Positive experience with John Shepherd

I’ve had a positive experience with John Shepherd’s team. They are very supportive, professional, and easy to communicate with.
Lara and Christina, who have both been helpful are responsive, approachable, and always willing to assist when needed.
Recently, I experienced an issue involving the building management company, and I needed support to resolve it. Lara acted very quickly—on the same day. Their prompt action made a stressful situation much easier to handle.

Alex from John Shepherd Birmingham has just met us for a viewing in one of their properties. He was punctual and charming. Extremely respectful not only to ourselves but to the existing tenant who had a small child. An extremely professional young man. Well done Alex. I would have given you more stars if they were there.

Kind Regards

Thank you to Maisy

Maisy Smith was really helpful when sorting the broken blinds in the property. These were been broken before I moved in and started the tenancy. After becoming my my property manager, Maisy has picked this up and got the blinds replaced quickly. Each step of the process was communicated clearly and I am really happy with the work.

We had a great experience with Alexander Shomari

We had a great experience with Alexander Shomari during our house viewings. He was very patient, easy to talk to, informative, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the whole process.

He has such a friendly manner and made us feel very comfortable from the beginning, both over the phone and in person. He was always happy to answer our questions and made everything feel stress-free and easy throughout the whole process.

Honestly, he is the best agent we have dealt with so far. He is a real asset to the company, and they should be very proud to have him as part of the team.

Thank you so much for all your help and kindness, Alex. It was lovely meeting you. From Michelle

Praise to Alex, Elisha and Claire

The experience with John Shepherd was standard it’s really what you expect it to be. The thing that did stand out for me was Alex genuinely who managed to help me through start to end and explained everything properly to me. He went out his own way to stay after his shift to show me a property because I wasn’t free no other day and this was so beneficial because I’m moving in a day or 2.

The referencing process was decent. Good Lord did get my checks wrong twice and ended up with me waiting for like 2-3 hours in cue just for them to realise there was a mistake on their side.

Elisha was amazing aswell. She was smooth with everything and managed to get everything to me as soon as possible. Only thing which could be better would’ve been a quicker communication but other than that she was perfect so thank you.

Claire herself was amazing from when she answered the phone. She was able to explain couple queries which I had. So thank you for that

Positive experience with John Shepher

Helpful, informative and professional. Gave the impression that they actually cared about their tenants. Particular thanks to Elisha Gordon ( Lettings) but also to Alisha Donaldson ( Maintenance Consultant) who has dealt with a number of issues in an exemplary fashion.

Wonderful Agents

John Shepherd Estate Agents, specifically the branch in Birmingham, have been wonderful to let through.

One of their maintenance consultants in particular, Christina Tzemanaki, is always pleasant and professional. Christina has helped me on a handful of occasions to sort a few repairs out and the process has always been quick and easy.

I will definitely be looking at sticking with John Shepherd in the future.
