I wanted to give a big shout out to the whole team at Humberstones, although we were not the paying customers i.e. selling via them , (we were supporting my cousin to purchase a property through them)
It was an unusual set of circumstances around my cousin who had challenging needs and i can't stress enough how impressed we were with every member of the team we connected with. It is obvious the company prides itself on a wonderful shared value base and they could not have done more in terms of excellent communication, patience but most of all kindness and genuine sincerity. The sale without question

Sold my fathers bungalow at a difficult personal time. They were always helpful and never gave up when I felt I would. Communication was always great from start to finish, lots of viewings arranged until that buyer was found. I would defiantly recommend to sell your home you wont be dissapointed.

A great estate agent offering professional and friendly service . My Dad was down sizing from our family home after over 50 yrs .
Humberstones dealt with the sale and onward purchase. The covid restrictions came into effect which delayed things but as soon as restriction allowed viewings commenced with updates and regular feedback . Special thanks to Ian , Lauren and Sue . They say moving home is one of the most stressful times of your life, this is so true but Humberstones made it more bearable . Thanks again all enjoy the Brownies

The team at Humberstone's Quinton branch were great to work with, in particular Ian Kendrick, James and Nathan Walton. Ian was very professional and honest with us about our home value, we had previously been over valued by another agent and not had a great experience, Ian and the team were able to pick the sales process up and had me viewings within a couple of days. Nathan in particular was fantastic , he went the extra mile to ensure I was updated and potential buyers were kept interested, he is also very personable and dedicated to customer success. I was very happy with the end result and

Having recently sold a property through Humberstones Estate Agents I would highly recommend them as a professional caring company. I was kept fully informed throughout the sales process and they were always available for advice and queries.
