Very thorough, supportive and helpful - would recommend

Lee at Davis Tate was recommended to me by 2 separate friends who had recently moved. He was very supportive and on the ball chasing both up and down the chain, checking the viability of our buyer and ensuring communication was always kept open. He was also very good at explaining what needed to be done at various stages in the process and at all times chased and kept us informed. Without him the process would have been much slower He was far more professional and knowledgeable than our sellers agent and prevented a few potential derailings that could have been caused by the other agents ineptitude. For a smooth and informed sale, I would recommend using Lee - he was at all times helpful and professional and helped to make a stressful time (moving in general) more manageable.

Lee succeeded where others had failed. He knows the market and gets to know his clients and helps not only with sale but is always on lookout for a suitable purchase property as well. At the end ensures whole chain is working to a successful conclusion. A pleasure to deal with.

Excellent service, Lee was very flexible and proactive. He sold our house in the first weekend and managed to achieve over asking price for us. We would highly recommend him and Davis Tate.

We would not hesitate to recommend Lee Russell at Davis Tate. We always had prompt replies to emails and voicemail. We had many occasions to seek advice from him and always found him really helpful with a sense that the options he discussed with us with were fair for all parties and made good business sense. Our house sale and purchase were not plain sailing and when the deal nearly fell through Lee went the extra mile to get things moving again. Lee's experience of the business and his numerous contacts meant that he was able to keep us up to date as the process reached completion. Once things were underway he emailed all parties weekly so that everyone was kept up to speed with what was happening and he constantly kept on top of all the details, which was very reassuring. We always had a sense that he was honest and was being straight with us, and he gave us the space and all the relevant information to enable us to make our own decisions. We really felt like Lee was talking to us rather than at us (which was how we occasionally felt with some other agents). Thanks again for all your help Lee, if we ever move in the future we'll be knocking on your door again!

Lee Russell has been our estate agent for almost a year. He actually found three buyers for our house as part of a saga that has more twists and turns and "will they / won't theys" than the Greek debt crisis! In addition we tried to buy three different houses during the process of selling our house as our purchases kept falling through. Throughout this process Lee was absolutely fantastic. He is friendly, respectful and professional and extremely responsive – replying to e-mails promptly, even those sent late into the evening. When our original purchase was falling through Lee got to work trying to rescue the deal, even communicating with our seller and other people in the chain when the selling agents proved disinterested in helping. Lee is like a dog with a bone when there is a problem and goes to great lengths to look for a solution. He managed to resurrect the deal several times at one particular point with some very impressive negotiating up and down the chain. At all times Lee kept us updated as to progress. Lee was very respectful of the fact that it was our home that we were selling and all that that meant for us as a family. Because Lee works on his own you can be assured that he deals with matter personally which we greatly valued. We have come across a few different estate agents in our time but if all estate agents were like Lee the process of buying and selling houses would be much easier. With Lee there is a refreshing lack of snake oil salesmanship. If you are looking to sell a property in Woodley we do not understand why you would even think about using someone else! We wish Lee and his business well in the future.

We have recently sold our house through Lee Russell, Davis Tate. The service Lee provided went beyond what we expected and he ensured that we were looked after every step of the way. Lee quickly got our house sold and the process was very smooth. Lee did a lot of running around for us, often picking up forms and dropping them to our solicitor to save us trips. The solicitor he recommended was also excellent. All in all, the experience of moving house was less stressful thanks to Lee's attention to detail. Thank you so much.

Why use anyone else?

Simply the best

This is the second time Lee Russel has sorted the mess other agents left behind, unfortunately I had forgotten the first time and went elsewhere. I started by using another large local company who offered the world, I was passed to pretty useless back office staff after the salesman had me hooked, it was left to Lee to try and fix things.. Eventually, I let Davis Tate sort my sale out. EVERY time I called Lee, he either answered immediately or called back (yes, you may think a basic thing but other agents don't do it). Many times I would email late at night after work, I received emails past 11pm. I'm not saying Lee can sort every problem out, but he made every effort to do whatever he could and kept us informed at all stages of the sale. What Lee also did was chase the WHOLE chain and make sure things kept moving, not just my sale and purchase the WHOLE chain. The estate agent I used to buy my new house in Devon said she wished she could work with Lee as "He is the best agent I have dealt with" (quote). I'm not saying Lee Russel is Superman, but I never saw Lee Russel and Superman in the same room at the same time.

Review of Lee Russell at Davis Tate by Zara Wright

Lee was absolutely fantastic right from day one. He was the most professional of all the estate agents we met with. Within 48 hours he put our property online and sold it. He was very proactive throughout the entire process and also helped us in the purchase of our new home. He definitely went the extra mile. Communication was first rate too.

Great service, always quick to respond

Lee at Davis Tate has been amazing during our tricky sales/purchase! We looked at a few houses and missed out but lee kept us in mind and found us a great house in woodley. He chased our rather slow solicitors throughout the process speeding things up. We will be recommending Lee to friends and family that wish to buy or sell. Thank you Matt & Melissa Wilkins
