I am a Reading Landlord, and I have to say that it's a pleasure dealing with Parkers. They have always found me excellent tenants, are always pleasant to speak to and always keep me informed. I will continue to use them in the future.
If you are looking to buy or sell a property, I highly recommend Parkers above everyone else. From start to finish Parkers have been amazing. Selling my mother's property was a very difficult decision and I can honestly say if it hadn't been for Ben and the team I don't know where I would be today. From day one, Ben was excellent, patient, reassuring, supportive, knowledgeable, understanding and, most importantly, not pushy! (unlike many of the numerous Estate Agents I had encountered during this very long journey). Furthermore, the valuation provided was spot on and the rates were incredibly competitive. Once an offer had been made, which was almost immediately, I dealt with Damien, who was equally amazing and all of the above applies to him too, keeping me informed every step of the way with further reassurances and great communication. In fact, everyone I have spoken to at the office has been great, highlighting the quality business that they are. If I ever need to buy, sell or rent a property again I won't consider calling anyone else. If you are looking at reviews to help make the right choice, I would say choose Parkers without doubt.
Damien did an amazing job. Along with his associates they worked hard to help us find our new home. He was available often after regular business hours to answer any questions and alleviate our concerns. At all times we felt our best interests were a top priority. We will use them in the future for all our realty needs and highly recommend them to others.
Parkers in Market Place Reading have managed our property portfolio from 2008 onwards. During this time we have found them to be exceptionally professional in all areas of their business, from the receptionists to the directors, whilst also being very competitive with their fees. We have experienced indifferent service from other agents, and have always found Parkers to be nothing but helpful and informative, hence why they now manage all of our properties.
I dealt with Craig, Damien, Jay and Ben at Parkers during the sale of my property and couldn't have asked for a better service from start to finish. I was kept up to date from day 1 and found the normally painstaking process of selling a property courteous, efficient and reliable. Tom - Reading
Excellent service. Whilst helping my son buy his first property I was kept informed as to the progress of the purchase regularly which is so important. Even when there was nothing to report Damien still rang to keep me up to date - this was a nice touch as long silences play havoc with the old nerves. Owing to circumstances beyond Damien's control the process took a lot longer than the norm which took us near to the expiry of the mortgage offer. Without Damien pushing the solicitors on both sides, the vendor and the council (who were demanding certain work be done), I don't think we would have completed in time. We intend to sell our own house in a couple of years' time and will certainly be using Damien and his team.
We have used Parkers for 5 years as purchasers, landlords and then as vendors. We have had an excellent service from them and would highly recommend them as estate agents. They have always stayed in very regular contact with us and made renting out our property as stress free as possible and then sold our house after a few days on the market. They kept us regularly informed during the sale and secured us reliable buyers, timing it perfectly with the end of our tenancy. They even recommended a great "man with a van" to help us move. Property is a stressful business but they made it as smooth as possible. Thanks so much to Sophie, Mark and Damien!
Years back Parkers had a terrible reputation in Reading. Having spoken to three prospective estate agents re the sale of my property and not being happy with any of them, I took my daughters advice and tried Parkers, who she had used successfully 2 years ago. Ben Mitchell seemed to be honest friendly and approachable. I explained we wanted honesty, transparency, and regular updates good or bad. Plus I liked their shorter tie in clause and reasonable selling percentage. A viewing day was arranged and there were even please remove your shoes notes up as the carpets were new. The house received offers very quickly, and Damien kept us constantly informed of developments and suggestions to help move things on more quickly. He was always able to email me back on queries or would return calls as soon as possible. I felt the whole process was handled professionally, honestly and patiently.

I have been dealing with Parkers - Market Place in Reading for quite a few years in the purchasing and letting of BTL's. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Parkers has always shown a lot of dedication. They are efficient, knowledgeable, perseverant, very much client oriented and will try to accommodate their client's requirements to the best of their ability. That positive attitude is reflected in its manager and the whole team in place. Having made my marketing previously, I must stress Parkers is competitive and helped me save time and money.
