Incompetent and expensive

Me and my husband have chosen Warner Goodman based on online reviews, which were looking great. After dealing with multiple big companies in the past, we wanted a quick and efficient service. Things started well, but as the process was dragging on for 4 months, nobody had a sense of urgency. We were passed around multiple assistants, some more lacking in competence than the others. One of them blatantly lied to me over the phone repeatedly, and must have counted on me not following up on his word. Altogether we had to push like mad to get things done, and felt really stressed for most of the process.

Warner Goodman dealt with the sale of our old flat and purchase of a new home in a very professional and, considering the circumstances, timely manner.

To go from initial conversations to standing in our new home in just 3 months, a mere 3 days before Christmas Eve, was no small achievement. We'll forever be grateful for how hard everyone worked to get us sorted during such a busy period.

I can only thank them, from the bottom of my heart, for their diligence, professionalism, and above all patience when dealing with a couple of at-times stressed and frustrated young folks.

Look no further.
