Our experience buying a house through MW&G was excellent. They showed us around numerous properties. They were always quick to respond and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks to Jane, Isabel and Kim for all the hard work. Highly recommended.

We have recently used the Fowey office and completed on our home in the same town. The experience from start to finish has been nothing short of professional, responsive and courteous. In fact I would say they went over and above. The best Estate Agent experience ever, in specific Jen and Isabel were just on point for the whole Journey. A massive thanks

Report
When I was looking for an estate agent to sell my first home, May Whetter & Grose stood out to me by a mile as a respected, professional local company. I had previously noticed their online presence and the quality of the properties on their portfolio, so I was keen to include my property amongst these. Tony Grose was friendly and helpful when valuing my house and I was very happy when it sold for full asking price within 5 days of being listed.
The whole process was smooth, with staff on hand whenever I needed assistance or advice with anything. Special thanks goes to Sarah also, who was very helpful on completion day. Great local company who I would happily recommend.
