I cant stress enough how exceptional the service from Sawyers is. We switched to them after having our house for sale with A.N.Other for over 12months, and were very unhappy with. First impressions when I met Nigel were that they were very profesional and new exactly what they were talking about. We started getting viewings in the first couple of weeks, and sold the house after 3 months at full asking price. NEED I SAY MORE.Nigel, Sharon, and the team. WE THANK YOU ALL!

We have just bought and sold a house in Whitley Bay with Sawyers and Sons. They were outstanding from start to finish and we would recommend them to everyone. Their knowledge of Whitley Bay and the housing market was impressive, they priced realistically, meaning that we got plenty of footfall, and we sold our house in two days for well over the asking price. The process of buying and selling was made easy by their dedicated team, no question was stupid and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Sawyers and Son are a family business so you really get to know the team and they all know you.

It is this that has made them exceptional as you get a personalised service where the customer is at the heart of everything they do. It is rare and refreshing to find an estate agent who is professional, honest, trustworthy and reliable but that's exactly what you get with Sawyers and Son, In the future I wouldn't even think of using anyone else. Many thanks you all truly have been outstanding from start to finish Emily, Lee and family

I used sawyers and sons to sell my flat due to them being a local family business who knew the area well, from the start Nigel came to measure up and take pictures and instantly knew I was in the right hands. The whole selling process would of been so much more stressful without the constant communication from the office staff, with out a doubt would recommend using sawyers and sons to friends, family and even strangers. Big thanks for the smooth sale of my beloved flat

Can't thank everyone enough at JG Sawyers for the patience and professionalism they showed throughout our property sale. Our transaction wasn't the most straightforward and at all times, everyone was very understanding and happy to help. Highly recommend using JG Sawyers, best estate agent in the North East!
