Hexham branch of Rook
Hexham branch of Rook, Matthews Sayer were very good during the recent sale of an apartment.
The advice, experience, patience and support from all members of staff was greatly appreciated and we wouldn’t hesitate to approach them again in the future.
Thank you all very much!

A first class service from meeting the team on day one, very professional and yet friendly kind and so helpful. Honest and realistic evaluation suggested, and with excellent communication throughout, the team made the whole process easy and understandable and as stress free as possible. The Gosforth branch of Rook Matthews Sayer can be highly recommended.

Lorraine was Very helpful and gave a clear explanation of sales situation.
Good job!
Hayden and Sian, who we mostly dealt with were always most helpful, chasing things for us and responding in a timely fashion, whilst at the same time being very friendly and professional. There was a delay in handing over the keys but Sian and Jade were equally helpful then, thank you for the chocolates! Whilst not offering the same service we had from the independent agent who sold our house, for a high street agent they seem to do a decent job. Thank you
The friendliness of the staff made the experience a lot less stressful
The friendliness of the staff made the over all experience less stressful.
All queries were answered in a timely manner and I would not hesitate to recommend this branch (Fenham) to family and friends.
Dylan is a credit to the company and they are really lucky to have such a knowledgeable member of staff working for them. Matthew will learn so much working along side Dylan.
Thank you to all the team, Steven, Stacey, Dylan and Matthew.
Thank you so much to the Hexham branch!
Leah was our main contact at the Hexham branch throughout the purchase of our new home, and she was absolutely fantastic. We also dealt with James and other members of the team, and everyone we interacted with was reliable, friendly, and proactive. They kept us updated at every stage, were always easy to reach, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. By a mile, they’re the best estate agents we’ve ever dealt with, and we’re genuinely grateful for all their help. Highly recommended.
RMS Hexham - A great experience
RMS Hexham were great to deal with. Leah was our main point of contact and she was fabulous to deal with. I'd recommend this estate agents to anyone.

I can’t recommend my financial advisor highly enough. After being let down by my first lender, Alistair stepped in and truly pulled out all the stops to get things back on track. His professionalism, clear communication, and dedication made a stressful situation so much easier. Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish.

Michael Storey – Mortgage Broker at Rook Matthews Sayer – Ryton.
I would defiantly recommend using Michael for all your mortgage needs. 👍
Michael has been amazing, the amount of information on line can be overwhelming but Michael was happy to answer any questions I had he was very knowledgably and patient (trust me I had lots of questions) He found me a great mortgage and has taken me through the process so far with ease, so hopefully I will be on the way to buying my forever home soon thanks to Michael and the team at RMS Ryton.

RMS Ponteland
RMS - Ponteland
What can I say; this estate agent has done what MULTIPLE couldn’t do! Whenever I’ve told people my story recently, they cannot believe the shocking service I’ve had from other estate agents, so I’m just so glad I finally found RMS & listed my house with them!
The entire team in the Ponteland office have been unreal; they’ve been so friendly, so polite, so professional and I just cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work and dedication they’ve ploughed into selling my house.
On a more personal note, Sian has been exceptional. I would 100% understand if she was pulling her hair out in clumps regarding my house sale, as it’s been so long-winded, through nobody’s fault bar the bottom of the chain’s solicitor firm, however, Sian has consistently been on the ball, she’s always available to speak with when needed and she really has gone above and beyond to help me!
I can’t put into words how grateful I am for the work of RMS Ponteland; I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs a local estate agent, as they put their local competition to shame!
Thanks again for everything! 🩷

Ashington Branch
Alistair, Wendy and Angela at the Ashington branch have been amazing with us. We are buying our first home and although it hasnt been an easy process (nothing with RMS) Alistair and Wendy in particular have kept in touch every step of the way. We couldn't be happier with everything. Alistair has made the whole process of getting our first mortgage simple and easy making sure we understood everything and kept us right. Could not recommend the branch enough.

Selling a property
All the staff were very helpful and guided me through the process of selling my property in a very professional manner . Not having moved for nearly 40 years this was very important to me. They provided several viewings and within a week I had several offers. I was guided through the whole process of selection and felt confident in the advice they gave me .
Before selling I had been looking for a suitable property to downsize into so had been popping into the branch every so often . I never felt under pressure to look at properties which weren’t right for me , this led me to choosing them to sell my property as they knew the market around my area. I would certainly recommend them

Great customer experience
From start to finish great customer service. We had 2 other estate agents out before making a decision on which agent suited our needs and the professionalism from David was far superior than the other agents which made our decision easy as he knew his stuff and presented us with a sales pack which no other agent did.
