"We were incredibly impressed with the service from Anker and Partners when selling our house through them. From start to finish, they were very efficient and helpful. They were excellent at making sure things were moving forward. Anker were always willing to talk on the phone and were prompt in replying to emails. Marie and Kim worked hard to make sure the sale went through; without them, I'm not sure it would have happened! I can honestly say that before selling our house I was sceptical about estate agents just wanting the money, but Anker have changed my mind on this. They did a lot to ensure we sold our house in a timely manner. The staff supported us so well throughout the process. Thank you Anker!"
