Report
We used Tim Russ to sell my late mother's house in Thame. The service we received was distinctly 'average'. The branch manager was rude and offensive. It felt like they were more interested in representing our buyer than us as a customer. On the day of completion, we found out the buyer hadn't been informed of a price discount we had offered some weeks beforehand and so, although we were quids in, this left a disappointing taste to the sale. Personally I would not recommend these guys, but I cannot vouch for any of the others in Thame.

We purchased our new home through Tim Russ & Company in Thame and were very happy with their support throughout the process. Fiona, in particular, was an absolute star.

All the staff at Tim Russ were helpful and friendly throughout the selling process. Daniel was always thoroughly professional, from conducting numerous viewings in the pouring rain to ensuring that our sale progressed smoothly, always offering support and guidance. I would thoroughly recommend Tim Russ of Thame.

Recently sold our house through Tim Russ in Thame. From start to finish the service we received from Tim Russ was top drawer. Initially through Fee and afterwards Dan Crawley they did everything possible to ensure our sale went smoothly and were amazing when it came to pushing through our sale and purchase of our new 'dream' house. Cannot recommend the team in Thame enough based on our experience. Feature review

I found the staff at Tim Russ in Thame to be extremely helpful at all stages of the selling process that at times became highly stressful. My thanks in particular to Dan Crawley whose knowledge, patience and professionalism was outstanding, working with all parties to secure a speedy and successful sale.

We've been very impressed with Dan and his team, having worked with them on both the purchase of a new flat and the sale of a family house. In both cases they have been highly professional, friendly, helpful and well-informed. Their proposed guide price for the house sale was realistically set and backed up with a sensible rationale based on good local market knowledge. As a result they were able to swiftly match our property with an ideal purchaser and got a firm offer in a matter of weeks, after a busy viewing schedule.
The flat purchase has gone very well too and again they've been very helpful. There were some slightly tricky details which they helped us overcome and we progressed to a timely completion to the satisfaction of ourselves and the vendor. They are highly recommended.
