Professional, responsive and trustworthy.

After the death of my dad, Sue was asked to deal with his Estate, which also meant guiding myself and my sister through the process until completion. At every stage she was very helpful and clear about what we had to do and this was very much appreciated at such a difficult time and despite not living in the area.

Sue was knowledgable, supportive and patient; we couldn’t have done it without her.

House Sale and Purchase - Bronte is the best

We presented Bronte with an incredibly challenging scenario and she went above and beyond to get it over the line for us. I'd recommend her services happily to anyone. Not only did she get everything sorted for us, she managed to keep me feeling calm and reassured throughout. Quick responses, always available and above all a friendly and lovely person to deal with.

If you are looking for a relaxed, yet highly professional and efficient service then Neil White, Tara and the team at Rawlins Davy Reeves should be your first point of contact. I had never used them before, but would certainly do so again. Minimum fuss, great communication, and an approach that keeps everything simple and straightforward to completion!

Excellent service

Jan has been superb. Put onto me by another lawyer Mr Stanley, at the firm as a recommendation, it’s proven to be another solid gold performance. She has been excellent. Calm efficient and super reliable. This firm only employs quality from my experience.

Had the pleasure of Neil White acting as my solicitor for a property purchase. As a first time buyer, Neil clearly and patiently explained everything to me and made the process as pain free as possible. Look forward to using this companies services in future.

We have been using Daniel Stanton for a few years and on our last transaction he proved to us again why we keep on using him, he had our best interests covered all the time which is not easy seeing that we live in Australia.

Patricia Smith and her assistant Caroline recently acted on our behalf in the sale of a property. Despite a very difficult buyer, Patricia was attentive and patient and the communication throughout was faultless. I would have no hesitation in recommending Patricia, her team and the firm.
