    The service I received was first class

    We will never be able to thank Rettie’s enough, Andrew in particular for handling the sale of our home of 33 years. He achieved a figure we hadn’t even thought of. Not only was he instrumental in selling our house but because of the way he negotiated our sale, he directly contributed to us securing our new home which we love so much. Communication was first class and highly professional. Not only that, it was warm hearted and sincerely caring. Impeccable manners, and a polite and articulate voice on the end of the phone is of great importance when you are talking to someone who has been given responsibility for selling your most treasured family asset. I often struggle to hear properly on the phone and I found it a great comfort to listen to the beautifully spoken and clear voices of Andrew, Emma and Holly. The young ladies are to be thanked for their kindness and patience when I was contacted by them to arrange viewings. Grateful thanks to you all.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie’s.

    Andrew Ligertwood was excellent throught the process of selling our house through Retties. As first-time sellers he guided us through the process at every step. His communication was excellent throughout - on time, clear and informative. The process went faster than we imagined and we got a higher value for the property than initially considered - I am sure that this was in part down to Andrew's shrewd judgement and the professionalism shown in dealings with the buyers. I'd recomment his services without reservation.

    Excellent service, thank you so much

    Rettie's helped us to sell my fathers home in order to have the funds to pay for his nursing home fees. It was an extremely stressful time and Rettie's could not have been more supportive. Excellent communication, nothing was too much trouble, I understood what was happening every step of the way and i would have no hesitation in recommending Rettie's to anyone selling a home.

    Rettie went above and beyond

    Rettie have a fantastic brand and reputation. After using Rettie I can see why. Our engagement and experience with Andrew Ligertwood & Sarah Turner was seamless, over communicative, transparent and productive. Inevitably speed bumps occur however even out with our control I found Rettie to step up, raise the bar even higher and execute when it mattered most.Our experience was exceptional and I would encourage anyone to strongly consider Rettie.

    Smooth, respectful process

    Emma at Rettie's helped us to sell our house in Musselburgh. The process was smooth and I felt listened to and taken seriously in regards to pricing, and any concerns I had. (I had a different experience during a first consultation with another prominent Portobello based estate agent). Would highly recommend.

    Clashmore sold to the perfect family

    Chris Hall and Emma were both spot one instant answers. Went the extra mile on the history of the property and produced over 50 views and we landed 11. Firm and good offers.
    Emma came up trumps in the final stages to chase up the buyers lawyer ‘s snail pace work ethic and finally she signed the missives at the eleventh hour!
    Retries did us proud !
