I am very impressed with the service compass provided. Noel showed me around the house and he was very patient! He also accommodated my request to return to the property at least twice more to measure! He was always on time and practiced good covid 19 safety at all times. Finally, he even replied to my emails on his day off! I would very much recommend Compass to my friends and family. Thank you very much and happy Easter!

2020 was a troubled year for many where Covid changed our world and the way we went about our business undertaking our daily lives. Selling our house raised many concerns for us mainly about our health and safety. After meeting a couple of local estate agents we decided to choose Compass as they came across as the most professional and Covid aware. Needless to say Andrew Diemer was true to his word and his professionalism from day one to completion of the sale was exemplary.

We received regular viewing updates and upon agreeing on a sale, Andrew managed the negotiations and then provided us with weekly updates of the progress of the sale right up to completion. We have no problem in recommending Andrew Diemer and his team to sell your house.

Andrew & Robert went above and beyond in helping us move house. They were both very professional and efficient in all aspects. They kept me up to-date on the progress of our property chain. I would recommend Compass to anyone wishing to buy/sell property. Thank you Compass!

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Compass, in particular from Mark. As a first time buyer, I had many questions which Mark responded quickly and accurately to. Mark continued to keep me updated with my purchase and was a great support. From start to finish I was very impressed and highly recommend. Thank you again.

Great experience dealing with Compass for both the sale and purchase. Robert, Andrew, Mark and Linda kept me fully informed at all stages and made the whole process stress free, everything went like clockwork and I was grateful for all their assistance. They were extremely professional in their approach and made sure it was a great customer experience! Well done Compass, highly recommended. Thanks!

Compass have helped me sell four rental properties, a house (divided into rental flat) and a development site. They worked hard to introduce appropriate buyers and secured good prices in a generally difficult market. They are professional, keen and keep in touch throughout the sales process. I am happy to recommend them.

Mr. Andrew at Compass is a STAR. From point A to point B he was extremely compassionate and had empathy for our need to move fairly quickly and made the impossible possible. Overall the entire team there are very professional and responsive and would highly recommend for all your real estate needs. Hopefully will be using them again to let a property soon. Thanks to all and Merry Xmas and a prosperous New Year.
