Having initially marketed my property through another agent, Nick quickly found a buyer and worked hard to close the deal quickly and efficiently. A great result.

I was buying a property and need to complete soon as possible. Lewis was very professional, great at communicating with both sides. Even went out his way chasing up unanswered enquiries from management agents. I completed on my dream home within 4 weeks from day offer was accepted. Thanks to Lewis and KeyDrummond!

Nick at Key Drummond did a superb job of selling our house. Achieved a great price whilst always being honest and respectful. I would certainly recommend them as the best agent I have dealt with in BH13.

Oh my gosh. Nick, Lewis, Annabel and the team are without doubt the best estate agents I have ever worked with. They have sold a property for me that is a little way from their normal stomping ground, but did so more quickly and professionally than any local agent. They have kept me constantly in the loop and found a buyer almost immediately. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I certainly will use them again. Thanks Key Drummond!

Outstanding service from Danny - always responsive, always tried to help us ( even when is wasn't strictly his role in the process) and kept us up to date on what was happening. This was at a time when he was exceptionally busy - yet I never had to wait long at all to get hold of him. He was always really polite and friendly, it was clear he really understood what it was like for us as clients and went over and above to reassure us in what was a stressful period. Would not hesitate to recommend him and Key Drummond.
