It’s reasonable to think that a heavily pregnant woman, a house sale and some fairly challenging conditions might be a recipe for chaos and stress but add Patrick Gardner into the mix and you get a very different result. I’d worked with Patrick Gardner years before and they were excellent, but time had moved on when we instructed our estate agents and I honestly had no idea what to expect. Jamie, Selina and Paul all came across as helpful and friendly, but let’s be real, if you wanted my business, wouldn’t you?
The weeks and interactions that followed were nothing short of remarkable. Jamie took the reins and handled the negotiations, there were some frustrating stumbling blocks, requests from buyers I’d never had before, and difficulty in agreeing an exchange date. Not to mention an exchange on a Thursday followed by a request for us to move the following Friday, just two weeks off my due date, with a husband that works full time. Not exactly the easiest conditions.
Jamie handled everything with a positive attitude and his conversations with me were always upbeat and enjoyable but, most importantly, candid. I’ve sold houses before, but we had a lot going on, and I greatly valued his honest guidance throughout the entire process. Quick to respond, always available, especially during crunch time, and always a pleasure to interact with.
Jamie would likely say he was just doing his job, but my husband and I believe that he went above and beyond to get our sale over the line on a number of occasions and for that, we, and our very imminent addition, are hugely grateful! Thanks to Patrick Gardner, and Jamie specifically, an exchange happened in a tough market when there were genuinely days I thought it never would.
I won’t be questioning how authentic the helpful and friendly approach of the team at Patrick Gardner are again. They have a culture that other estate agents lack and I think anyone would be a fool not to instruct them with something as important as a house sale.
