Preston Baker were true to their word. Using their VIP Launch service not only did we sell our house on launch day but they achieved �5000 over the asking price. All the staff are extremely friendly,caring & professional in what they do. They made us feel like valued customers & that they put as much effort &care into our move as they would their own. I would recommend them 100% to anybody who values customer care and service


Comments on Agent Fees

Whilst not the cheapest out there we certainly felt they were fair and worth it for the service given.
