Impressive!

We bought our house via RMS at Bedlington and we were very impressed. Staff were friendly, professional, and dealt with any of our queries efficiently. Our moving process did drag out due to solicitor issues but we got there in the end! Big shout out to Claire!

Good communication is vital…

I have recently delt with the Fenham branch of RMS for both letting and selling purposes. Although the whole process has been slow and frustrating at times there has been excellent communication and a very professional approach to getting satisfactory outcomes.

Excellent team /…

From start to finish this company / team have been amazing.
Steven , Stacey, Matthew and Dylan have all been an excellent help to me and my partner, guiding us through the sale of our late Aunty and Uncles property . They were very helpful, patient and understanding, exceeding any expectations we had. They made a potentially difficult process so easy.
Thank you all so much.

Great service


Micheal Storey at Rook Mathew Sayers has been outstanding to work with. He previously helped me secure a Buy-to-Let mortgage, and I have now returned to him for another BTL purchase because of the excellent service I experienced.
He is professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond. Micheal Storey explains every step clearly, makes the process smooth, and consistently finds the most suitable options based on my circumstances. His support has given me confidence throughout both applications, and everything has been handled efficiently from start to finish.
I highly recommend Micheal Storey for anyone looking for a reliable and experienced mortgage advisor. I will continue to work with him for future investment properties.

Excellent service from the Fenham Branch

We received excellent service from the Fenham branch of Rook Matthews Sayer during our recent sale. Initially we met Stephen who explained the process and answered all of the questions we raised. We found all the team in the branch approachable and helpful. However, I would particularly like to thank Matthew for his support, hard work and tenacity to ensure our sale progressed. I'm very grateful for the updates he provided to ensure we were kept informed throughout the process.

Very happy customer

I am extremely happy with the selling of my house with this company. From the initial valuation with Alayna the process was handled in a very professional yet friendly manner. Michelle explained everything and was always happy to answer my queries and keep me informed whilst Dawn was on the ball with the finalising and completion of the sale. Would definitely recommend this estate agents.

Fantastic team!

Could not recommend Claire and the team at Bedlington highly enough. From the initial sign up all the way to completion, nothing was too much trouble. Having not sold a property before, I had lots of questions and worries, all of which were dealt with expertly and promptly, and Claire kept me on the right track with exactly when to start the search for my new property. The staff are always available to answer any queries, chase any problems and always with a positive and friendly manner. Claire and her team are a credit to Rook Matthew Sayer - thank you so much.

Helpful and friendly …

RMS helped me sell my Grandmother’s flat in Blyth after she passed away. I live over 300 miles away but the team facilitated the sale for me and kept me updated on all stages of the sale. Nothing was too much trouble, especially as this was a remote sale and I would definitely recommend this estate agent.
