We love Clare Evans Estate Agents!! They got us the house we really wanted and moved Heaven and Earth to make it happen. What helped us more than anything was being able to phone up and actually speak to someone who knows your situation and knows who to speak to to get answers - not something you get from the big chain estate agents. The personal touch is what makes all the difference. Everyone at Clare Evans has been fantastic and we are so happy in our new home, they made it happen and we will be forever grateful for their care, knowledge, expertise, friendliness, advice and calmness when

Great local estate agency who work really hard to achieve a sale at a good price for both buyer and seller.
Refreshing to deal with instead of some of the Dinosaurs around the area who claim to be good, easy to get a sale when you are constantly underpricing.
Claire stood out for us and really appreciated the property and its benefits, others had decided their sale price before even stepping through the door!
Claire and Megan are very professional and keep you fully informed at all times. We will definitely use them again.
