Fantastic, well informed about Bath property prices. Excellent service all the way through. If every estate agent was like you the industry would be held in high regard. Many thanks.
Fully endorse and recommend Madison Oakley's comprehensive and professional services. We especially valued their marketing strategy. which was commendably adhered to. Well Done!!
Sarah and Carey at Madison Oakley have been fantastic! Things didn't always go to plan with our sale but sarah went above and beyond, contacting solicitors and keeping us up to date when problems arose. We were given advice not only on our sale, but also on our purchase and this was invaluable. We can't thank them enough and will definately be recommending them to everyone we know. I m not sure we would be at this point without their help. Thanks Carey and Sarah.
Madison Oakley were absolutely brilliant. They sold my house for me. The pictures of my house appeared on the internet on Sunday and on Monday my house was sold for the price I wanted for it. I dealt with Sarah all the way and she was just brilliant. When we had some problems with the buyers because they were not quick enough, Sarah would phone them. She also phoned the solicitors to chase them and she kept going until she got everything moving. Great service. Absolutely outstanding.
Madison Oakley are polite and helpful and they arranged a cash purchase for us within 24 hours.
We have recently concluded the purchase of a Flat within Oldfield Park, Madison Oakley acted for the Vendors. Overall, a very professional Estate Agency who was actively involved in the management & co-ordination of the sale throughout the process & very much helped in a positive way with the post survey negotiations. Very pleased to recommend them.
Carey at Madison Oakley has helped us through the process of buying our first home and I cannot recommend him enough. He has gone above and beyond what you would expect from an estate agent and his calm, patient personality helped us through the stress of homebuying.
It gives me great pleasure to recommend Madison Oakley who have given me outstanding service both in selling and buying a property. Brilliant estate agent.
I would recommend because: -They are very good at marketing your property. They keep you informed every step of the way. They are efficient in what they do and yet friendly enough to make you feel ‘at home’.
Madison Oakley, in particular Willum, were extremely helpful and responsive throughout the whole buying process. I would highly recommend Madison Oakley to all who are looking to buy or sell.
I have been a Bath resident for over 35 years and, in that time I have lived in four different houses and used many city centre estate agents. I have just completed a successful house sale and move with Madison Oakley. The service I have received from the team there has been nothing short of exceptional. In particular, Carey Gilliland, who has acted for me, has been quite simply AMAZING! Always punctual, good humoured, courteous and professional. It has been a pleasure to deal with him and I am so glad that I chose Madison Oakley rather than a city centre agent. His marketing skills, particularly on the internet, are second to none. Not only has he facilitated my house sale through difficult circumstances and numerous “let downs” but he has also helped me enormously in negotiating the purchase of another property – right up to completion, on moving day and beyond. To say that he has gone the “extra mile” is an understatement. I think he has run at least 3 Olympic marathons in order to assist me. Also, having offices based in Moorland Rd is a HUGE advantage. It has saved me money and aggravation in trying to park in the centre of Bath, where the majority of agents are based. The service which Madison Oakley offer is absolutely FIRST CLASS and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is buying, selling or renting a property.
We were so pleased to purchase our house through Will and Carey. They offer an excellent personal service and always went the extra mile.
We just bought our home with Madison & Oakley and I would strongly recommend them for anybody selling or buying a house. Carey was very helpful, proactive and always available for any questions or concerns. They also have an excellent knowledge of the market.
Really pleased with the service from Madison Oakley Estate Agents. Looked after our sale really well. Worked hard with getting the sale through. Thank you.
I used Madison Oakley when renting out my house and Willum was great; very knowledgeable, professional but friendly as well. He communicated very well with us throughout the whole process, marketed the property well and got us a good tenant and contract. I would definitely use them again.
The Thomas family would like to thank all the guys at Madison Oakley especially Carey,for the incredible hard work they did in helping us to sell our unique property in Paulton.They by far,totally leave other estate agents in their wake. Our sale was handled by other estate agents prior to our decision to ask Carey to handle the sale and it was like a breath of fresh air! Carey approached the task with such dedication and hard work. He even looked up information on the local area and researched archived background information on our old renovated property. Just so he could give a greater feel to the property description. During the sale of the property nothing was too much work and handling the sale negotiation from offer to exchange was both very professional and dilligent,with a real personal touch given to both ourselves and the purchasers. We have now moved away from the area but would highly recommend Madison Oakley to anybody looking to sell their property.
Very good service from Madison Oakley. Patient as we looked for property and always helpful when we finally bought one. Will use again!
Will and Carey at Madison Oakley did a great job, always polite and professional we were really pleased we chose them to sell our house and would be happy to recommend them. Only had to do one day of viewings before getting a buyer. Excellent service! Photos lovely and done very quickly.
Madison Oakley were prompt and clear sighted in assessing the property and developing a plan to market and sell it. Always available and regrouped when first buyer withdrew. Professional and pleasant to deal with.
Just a few words following our engaging Madison Oakley to be sole agent for the sale of our Oldfield Park home. Carey impressed from the off. Unlike other agents he arrived to the valuation appointment armed with all the facts about the state of the market in our area and beyond. He talked through marketing strategies and his philosophy on how to sell a house which we found honest and open. We engaged Madison Oakley and were not disappointed. The marketing worked a treat and our home sold very quickly. Carey and the staff at Madison Oakley were very helpful and supportive throughout the sale. Always on hand via phone, text, twitter (a very informative Bath Property blog to boot) or email - keeping the wheels of the move rolling to a speedy conclusion and us informed at every step. I would recommend Madison Oakley without reservation.
The service I had at Madison Oakley estate agents was friendly but professional and knowledgeable. Carey and his team helped make what could have been a stressful proces so much smoother and easier. I would be very happy to recommend them.
Willum was very helpful and always made sure we had the information we required or had requested. Staff in office in Bath simularly helpful with our enquiries.
Absolutely top notch service from Madison Oakley on the sale of my house. I canât speak highly enough of them. Professional, friendly and genuinely caring, Carey and Will are also intelligent and well informed about the property market. Definitely the thinking personâs estate agent! The valuation was spot on, photos, floor plans and property details quite superb. Marketing was spread across all media. All ready, we hit the ground running. One single block of viewings â Madison Oakley sold my house in a day! Complex negotiations on sale price were handled by Carey with integrity and sensitivity to all parties involved. Right from the start the Madison Oakley team really do go the extra mile. I wouldnât hesitate to recommend them. I will definitely use them again.
We thought the service we received from Madison Oakley and in particular Carey was first class. We would recommend them and would definitely contact then when we come to sell our house. We bought our new house through Madison Oakley and felt that they were miles better than any other estate agent we used when viewing properties. Well done and thank you for everything you did !
We would like to add our thanks to Madison Oakley and particularly Carey who looked after us from start to finish. Our house buying experience was far too enjoyable and any hitches were soon ironed out with the help of Carey who's attention to detail and customer service was first class. We were delighted that the house we recently bought was on with Madison Oakley as they are professional, efficient and we would recommend and also use if and when we come to sell again !
