What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Gordon Barker handles sales, lettings and commercial work across Bournemouth and the surrounding area, and the feedback drawn from its reviews centres on steady, personal service. A point that comes up often is the speed and clarity of communication, with enquiries answered quickly and progress reported at each stage of a transaction. Named members of staff recur throughout the accounts: Roger, Stephanie, Matt, Aaron, Charlie and Dawn are linked to attentive handling of purchases and sales, while Debbie is praised for her support, responsiveness and cheerfulness in looking after rental properties.

Customers writing about their orders describe the team stepping in to coordinate with buyers and solicitors when a sale became difficult, and sellers value honest advice and a sound grasp of current market conditions. The full management package is credited with guiding new landlords through letting a property and securing a suitable tenant without delay, and tenants report tenancies that ran smoothly because problems were resolved efficiently. Longer-standing clients mention a relationship maintained over years of buying, selling and letting, and older sellers returning to the market after a long gap credit the team's calm manner with making the process manageable.

Have just completed the sale of our thatched, listed cottage in Verwood. The whole team at GBs have (almost) literally held our hand throughout the whole process. It has been 20 years since our last move and now being in our mid seventies so many of the new criteria would have been difficult for us to manage were it not for their help. Always positive and upbeat, each and every member of the sales team were able to answer any queries either via the phone or email. Outstanding customer service!

We have recently sold our house with Gordon Barker having previously rented the property through them. The staff are always polite, attentive and go above and beyond your expectations. I highly recommend them whether renting or selling. Nothing is too much trouble and the whole team have good knowledge of the current market conditions. We were kept informed of the sale process at all times which led to a very smooth sale. Thanks to all the team and I have no hesitation to recommending them.

I rented a property through Gordon Barker Estate Agents for a year and had a really positive experience. The team were always friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful throughout my tenancy. Communication was clear and consistent, and any issues that came up were dealt with promptly and efficiently. I felt well looked after as a tenant and really appreciated how smoothly everything was handled. Very happy with the team and would definitely recommend them.

Roger (Happy retirement to you), Matt and Aaron, as well as the extended team (having had dealings with Debbie and Dawn) always give the best service. Very friendly and hard working. The next time we sell, we will definitely use Gordon Barker.

I’m really happy with the service I received when buying my first flat. The whole process was professional, clear, and very friendly throughout. Roger and Stephanie were especially helpful, always quick to respond and made everything feel straightforward and stress-free. I’d definitely recommend them!

I've had a working relationship with Gordon Barker for over two years now. We first used them to buy a two bedroom house in the local area. They found us a nice property in the right area and the purchase went through smoothly. Because of this we decided to use their full management package when we rented it out. Having never been involved in the rental market they guided me through the whole process and very quickly found me a suitable tenant. Fantastic service was provided by them, I really can't fault their full management package, I've had no lost sleep! Recently through work we have had to sell this property and move away. They again helped us find through right person to buy the property and have kept us up to date through the whole process. I thoroughly recommend Gordon Barker for all your buying, selling and renting needs. Every single member of the staff are friendly and helpful and have always made me feel welcome when visiting the shop. Thanks goes to all of you.
