She was extremely knowledgable, prompt, reliable and gave me excellent advice in difficult circumstances. She was also always friendly and professional. Thank you for the excellent work.

We used Barr-Ellison, and specifically Cailan Thomas, for our house sale in Cambridge. We are in Australia, and so good communication has been very important for us. We’ve had online, e-mail, and also one face to face meeting. We had one offer withdrawn and eventually a second offer came through. It’s been smooth, professional, personable and friendly. 👍
