The whole team from Grant estate agents and NI mortgages were so helpful with our sale and purchase. So friendly, professional and down to earth and gave realistic advice and time frames for the move. If only every estate agents had a Kerrie to keep everyone in check! Thank you all!

I couldnt have asked for better service. From the initial valuation all the way through to the completion of the sale, the team at Grants provided regular updates along with knowledgable input, advice and assistance. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting the personalised service that, I believe, only an independent estate agent can provide.

All Estate Agents are not equal! I could not recommend Grants more highly. Knowledge of the housing market is first-class. Grants actively and consistently promoted our property and recommend properties to view. They sought and provided feedback from viewers and sent regular updates. Grants did not simply advertise on sales websites and forget it; they were an active partner and got the job done.

Start to finish John and the team were amazing. Ive now purchased and sold a House through Grants and I have nothing but good things to say about the service they provide. Johns knowledge of the market and the professional service of photos/ advertising were the best Ive seen when looking at houses. The service from Kerrie of keeping me up to date and letting me know everything that was happening through all the stages of the sale were brilliant, couldnt recommend Grants enough!

Couldn't recommend Grants enough! Kerrie was a dream to work with and made our New home purchase absolutely seamless. Kerrie went above and beyond and for us at every part of the sale. Would only ever use Grant's in the future x

I cannot recommend Grants Estate Agents enough! We used them for the sale of our property. I knew as soon as they came out to value the property that they were the ones to use. Explained everything to me in simple detail and so friendly and basically just dead on! Kerrie is an absolute credit to the place. She kept me updated every step of the way, I did not need to chase anything up myself. Everytime I spoke to her on the phone I was at ease, she was just so helpful and friendly.
In the beginning once the house was valued our mortgage application fell through with our bank. Grants suggested I come in under no pressure and use their own independent mortgage broker who was also brilliant, no hidden fees nothing. Got our new mortgage and sold our house. 5 stars!

We have bought our first house this year and went to Mark for help with understanding the whole process (we knew very little.) He was absolutely fantastic, explained all the options, answered all our questions and most importantly helped us find the right mortgage and the right insurance for us. You could probably find all this info yourself online, but we found Mark to be very helpful, reassuring and having someone on your side going through this nerve-wrecking time is worth a lot in itself!
It's about all the insights you would not necessarily get otherwise and he has helped speeding things up and has always just been a phone call away, he was very quick to respond and we also liked the file upload system Grant Estate Agents are using to upload all important documents. We would definitely recommend speaking to Mark for anyone looking to buy their first home and we will be reaching out again when it comes to remortgaging.

Recently my wife and I decided to down size from our home of 27years. When the decision was made to sell we explored many different agents and read many different reviews. The one agent who stood out from the rest was John Grant. We never at any point regret that decision and we are now well settled in our new for ever home. Thank you all at Grants estate agents for your help and support and advise. Terry and Nancy
