My Watermans experience
I was selling my house on the Isle of Arran.
I initially approached both Watermans and a local estate agent.
The local agent did not visit the property and produced a "desktop valuation".
Watetermans visited the property and their valuation was very close to the figure produced by the subsequent Home Report.
The process of selling a house in Scotland is somewhat different to the process in England. Darren guided me through the process of bringing the property to market and his prompt response to emails and calls was reassuring. Watermans managed the photography, including a drone shoot, virtual tour creation, copywriting and design to produce an impressive brochure.
The legal firm I used 26 years earlier had not retained paperwork from the original purchase but Rachel Stuart was forced to generate the required documentation from alternative sources.
Watermans handled the entire transaction professionally and I was kept informed throughout.

Estate Agency Services
This review relates to the ESTATE AGENCY services provided by Watermans only. It does not relate to any legal/conveyancing activities.
Watermans provided a high quality and cost effective estate agency service for the sale of my late parents' house. Communication was excellent.
I was impressed with the quality of the marketing materials and the online presence created. Viewings were conducted expeditiously and feedback from viewers was provided in a very timely manner. We encountered a problem with our initial offer and Watermans arranged for the house to be re-marketed very efficiently.
This review relates to estate agency services only.

Darren and Alister Lee
Darren and Alister have been great professional property partners, who have guided me through the sale of over 50% of my portfolio.
Recently, they turned around a property that was not getting much interest. They prepared a complete marketing strategy, property sold in 2/3 weeks achieving over the Home Report value.
Thank you.

Watermans Exceptional Service - Estate Agency
From the moment we engaged Darren and Ali, it was clear that our satisfaction was their top priority. Their professionalism and expertise in their market place was truly impressive and they took time to ensure we understood the added value in using their services. What stood out the most was the proactive nature of the service, at anytime going the extra mile. I would wholeheartedly recommend them having utilised their services on two separate occasions.

Great Customer Service
Darren and his team (Caron Henderson) were a great help in purchasing our recent property. Their customer service was great - we had lots of questions which they were happy to answer. Communication was good - they were both easily reachable via phone, and were always prompt to respond to emails. We were satisfied to work with Watermans for the purchase of one property, so much so, that we decided to retain their services for a second property we are currently in the process to buy.

Purchase of St Brides, Lochranza
Darren Lee handled our purchase of the property St Brides. He is extremely hard working, he promptly replied to all our emails, he was friendly, understanding and efficient. The only boxes I haven't ticked below is because they weren't applicable to our situation.
Overall, we were very impressed with our dealing with Darren ( and Alistair at the beginning, when he introduced us to the house )
