“

Not Pushy, Helpful Evie, with Ed Thomas, made the sale smooth and easy. She was open and communicative, and we felt like we knew exactly what was happening each step of the way. Evie was also patient and compassionate, understanding that buying a house can be exciting, but stressful. She realised that whilst this is everyday work for her, purchasing property is not something that we do all the time.
