Lisa Frost was nothing short of remarkable - the sale was long and complicated but Lisa always maintained a calm and reassuring attitude throughout, and I have nothing but praise for her and the sometimes difficult job that she does. The other members of the Walker Singleton team were equally polite, efficient and professional and always willing to go the extra mile. First class service from a first class agency!

We recently moved home and received excellent customer service from Walker singleton from start to finish. Gill was fantastic throughout and helped us a great deal with the process. We were kept updated and things were chased for us to ensure the process was kept smooth. Would definitely recommend. Thanks all and especially to Gill for her fantastic service.
