Outstanding service from Rachel!
Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with—clear, responsive, and incredibly efficient. Her communication was excellent throughout, and she managed everything in a fast yet thorough way, keeping everything well-organised and on track. Thanks to her, we were ready to complete well ahead of schedule.
She answered all our questions with clarity and guided us step by step through the auction process, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Rachel went above and beyond, and we truly felt in safe hands from start to finish.
We’ll definitely be recommending her and will be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much, Rachel!
