      Paul Barker Estate Agents are amazing. From Paul's first visit, he put us at ease. He knew the St Albans market very well and priced the property accordingly, showing us stats from other similar properties that had been sold. Paul and his team were professional and kept us up to date throughout what at times was a very tricky and frustrating process. Paul's positivity and calm manner always made me feel confident everything that could be done was being done. Thank you Paul and the team, the service we received was second to none. I would recommend Paul Barker Estate Agents.

      Paul Barker, a St Albans lad born and bred, a family man and genuinely nice fella. It's his name on the estate agent sign with a "sold" label on it. In fact the "sold" label went on the sign outside the house I sold five days after it went on the market! Paul and his friendly team were faultlessly professional throughout the whole sale and always went more than the extra mile. They were supportive and understanding and a real pleasure to work with. These qualities were highly appreciated and put a real shine on the excellent service already provided. Paul's experience, in-depth knowledge and understanding of the local, regional and national property markets was clear from our first meeting. I would not hesitate to use Paul Barker Estate Agents again and am delighted to give them the highest recommendation possible.

      Paul provides a great end-to-end service. The brochure he produced supported by the 360 virtual tour really showed the full potential of our home. We had a number of offers within 7 days of putting it on the market. We weren't sure whether to accept, but Paul was able to provide us with online data that showed the level of interest in our property had peaked, which made us feel confident the best offer was on the table. His support didn't stop there, we had a tricky chain that needed a lot of hands-on management. Paul kept us up to date on how things were progressing. Thanks to Paul, we are now living in our dream home.
