“I recently had the pleasure of dealing with First Step Estate Agents whilst purchasing my first shared ownership home. From the very first point of enquiry their helpfulness and professionalism was faultless. It was quite a daunting time for me as a single parent and I honestly could not have hoped for the process to have gone any smoother. Sandie in particular looked after us and I never had any doubt we were in the most capable of hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sandie and her team to anyone that is looking for help buying or selling based on my experience. I will forever be grateful to her for helping turn my dream into a reality. Thank you so much First Step! My dad is looking to sell his property soon and I will definitely be pointing him in your direction.”
“Hi Claudia – Hope you are well and that work has settled after my protracted sale! I just wanted to say how very grateful I was for all your hard work and patience during my sale. You were on top of everything, kept me in the loop at all times and you were even calling me after your working day had finished. You have no idea how sane you kept me during this time. I can honestly say it was the most stressful time and where other companies had not been even half as efficient as you were and always have been, I don’t think I could have continued on with the sale. For that persistence, you have my gratitude. Even though First Step were allocated to Genesis for my original purchase and later sale of my flat, this lack of choice regarding estate agent was actually the best thing ever. The professionalism shown by yourself and Sandie have been second to none and and the continued support throughout this process was invaluable. To only say thank you does not seem enough but from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Wishing you all the best for the future.”
“Great team, super helpful responding rapidly to all of my questions. Highly recommended.”
“I’ve sold 2 and purchased 2 properties through First Step now and my in laws have rented with them on Fairfield. The team are great – incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. Can’t see us ever selling our house through anyone else and would always recommend them for both rentals and sales. 5 stars on all fronts.”
“The First Step team are professional and in a class of their own. Their reputation for achieving a successful outcome for clients is well-deserved. I was provided with a great sales strategy which was then implemented with remarkable energy, enthusiasm, and attention-to-detail. My house sold to the 2nd viewer at the full asking price. I could not ask for more from Nicola and the First Step Team. If you are buying or selling a home, you can rely on First Step to get the job done professionally. I am an older lady and felt safe and comfortable in their hands with my most prized asset – a house. Thank you all again.”
“To Jules, David and the First Step team, Many thanks for all your hard work in achieving the sale of our property. We are so very grateful for all your hard work in getting us to completion.”
“Dear Jules & David, Thank you for your ongoing care and attention in providing a high quality service as always. The team at First Step are continuously friendly, efficient and professional; a special thank you to Laura who has provided constant communication and perseverance with my rental property over the years.I am really pleased that our paths crossed as you have been reliable throughout! You have both worked so hard to create a service a “step” above any other agent due to your innovative approach and for always putting customer service at the heart of what you do. I recommend your team to friends and family. It has been a pleasure to see your business grow over the years and I feel very grateful for your input and support during this time. Wishing you both and the entire First Step team all the best for the future. Best wishes.”
“Dear Jules & the rest of First Step, Thanks a lot for all the help provided during the move. Even though you were not our estate agents, I really appreciated the support you provided. We are glad we have finally moved and also secured a place for my son at school.”
“Dear Jules, Nicola, Deb & team at First Step, Caroline and I would like to thank you for your combined efforts and success in selling our house. We were very pleased with the professional and respectful manner you showed when dealing with us and I’m sure, the viewers. Thank you all.”
“Good morning Sandie, We would like to thank you for all you did in getting us in our new flat. It’s just what we wanted ,we feel at home already. Thanks once again.”
“Having asked First Step to manage my rental property, I have been delighted with the results. Their team are not only friendly and approachable but highly professional too. From the moment I signed with First Step to new tenants moving in took less than three weeks. They made sure that the whole process was simple and entirely stress free for me so I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“I have found Laura and Sofia to be highly efficient and professional in what they do. They managed my property expertly from the minute the purchase completed until a tenant moved in 4 weeks later. During that time they handled every aspect of preparing my property for the rental market including overseeing a complete repaint and the laying of new carpet. Your website says that you are the number 1 lettings team in the local area and from my experience I can only agree with that statement. Thank you for all your help.”
“To Jules, David & Team, Can’t thank you enough! We made it at long last….thanks to you all. We have our dream home. Best wishes.”
“Dear Nicola, From start to finish on the selling of our apartment you have been totally dedicated which we both thank you for, without you we would not have our dream home.”
“To everyone at First Step, Just to say a massive THANK YOU to you all, especially to Nicola. You have held our hand through the entire process and nothing has been too much trouble. Even those silly questions were answered for us. We haven’t had to do anything in terms of our viewings and any follow up visits. Thank you again and you even helped us find our rental home for our next chapter as we now split our life between Stotfold and Wales!!! Thank you.”
“A belated thank you to you and all team for all the hard work, quietly and efficiently performed, who sold my house in Bronte Avenue and enabled me to purchase the house I desired in Fairfield Gardens. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed and your calming influence was much appreciated. I’m certainly not thinking of moving ever again but if I do I will look no further than you to sell it. With grateful thanks.”
“Hi Jules – We just wanted to say a huge thank you to David, yourself and the team for all your help and hard work in helping us sell and move. We our gradually settling into our new home and the girls are loving the garden in this sunshine. We were both really happy with the service your team provided, the regular contact by phone and email was great and exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend you to all our friends and if we were to ever move again in the future we would definitely use you again. “
“Dear Claudia, A massive thank you to you and everyone at First Step for all of your help. What you do is amazing and is giving everyone a chance to get on the property ladder and we can’t thank you enough! Wishing you all the best for the future!”
“Dear Bob, Thank you very much for the kind cooperation & care provided during the stay at 46 Carmel House 1G2 6FH. You have been always available at request, sorted all issues and even advised. Thanks for making my London stay fruitful. Wishing you all the best.”
“We were very happy with the service provided by First Step when purchasing our first home. Nicola was helpful, informative and always contactable throughout the entire process. We did not feel pressured at any point, compared to other estate agents who tend to hound you at times.”
“Good Evening Jules, – I wanted to say thank you so much for selling our house and helping us move up the property ladder to our three bed terrace home. Your knowledge and experience has helped my family’s future at Bronte Avenue which we are very much looking forward to making our own. I can’t wait to decorate our son’s bedroom and give him what he actually needs. The theme must be dinosaurs or fishing, I’ll make sure of it! Basically we are really happy and it’s all down to First Step. Thank you all for your support through out our move.”
“CLC Limited has had dealings with Ian Bovingdon stretching over many years. We have always found him and his team at First Step Land & New Homes to be highly professional and knowledgeable. He is often our 1st point of call for advice in site we are considering to purchase and information we give him is treated highly confidentially”
“Thank you for coming today. We are astounded at your still-obvious passion for what you do and your splendid attention to detail! Even though we know you from last time round, it is still so refreshing to come across an estate agent that genuinely cares. Your personal touch does not go unnoticed 😀 After your help and hard work last time round, we didn’t think twice about asking you to be our agent this time round – no other agent would ever do! “
“Hi Bob, Got my keys 😁 Thanks for the all the support. It was absolutely a perfect support in terms of communication, followup and guidance provided through out the process. It was a pleasure interacting with you and happy to be dealt with by Bob @ First Step. “
“Hi David, Please excuse this intrusion into your busy life. But by chance I happened to look at your website. In your line of business, you probably get some criticism . so I would like to pay you and your team a compliment. I would like say how professional I found your website, we thought your video of Stotfold would make anyone want to live in the surrounding district. We have lived on Fairfield for the past 13 years, we were one of the original pioneers. You and your team deserve every success, well done keep up the good work.“
“Hi Jules, Thanks again for all your help and support over this process. We have been and will continue to recommend you to all our friends and neighbours. We think the extra level of personal attention and local knowledge you give is outstanding.”
“As I said last night, we were gutted not to get the property we wanted but everything happens for a reason I guess. Can I take this opportunity to thank you for all your help and patience over the past few months. Could you also thank all your staff for me. Each and every person I dealt with was very professional, helpful and friendly. If and when we decide to sell again, we will be coming straight to you guys again. Thank you very much”
“Hello All – Thank you so much for all your help and support during our sale. There where times that I wasn’t sure we would ever get to this stage but due to Nicola’s ‘dogged’ persistence and supportive ear on both sides of the sale we have finally made it to the end. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend First Step to any prospective house hunters. Again many thanks.”
“Sofia and Laura did an excellent job in finding a suitable tenant for me. They were in constant communication and are clearly experts at what they do. It took only 3 weeks from beginning to end before I had new tenants in the property. I don’t see how anybody could have done a better job. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, more competent or more efficient team and would recommend their services unreservedly.”
“Hi Claudia, All well here apart from the back breaking house move! Just want to say special thanks to you you’ve been amazing throughout the process and made what is already stressful that much better. Thanks again for everything and best wishes.”
“Lead by a very knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic couple, the First Step team works wholeheartedly to fulfil the expectations of their clients and keeps them constantly abreast of the status/progress of their sale. The teams’ helpfulness and efficient follow-up on all processes is beyond that normally received. A very satisfied customer…………thanks again to you all. I do not know how I could have got away from the house on the completion day without your help Jules and that of Claudia.”
