Samantha Beeson is an asset to Balgores! She was incredibly proactive and kept the chain and clients updated each step of the way, nothing was too much. Progression is such an important part of the house buying/ selling process and Sam is brilliant at this!

A big shoutout to Allanah and Ellie. Both have been fantastic through the process. Very professional, friendly and approachable. Put me at ease throughout. And on top of that found me a buyer within a week of putting property on market. Not all heros wear capes. Thank you ladies. I would definitely recommend you!

We’ve recently viewed a property with Piers and we’ve seen a few in our time! Estate agents can sometimes come across as pushy or like they’re fibbing about things. Piers has been the best estate agent I’ve ever had show me around a property. He was just himself, very personable, honest when he needed to check something to confirm the answer to questions and respected the quiet time to view the house and take it all in. Just a really lovely young man who is an asset to the agency, and I understand he hasn’t been there for very long either, We’re not sure if we’ll have an offer accepted on the property we viewed but if we were looking again, I would be more inclined to view with Balgores simply because they have Piers.

First of all Ben was very welcoming. Attended our calls and spoke with us and kept in touch throughout. Answered all of our questions and we had a lot of them but he patiently listened to our queries and answered all of them. Also, the house was maintained well for viewing. The entire team at Balgores was very thorough with their online forms as well, didnt leave anything for us to pinpoint or doubt. Kudos! Keep it up!

Buying a house can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life, but Samantha and Ellie at Balgores made the whole process so much easier and stress-free.
After my original purchase unexpectedly fell through, I found another property through Balgores, and from start to finish they were absolutely fantastic. Samantha and Ellie were always proactive, responsive and genuinely invested in keeping everything moving. They regularly kept me updated, chased solicitors and other parties when needed, and were always on hand to answer my questions and reassure me during what was a very stressful few weeks.
Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their communication was excellent throughout. Thanks to all their hard work and dedication, I finally completed on my new home (in just one month!), and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did to help make it happen.
If you’re buying or selling a property, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Balgores, especially Samantha and Ellie. They are a real credit to the company. The best Estate Agency in the Chelmsford area by miles! Thank you all so much for your support.

The best customer service because of Jody Manno Balgores letting tick all the boxes for an excellent service. looking for a flat to rent and dealing with other letting agents that never called back or email back was frustrating.Then I found a flat and it was listed by Balgores letting and I spoke with Jody Manno and from there she handled everything booked the viewing and emailed everything to get us the flat. Jody took my stress away. I highly recommend Jody Manno if you want a agent that will not ignore you.
