I am 59 years old and this was my 8th and final house move. Indubitably, both as a homeowner and executor, I have had my fair share of dealings with estate agents with a modus operandi involving merciless and inconsiderate ways, only wishing to acquire their commission, to those who were more refined and conveyed high standards of professionalism. Well, I can say categorically, without an ounce of doubt in my mind, that Brad Hansford, Director of Meyers Estate Agents in Shaftesbury, is the best estate agent I have come across in over 40 years of buying and selling houses.  He is a very dynamic person and completed the purchase of the 4-bedroom bungalow in Shaftesbury with such gusto that it actually became pleasurable at a time of considerable stress. Brad is punctilious, pays attention to critical details, and he deals with exigent duties in a timely manner. When I needed confirmation or queries answered, he was the first to state the reality of the matters at hand, and solved issues quickly. Invariably, the quality of communication was excellent.  Right from the onset, from advising about the bungalow to be purchased and the area, he was to the point and spoke objectively. It was crystal clear that he had considerable knowledge, expertise, and experience. There was no hard-selling, he just listened, allayed concerns, and gave reassurance without conflict of interest. Above all, I can say that Brad sold the bungalow in approximately 9 days, and he was the driving force creating momentum for the sale. What's incredulous is that he was the estate agent for the couple from whom I was buying the bungalow.  So, bottom line, if you want an estate agent with Integrity, the skills to sell your house quickly, and a moral compass that allows you to respect a person for who they are, then Brad Hansford is your man.
