Professional team and excellent client care
With such a major life decision, we wanted an agent we could trust to work with us and achieve the right result. From the outset the service we received Ross McKnight and the team at Templeton Robinson in Lisburn was professional and reassuring at every step of the process. We felt Ross understood the task ahead and worked with us as a trusted advisor throughout the sale, his advice and approach always being considered and sensible, and we built a great working relationship with him, to the extent that we felt we were all working towards the same goal as a team, rather than just client and agent. As is usual in the house buying and selling process, it was not always straightforward, however Ross was always available to offer advice and help with the bumps in the road. We would highly recommend Templeton Robinson, and Ross McKnight in particular, to anyone waning to sell their property, looking for a professional team with the right approach, market advice and genuine care for their clients. Thank you to Ross and all of the team for getting us across the line!
