I wouldn’t hesitate to use Frosts again to sell my property - fantastic service from start to finish. Great communication, hard working and a really enthusiastic and professional team - all of them prepared to go the extra mile. Thank you. Catherine Marsden - 11th January 2018
Great team stepped in and helped me sell my property when another agent was struggling - was a tough deal but Jess and Daniella were amazing throughout and got it over the line - will use again in future!! Bradley Lutton 5th February 2018
Together with my sisters I had the difficult and upsetting task of selling our parents house after they passed away earlier this year. Frosts were extremely caring and supportive throughout the process. They kept us informed of developments, provided clear advice on pricing and marketing the property, and successfully achieved a timely and satisfactory sale. I would have no hesitation in recommending Frosts Estate Agents especially the St Albans team of Tom, Stuart, Daniela and Jess. Susan Galton 12th December 2017
Very professional valuation visit. We both felt that we were listened to and points we raised were taken on board. Very professional photographs taken that show the property to it’s best. Viewings happened very quickly and we were kept informed all the way through; even if offers made were not up to expectations. Frosts did say the right offer would come and it did in less than a week. Even at this stage Frosts took steps to ensure that the offer was serious and backed up with sufficient funds. Would strongly recommend Frosts to anyone serious about selling and at a reasonable fee. Jerry Gilbert 5th December 2017
