!!
