What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

David & Co Estate Agents Ltd operates as an independent, local estate agency covering Brighton and the surrounding area. Across fifteen usable reviews, buyers and sellers repeatedly praise the calm, professional manner of David and Marc, who are named in much of the feedback. Various customers describe the advice given from the first meeting as honest and well judged, with one noting that the approach avoids the hard-sell stereotype sometimes associated with estate agents.

Communication is a recurring theme: reviewers mention being kept informed at every stage, receiving quick replies to queries and having complex sales explained clearly, particularly where a difficult chain was involved. The local knowledge of the team is highlighted as helpful during both purchases and sales, and first-time buyers describe the process of acquiring a flat or house as made straightforward by the support received.

Efficiency and responsiveness come up often, as does the sense of a steadying presence during a stressful transaction. Clients who have returned after earlier sales note the same diligence on subsequent instructions, and the marketing of properties is described as careful and accurate. The paragraph closes on the point that Marc in particular is credited with going above and beyond to keep transactions moving.

We purchased our first home through David & Co. and couldn’t fault the service and communication throughout. David was incredibly helpful and responsive - he’s clearly an expert and it’s so nice to have someone calm, professional and friendly during what is (probably almost always) a bit of a stressful process. Thank you!

I've recently both bought and sold with David and Co, which has been a very positive experience. Marc has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure that things have gone smoothly. Communication is great and they have kept me informed throughout the process. Their knowledge of the local area has been really helpful. I'm hoping never to move again, but would recommend David and Co to anyone doing so!

Outstanding service. We carefully researched who to sell our home with, meeting a number of agents and observed the marketing of nearby properties by different agents over several years. Sadly we saw time and again valuations that 2 minutes on Rightmove would expose as wildly implausible. Indifferent photos, amateurish text, rotting on Rightmove for months or years with multiple agents, huge reductions, sales falling through. We obviously wanted a good but sensible price that would be achieved allowing for the usual negotiations. We asked for a focus on buyers with funds secured in a position to proceed swiftly. We didn’t want a protracted sale dominating our lives. And we wanted to be in a strong position as buyers offering a robust speedy purchase to potential sellers. We decided to place our trust in a long established firm, crucially by professionals with extensive personal knowledge of selling houses like ours. David & Co met with us to agree terms, took photos, and 4 days later went live on Rightmove. We expected and received outstanding photos accompanied by well crafted intelligent, concise and straightforward text. We wanted and received viewers/buyers discreetly vetted. 10 viewings followed over 12 calendar days, of which many were second viewings, with a sale above expectations on the 12th day and multiple offers. David and Co then expertly and professional carried out the post sale negotiations on price, maintained amicable and sensitive communications with our buyers, our sellers agent, and all Solicitors, closely monitoring progress, and achieved exchange at 3 months and completion/move at 4 months. We think that’s a pretty good outcome in this current market. If you’re in the Golden Triangle with a large premium home, I think you’d be wise to market through David & Co.

We just sold our house through David & Co and the whole experience was genuinely fantastic. Marc was brilliant throughout—friendly, calm, and always on hand when we needed updates or advice. He made the whole process feel straightforward. I’d happily recommend Marc and the team.

Having used David and Co to sell my property 12 years ago I did't hesitate in using them again. David is always professional, keeping in touch as things progressed and helping us navigate the sale process. I am happy to recommend David and Co as the best in the area.

Buying my first flat was a big step and Marc made the whole process much easier. He was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. His communication was excellent. Always quick to respond and kept me informed at every stage. Thanks for a fab service, Marc! Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend David and Co as a truly independent and local estate agent. I found them to be extremely efficient, knowledgeable and responsive to any queries and a calm guiding presence in the sometimes up and down world of selling your house. Couldn’t have asked for better.
