What agents are saying...

We were unsure how business would continue during Covid-19. How would this new normal work? Would customers buy properties online, end to end? We trialled our first Auction with Offr during this time and the sale was a huge success. The Offr team was there on hand the whole time ensuring that everything went smoothly. We have run several auctions since and all with great success and we hope to run many more in the future.

We are delighted with the service you provided in a difficult time frame on a relatively complex sale. It went very well due to your constant backup support and speed of turnaround. The price achieved was exceptional and our client is very happy.
