Paton's have a consistent five star rating for a reason. They are excellent. In my case, I had a hideous, extended house sale with a dropped house chain and some desperately difficult people further up the chain from those buying my place. No fault of Paton's at all, but they helped recover, what looked like, a moribund sale and put the broken pieces back in place.
We had the most AMAZING experience with Paton & Co. Kind, considerate, thoughtful, keeping the client at the centre of everything they did. Paddy encouraged us to do the Open House, we weren't keen as we'd just lost a sale. Nevertheless we went ahead and subsequently had two great offers from that event. Paton & Co keep you in the loop with modern technology, send only viewers keen to consider a purchase and we can honestly say, we would absolutely use them again without hesitation.
I highly recommend working with Paton & Co to buy or sell your next house in the Scottish Borders!! Patrick and his team will walk you through the entire process with perseverance and a deep knowledge of the housing market that will get the transaction done with minimal headache and the result you're looking for. Highly professional team that operates with integrity and an outstanding track record for customer support. We wouldn't hesitate to use Paton & Co again. We ended up with our dream home...
Absolutely Fantastic experience with paton & Co from start to finish. Very friendly, approachable and professional . Excellent communication all the way through my house purchase with Patrick, Tamara & Chloe. Myself and my son are very happy in our new home and can not thank the team at paton & Co enough .
Very professional in everything that they do which lead to a very quick and easy sale.
Very professional friendly! We bought a property through Paton & Co and it's been a wonderful experience!
