Thank youPosted on Google Julie KendallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan Cooper Estate Agents recommended Tom Garvie to help us mortgage our new home. Right from day 1, I felt that we were in good hands with Tom and Stella. I can remember calling after 6pm one night thinking it would go to messages but no, Tom answered and even though he was on a walk, still took the time to speak with me. The mortgage was sorted so quickly and when the chain broke and the offer expired , within days a new offer was through. Stella emailed often throughout the whole process checking that all was ok. Excellent service. Thank you both.Posted on Google Ted BallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Massive Thank you to Tom and his Team.
