I can’t recommend Stacey Gill highly enough. Her communication and professionalism have been superb, especially while I’ve been working and travelling abroad. Despite being in two countries, Stacey kept me continuously informed and made sure I always felt involved.
Her comforting, patient and reassuring nature made a difficult time in the market much easier. If you’re navigating this challenging market, you’ll be in very capable hands with Stacey. Highly recommended!

Joe was professional, kind and empathic in relation to the sale of our home. His communication with us was excellent and kept in touch at all times. He was boundaried and honest throughout and we cannot recommend him enough. Heads above local estate agents.

We bought through Beresfords and can't fault the service, particularly from Stacey. She kept us updated at every stage, often before we'd even had to ask, and chased the various parties involved whenever things stalled. That persistence got this over the line quickly and efficiently. Communication was regular, clear and consistent throughout - exactly what you want when a purchase is dragging on a little. Thank you Stacey!

We had a really positive experience with this branch, Stacey’s help was exceptional. She greeted me with enthusiasm in the branch and was very keen to understand what we looking for.
She continued to check in by phone to help us find somewhere, we met with lots of estate agents and her enthusiasm was really impressive and stood out by a long way! Would definitely recommend this branch.

We recently bought our new home via Joe at Beresfords - he consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, local market expertise, and dedication.
Buying a property can be stressful but Joe made the process entirely seamless. He was proactive in securing viewings, negotiating the property price, supporting the process when some difficulties arose, and in providing regular, transparent updates through his interpersonal communication. His deep knowledge of the area and strategic advice directly contributed to a successful outcome.
Joe embodies the highest standards of the industry.

Joe is the best estate agent I have met in 30 years having become very weary in this time.
He is professional, polite, personable, proactive, has great local knowledge and interpersonal communication and is a great negotiator working both a seller and a buyer. I cannot recommend Joe enough and wish him a very successful career ahead.

We recently purchased a house in Stondon Massey with the help from Beresfords. We mainly dealt with Joe Pammen , he really is a genuine lovely guy, was so accommodating on extra viewings my and my extended family wanted on the property - never too much trouble, sometimes at quite short notice. Always kept us up dated on the process and very helpful with the many questions about the property we had. Thanks Joe, was a pleasure dealing with you. Dave & Tina Miles

Recently purchased a house with Beresfords, we dealt mainly with Joe Pammen who was always co-operative, professional and friendly. Joe would always up date us with developments on the sale and was always on hand for last minute requests for us to do more viewings on the house we were buying, never rushing us and answering many questions about the property. Was great dealing with you Joe, thank you.

Great experience with Chris Osmond, high quality service, very knowledgeable and not too pushy with his approach. We viewed similar properties via other agents, but came away from our 1st viewing knowing we wanting to proceed with Beresfords.

Very impressed with the service from Beresfords in Ingatestone - Lauren Best worked tirelessly to ensure a fast completion on our property, engaging with our solicitors often for regular updates. Paul and Joe took over towards the end of the process and helped keep up the pace. Thank you so much!

Paul and the team at Beresford have been superb in their support for the sale of my mum’s house in Ingatestone. Professional, friendly, thorough and excellent communications.

Beresfords have been very helpful, efficient and professional from start to finish in my experience of selling my parents property.
Thank you to Lauren Best, Paul Woods and the team who helped with the smooth sale.
Ken Ward
★★★★★
I’ve been watching strictly, so in line with their scoring, it’s a 10 from Ken for Lauren and her colleagues for selling my late mother’s property. Lauren was mainly responsible for keeping me up-to date with what was happening and chasing solicitors to keep things moving. She did a first class job throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending Beresford's to anyone looking for a local estate agent.
