Residential Property

In two words "Superb Service" We have moved home many times over 35 years (12 times) in many differing areas so are no strangers to the rigours of home moving. We have experienced the good, Bad and the Ugly and all stations in between. We received personal, prompt, courteous and professional service from Debbie and her team, including the front of office staff when we first called at their Swaffham office to "check out" the reception.
Debbie was patient, reassuring and nothing was too much trouble, we enjoyed a virtually trouble free experience despite several issues which were uncovered, all dealt with and dispatched with a minimum of fuss.
Without a doubt one of the most pleasent and trouble free moves we have experienced, all down to the extreme professionalism and `can do` attitude of Debbie PEARCE - Thank you.

Your kind words about the service, professionalism, and positive attitude mean a great deal to us. Wishing you all the best in your new home.

Initially it was hard to get a call back but I’m glad I persevered. Debbie was very helpful and understanding. My sale wasn’t a straightforward case but Debbie was very knowledgeable and helpful. She kept me informed throughout the whole process and offered plenty of support and guidance. I felt in very safe hands with Debbie and they sale was concluded without any drama or delays. I would recommend Debbie Pearce without hesitation .
