I've rented for most of my adult life and I had moved 9 times in 10 years at one point so I've worked with a lot of estate agents. I've been particularly impressed with Parkers in Reading. They've been responsive to emails and quick to act when something needs to be addressed. I'd have no problem with recommending and working with them. Thank you!

My experience with Parkers has always been positive and involved polite staff. The last time I utilised their services in Reading - K.Nivas was the staff member involved and their replies were almost immediate - which helped facilitate a speedy and quality rental process.

Damien and the team at Parkers have done a superb job of selling our property in Reading. Nothing was too much trouble and they went way beyond what I would normally expect estate agents to do in keeping the process moving and dealing with queries and requests from the buyer. Prior to that, the lettings team looked after the property for several years in a thoroughy professional and helpful manner. Top marks all round!

Huge thank you to Damien and Harry! Having just exchanged on the purchase of our first home we could not be happier with the service we have had from them both. They have both been extremely professional but approachable and friendly throughout the process and have been so helpful answering any queries we have had and inviting us into the office to talk through the process. I couldnt recommend them more! Thank you!

Had an amazing experience with Parkers from start to finish, from the viewing to signing the letting agreement. They made the whole experience straight forward and have explained everything from start to finish. Ruby in particular has been exceptionally helpful, answering all my questions swiftly. Now we are just looking forward to moving in!

Been in the rental business for over 30 years with properties all over UK, and Parkers have been managing 3 of my Reading Flats for over a decade and have always been professional and responsivea big shout out to Sophie. Just as many landlords I decided early 2023 to sell up and was glad to see the sales team (Harry & Co.) were just as good at marketing and selling all 3 even in such challenging times.
Damien was also great and ensured any issues were dealt with quickly when it came to progressing the sale, also keeping me informed throughout. Bottom line, I have dealt with many agents across UK and rank Parkers Reading as one of the best all round.

Harry and Damien were very helpful. Jumped on any issues across the full chain. Fantastic communication, honest, factual, to the point, through out the process, particularly from Harry who went above and beyond, picked up phone most of the times and when they didnt , they got back within a couple of hours. Emails were responded to in timely manner too. Harry was our one point of contact at Parkers which was sooo helpful, unlike others in the chain. Would highly recommend Harry and his team at Parkers . Well done team

Deborah, Ruby, and Mark went above and beyond to make the recent tenant transition in my rental property seamless. Their communication was clear and consistent, they organized viewings quickly and efficiently, and they helped coordinate some minor repairs before the new tenants moved in. Their professionalism and attention to detail saved me a lot of time and stress.

Ruby McGarth, our move in manager, was very helpful in arranging our move in date, collection of keys, and everything we needed to move in our property. Parkers were supportive throughout the process, and always quick to respond to enquires. We'd recommend looking through this agent.

I have used Parkers over the last 10 years for lettings, purchasing and now selling. What a wonderful team of people. In particular Paula, has worked tirelessly these last few months to get my sale over the line. She has been tenacious, honest, reliable, excellent communicator and without doubt a kind a decent member of the Parkers team, who just kept on pushing the sale forward. Thank you to all the team at Parkers.

We had a fantastic experience with Parkers. The team was communicative right the way through the process, going from viewings (where they were happy to show us three nearby places at once) to the letting process and always kept us up to date when anything changed. Everything was quick and easy to do and we have so far had complete responsiveness for the maintenance issues we've had with the flat so far. I've already recommended them to people who I know are looking to move in the next few months.
