Thank you Gary and the team for a smooth and successful process, from start to finish. My experience with Avard has been that they operate in a supportive and trustworthy way, which goes a long way during what can be quite a stressful experience for some.Posted on Charlotte GravestockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 'Our first impression of Gary was that he was honest and reliable and that he would do all he could to enable our purchase to go through, even though it took some time for us to find a proceedable buyer for the property we were selling in order to downsize. Gary kept in close touch with us and with our selling agent throughout, so that in the end it all worked out as we hoped. Gary always responded to our queries promptly and was most helpful over every detail, including picking up the keys on completion day. Thank you very much Gary, we love our new home, which is just right for us. It was a pleasure dealing with you.'Posted on Kendal PetersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just found a lovely place to rent with Avard Lettings. Gary Cloherty showed me the flat and was friendly from the start. He listened to me and really did everything to help me through the letting process to get the home that was perfect for me. Once secured, in he responded immediately to my questions about the property and landlord. Gary gave the impression that he genuinely cared about getting the right tenant for the landlord's rental. He was flexible with the application process, allowing me to complete documentation when I could, advising me if I asked. I've rented several properties over the years and Avard have been the most straightforward, stress free letting agents I've rented with. Gary has been honest, kind and a fantastic representative of Avard. So thank you!Posted on jeremy marksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just purchased a flat in Brighton through Avard and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Kept us informed throughout and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would highly recommend them without hesitation. Thanks Gavin, Gary and all the team !Posted on Jiva MashederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avards were helpful, friendly and efficient and I was glad to make my first purchase through them. Would recommend.Posted on Dennis WellingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really good and cooperative letting agency. Most of the issues I had in my flat were dealt with immediately. The team is easy to talk to about any topic and they always try to find the best solution for everyone.If you walk in to their office there is always someone there to talk to. They handle more serious topics in a highly professional way, which I appreciate a lot. I especially liked the way they show empathy with any issue a tentant comes up with. It does not feel like they turn any requests down without reason, like other estate agents would do, as they've become a corporate business without soul, treating their tenants like anything else but humans. Really happy that Avards is not dealing this way with their tentans. I would definitely rent with them again in future.Posted on And She Became A ButterflyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I viewed a property with Jack and was blown away by his lovely energy. He was genuine and transparent, which is much needed in this industry. If Avard is marketing a property that you're interested in, don't hesitate.Posted on Kylie BeaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jack and Gary were both really helpful with the purchase of our new family home, they went above and beyond to make sure it went as smoothly as possible.
