1st Class service from start to finish

We recently purchased a property through Richard Kendall Estate Agents and received outstanding service throughout. In particular, Karen Marijewko was exceptionally professional, prompt, and consistently proactive in keeping us updated at every stage of the process. Her communication was clear, timely, and genuinely reassuring, making what can often be a stressful experience run smoothly.

I would highly recommend Richard Kendall Estate Agents, and even more so Karen, whose dedication and attention to detail were exemplary. A first-class service from start to finish.

Swift Dream Home Purchase in West Yorkshire

We purchased our dream home and we’re extremely impressed with the senior partner Sara Whalley at the first point of contact when she promptly processed our initial offer and in a very short time without any delay. Subsequently Karen Marijewko looked after us and she was thorough, professional and kept us up to date throughout and ensured a very smooth purchase process. We are now moving into the beautiful dream house in good time before Christmas and will always be grateful to you both and rest of the team at Richard Kendall

Karen Marijewko has been amazing

I've personally never sold a property before this one so I had no idea what to expect but Karen Marijewko provided such informative information and help throughout the process she made this so much easier. I haven't had to pester for constant updates as Karen had provided them. I want to thank Karen personally as she has been an absolute pleasure to speak with on the house sale and made my life so much easier with the sale and keeping me up to date with everything. I would definitely recommend Richard Kendall just for Karen.

Amanda at the Pontefract office

Amanda at the Pontefract office is amazing!
She is on top of everything, keeps in regular contact and makes you feel like your house sale is genuinely important to her.
She also keeps in contact with solicitors on both sides, chases anything that needs doing and makes sure that everything happens as it should.
If Amanda isn’t available Amber acts on her behalf so you are never left in the lurch.
First class service

Lucy and the Team were great.

Lucy and the Team were really helpful throughout the process of selling my house which was made more complicated with me living a long way from the address I was selling. Always on hand to speak to keeping me infomred throughout. Lucy certainly made the whole process a lot easier. Thank you for your hard work and help throughout.

We cannot speak highly enough about the service we have received from this company. All company’s are really rated mainly by the actions of their employees, and in this case that is highly applicable. We refer to Liz Cooke (aka Liz here!) who was unrelenting in her efforts to progress a sale of a property for our daughter. We are very grateful for her actions and the professional manner in delivering the desired result. Many thanks Liz!👍😀

We have used Richard Kendall for many years so when deciding to sell our loved property due to heath issues this was the company we straight away contacted initially David at the Wakefield Office and then we were luckily put with senior consultant Karen Marijewko. Karen was so thoughtful and kind she knew about our health problems and went out of her way to guide us through the process of selling and buying .She is a senior property consultant and really deserves that title . If we ever have to move again I would definitely ask for Karen and would advise family and friends to do the same.

Elizabeth Cooke gave us fabulous professional help with the sale of 4 properties - she is very approachable and efficient . In our most recent sale of a leasehold flat with more complex issues she was particularly helpful. She kept in touch with all parties - both ourselves and the buyer and solicitors from both sides. She has great communication skills and we felt informed throughout the sale. We felt that we were in safe hands with an experienced and responsive professional who could give us advice if needed.
Overall we appreciated Liz Cookes expertise and the lovely way she dealt with us. Thank you so much Liz you are a star!

Professional and supportive purchase with Karen Marijewko at Richard Kendall. This is the first time we have dealt with Richard Kendall, Karen was extremely supportive of guiding us through our purchase with weekly progress calls and helping us communicate with the seller. Compared with our agent and solicitor she was head and shoulders above everyone we have dealt with in our moving experience.

GREAT, ATTENTIVE SERVICE

Karen did a great job with this one for us. Sales take forever to go through these days, so you need someone like Karen on your side constantly checking on the buyer and both sets of solicitors, to make sure no-one is slacking.
Thanks again Karen, and everyone at Kendalls Wakefield.
