TESTIMONIALS

“Please pass on our thanks to all of your staff that dealt with the sale of our home in Havelock Street. We were worried about selling our property as we hadn’t been in property market for years and could scarcely believe we achieved the full asking price within 4 weeks. Keep up the good work.”

Mr. & Mrs. J. Fleming (Stirling)

“Well done WESTGATE for selling our property. Great price and delighted with the service from your West End office.”

Mrs. M. Reid (Hyndland)

“Congratulations on selling my mother’s house in Newlands last month. The fact that you did all the viewings was of great comfort to her - especially since she has never sold a property before and was obviously worried and nervous about the whole process.”

Mrs. L. Cooper (London)

“Thanks for selling our property at Glasgow Harbour. We were a bit concerned about how long it would take to find someone looking for a penthouse flat yet you managed to sell the property within 10 days of us contacting you. Great service and delighted with the selling price.”

Mr. H. McDonald & Miss. T. Duff

What a pleasure to deal with a company that offers such a personal service.

We’ve dealt with other agencies in the past and WESTGATE is the first that we feel comfortable recommending.”

Dr. T. Jones (Dennistoun)

“Absolutely thrilled with the way your staff handled selling our property in Knightswood. The regular feedback and amount of viewers was really tremendous and to achieve over the Full Home Report valuation was a real bonus. To deal with professionals can never be underestimated and we wish you continued success for the future.”

Mrs. T. Gordon (Clarkston)
