The proof of the pudding.....
"I engaged Cathy and Sonia at frontdoorz during the latter part of 2009 with a view to sourcing investment and development opportunities for my Property Company. Both Cathy and Sonia conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism and located some great opportunities that otherwise weren’t openly available. Their ability to engage with and respond to my very specific requirements was very impressive indeed. They are both consummate professionals in the property field with supreme negotiation skills. If you don’t engage their services, be prepared to run the risk of coming up against them…!"

"frontdoorz were able to help me find a property by telling me about properties that had not yet even been put on the market. They accompanied me to viewings giving valuable advice and feedback. They reviewed the pricing strategy enabling negotiation at a price well below asking price and liaised fully with my agent.
Overall, I think frontdoorz provided an excellent service that helped me move with much less stress than I expected. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and would use them again for advice and their expertise."

“Using frontdoorz to negotiate when we purchased our new home not only enabled us to buy the property we had set our hearts on but made a challenging period extremely easy and straightforward. frontdoorz secured the deal, using market knowledge to get an incredible £50,000 off, the already reduced, asking price!”

"I hired Sonia to help me sell our flat and simultaneously to help us find and negotiate on (with Cathy her co-director) a new family home for us. Sonia's recommendations on how to stage our home were excellent and even more importantly the work she did with the photographer in the final staging before going on the market was both expert and practical in its approach. The property looked fantastic and really stood out on Rightmove. frontdoorz then provided excellent advice on the sales strategy and within a week or so we had buyers competing to provide offers over the asking price - they also negotiated well on the purchase of our new home and helped to keep me calm throughout the typical stresses and strains of moving home. I cannot recommend Sonia and her colleague Cathy enough!"

"If you were to put the search for your perfect new home in somebody elses hands, what skills you would want them to have? Fantastic listening skills, bundles of empathy and the ability to negotiate on price from a position of knowledge of the market. Cathy has these skills in spades, she understands what my clients are looking for and so they only see the properties that they need to and importantly she makes sure that the right price is paid - killer deals in heels!"

“Cathy and Soniawere fantastic in working with us and our clients in the sale of ***** Road. The property, which had been in the same ownership for a number of years, required some updating and improvements; or so I thought prior to frontdoorz involvement. They advised with regards to de cluttering, presentation and some minor redecorating. As soon as their recommendations were complete we launched the house to the open market. We had a number of offers on the property and sold it quickly considerably in excess of the guide price. None of the prospective purchasers mentioned that they felt the property required extensive work!! It showed me, a previous styling skeptic, that by properly presenting your home you can add actual value in the final price achieved! Our clients were impressed all round by Cathy and Sonia’s expertise and ability to transform their home and show its full potential. They were extremely happy we had introduced frontdoorz to them.”

"Several thousands of pounds OVER the asking price. It is that simple. This is what Sonia does, and she does it astoundingly well. She has an amazing ability to see clutter that you just don't see; 9 times out of 10 you think she is going too far, but 10 times out of 10 she is absolutely right. Her most fascinating and useful ability is to stop short of turning your house into a 'show home'; she manages to keep a 'reality' about your home so prospective buyers can see how they can live there, without resorting to gimmicks. Her design eye, coupled with a down to earth style, is what makes her service so appealing. If you want to be haggled down on price, ignore Sonia. If you want to have people engaged in a bidding war - which is exactly what happened to us when the property market was at its absolute lowest in 2009 - then engage Sonia, and take the amount over the asking price that you receive straight to the bank. Thanks, Sonia. I cannot recommend you highly enough."

"I have worked with Sonia on numerous projects over the last couple of years. What Sonia does is simply amazing! She will transform houses so they are at their very best for placing on the housing market. Sonia's great eye for detail and natural flair for interior design is why she is so successful at what she does. Her experience in the housing market is of great benefit to her clients as she will advise on all aspects of the sale and even negotiate on her clients behalf if required. If you are thinking or know someone who is thinking of selling their home contacting Sonia at Frontdoorz is an absolute must."
