Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.
Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.
We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.
Ask the firm for their side of the story.

It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.
A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Customer Review
~1950s detached bungalow requiring updating, located in Prestwick.
"Hoppers is a local estate agents who provided a friendly and efficient service. The WhatsApp group chat was an efficient method of sharing information and progress, with more formal details communicated via email. The 1% commission fee and low marketing fee were very competitive (also an option for a flat fee) compared to other local estate agents. Prior to engaging Hoppers, Graham Hopper visited in person to discuss our requirements and explain the fees and contract from their service. "

Bungalow in Prestwick
"I was delighted with the experience of dealing with Hoppers, they took all the stress and worry of dealing with selling my elderly parents home, away from me. I live far away and they dealt with every single necessity for me without me having to travel unnecessarily. I’d been dreading selling the house due to condition of it but with one phone call all my fears were allayed. They found a buyer very quickly then implemented all the steps needed to get the house empty and ready for sale. Communication was excellent, everything done as promised, very friendly and the sale price agreed was more than acceptable. Grahame and Rachael were my two main points of contact and were knowledgeable and helpful. A painless process which was most welcome after very challenging few years for my family."

Customer Review
end terrace cottage in town centre of Prestwick
"All the team at hoppers were extremely helpful and kind. We were selling our late mother's property so they were especially sensitive to our family loss, and supported us through the selling process. They conducted most of the viewings for us, as that was going to be the hardest part for us. The photographs were taken by Rachael, who did a fantastic job and showed the property at its best. All the team in the office were great, answering calls and queries from us, and Grahame came out to do an initial valuation for us and explained the whole process clearly, including costs and commission.
I would not hesitate to recommend Hoppers to anyone selling their property."
