Astounded by the absolute hard graft and dedication this team offer at such a fantastic price! Extremely fast response time, almost every call answered in a couple of rings, emails answered in the day and on most occasions within the hour, advice and factual research given to support decisions - without even being asked or expected. A kind hearted, extremely professional team, that communicate very clearly with one another to make the dream happen for you. We SOLD AND BOUGHT with Cameron Stephen and CO and cant get over the service they gave us from the start to end.

What an amazing company! We genuinely feel lucky to have found Jayne who was an absolute superstar throughout our property search. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable and goes the extra mile. Her words of wisdom kept us sane when multiple offers were rejected and her friendly nature generally buoyed us throughout the process. A real asset to Cameron Stephen! We also cant speak highly enough of the post-offer process. Camerons diligence, insight and efficiency has been invaluable. He has kept us on track with simple reports that summarise complex points. Thank you to everyone at Cameron

I could not speak highly enough of my experience with Cameron Stephen, and recommend them to everyone. They were incredibly professional. Hazel spent a very (very) long time helping me bid for houses, she was always very thorough in her analysis, and helpful with her comments. When completing the purchase, Fiona was extremely diligent, ensuring that every aspect of the sale was sorted. She uncovered a few aspects that clearly had not been sorted by the previous buyers. I was very happy with how thorough the service was.
Additionally, they were fantastic value for money and their communication

I worked with Jayne on selling my last property, many years ago, with a very favourable outcome. When I decided to move recently, once again she did an excellent job. Jayne is exceptional at what she does - friendly and relaxed about the whole process (and I am easily stressed!) her hints and tips about staging my house for viewers and her attention to detail in each room, made for great photos on the schedule and the video was a terrific surprise, as I didn't look at any videos of the properties I viewed! Most of all her understanding that although my house was on show, it was not a show home

Just bought our first home with the help of Cameron Stephen & Co. I would like to highlight the excellent service we have received from Fiona Duff and Hazel Wilson. From day one we were always taken care of, kept in constant communication about all the steps happening. Also credit to the great reports we were sent with simplified language (rather than the legal terminology)! They were also very helpful when it comes to decision-making given their experience. Highly recommended!

We used Cameron Stephen & Co for our first house purchase and had a really smooth experience. From the outset we got really good advice about the properties we were considering making an offer on, and once we finally made an offer on a property which was accepted, Cameron was always on hand to assist. As an additional point, the quote we received before we even made an offer was exactly what we paid at the end so thanks very much for making everything predictable and reliable - great firm to deal with!
