”Mr & Mrs Sharpe
We had the pleasure of having Donna assigned as the estate agent managing our house purchase. She’s professional, reliable and clearly very knowledgable about the process. She’s taken the stress out of the move for us and I’ve felt confident everything is in hand as she has checked in regularly and updated us with progress. She’s so approachable and because of how lovely she is we’ve been able to discuss our worries with her which she listened to and adapted to to ensure we were as stress free as possible. She would always return our calls in a timely manner too - Something so important that I have found not all estate agents do. I highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Hodsons for your property needs. We’ve just bought a house through them, and they have made the whole process easy and smooth. A special thanks to Louise who went above and beyond to help us which was much appreciated. Without the effort of Louise and her team I’m afraid our deal would not have been completed!

Hodsons were simply brilliant. They had viewings lined up within two days of giving them the go ahead. James and his staff were extremely professional and very helpful. Every member of his team went the extra mile to help and support. I would NEVER go anywhere else.
I recommend Hodsons. they made me feel like part of their family and they looked after me all the way. If there was an award for Best Estate Agents I would be voting for Hodsons without hesitation.

”Mrs Shearon
We first used Hodsons Estate Agents some 23 years ago when selling our first home. We were very pleased with their service then. When it became necessary to sell my mother's former home we turned again to Hodsons because they were the most transparent about costs.
My family have been pleased with the service and expertise provided by James and his team.
We were kept informed on a regular basis about progress with sale visits etc, and despite the country being on lockdown they kept lines of communication open. We have no hesitation in recommending Hodsons to anyone looking for a reliable Estate Agent.

”Mrs Glover
Brilliant estate agent. Online ones are cheaper and seem a better option but in the long run a personal touch really helps getting a sale going through. I sold my property within 3 months from advertising to completion. Really professional and friendly made the whole process simple.

”Sammy Hutchinson
These guys at the Wakefield branch can not do enough for their tenants... always kind and friendly and ensure everything is done smoothly to support in moving into their properties. Repairs always done to a high standard and the houses they let are the highest standard. We have rented a property for 3 years and now going to be renting a new home with them for many years. I couldn’t recommend this company enough... thank you for making dreams come true.

”Mr and Mrs Smith
'I first met James Clarke when my mother's property was needed as security against Care Home costs. This was in September 2017. James was the only one of the three estate agents that I contacted who took the trouble to inspect the whole property thoroughly and then provide me with an appropriate estimate of the value of the property.
When the time to sell the property eventually came I had no hesitation in appointing Hodsons as sole agents for the sale.
This is where Louise then comes into the picture. She kept me fully appraised of the current situation by phone and email and both she and James organised the viewings with various potential buyers until the right one was found. From there every effort was made to bring the sale to a speedy conclusion. Living as I do in the London area you can understand how helpful it has been for me to be able to rely on such good service from professional people who know their area and can apply their expertise to full effect.
I therefore am glad to recommend James and Louise at Hodsons as the Estate Agent of choice.

Over the last 3 years I have used Hodsons Estate Agents twice with selling houses and they have been nothing but professional and helpful in every way. I wouldn’t wish to use another Agent as when you’ve had the best you don’t need the rest!
Many thanks James, Louise and team for all your help.

”Sally Bowett
Hodsons Estate Agents have sold 2 houses for me in the last 2 years, one within 3 weeks and the other within a few days. On both occasions prices were realistic, potential purchasers were screened and appointments managed with feedback within 24 hours. The managing of the sales from offer through to completion was first class, not to mention the professional and personal support for a very sensitive sale. Hodsons also manage our rental property which has been an absolute breath of fresh air as they protect our investment and ensure legal compliancy as well as managing the day to day routine tasks.
In summary Hodsons offer an excellent service at a very competitive price and I would highly recommend every time.

”Elaine Bond
We would like to thank you all for your hard work during the last few months. We could not have asked for a more professional service. Your understanding, patience and perseverance meant such a lot to us, and the end result was positive for all concerned.
Keep up the good work!
”Bob & Sue Atkinson
I would not hesitate to recommend Hodsons, they have great knowledge of the local area and assisted greatly in the selling process. When matters became complex between solicitors, James and Louise helped enormously to assist with resolutions. This was not of course their role however, they wasted no time ensuring that all parties (buyer, seller and solicitors) colluded to provide a timely resolution. In all honesty I do not know where we would have been without Hodsons and I am most grateful for all their time and effort. The involvement ensured a timely sale and I really can't thank them enough. Hodsons you have been an excellent team, well done to all of you.

I am over the moon with the help I received from the moment I put my offer in to purchase a property being sold by Hodsons. The estate agent, Donna was extremely helpful and understanding of my situation as a first time buyer. I had many questions and would often ring numerous times a week to ask questions and Donna would help in any way she could which I was really appreciative of. Thank you so much Donna for making this such a pleasant experience.

My experience of selling my parent’s deceased estate through Hodsons was first rate. James has his ‘finger on the pulse’ with respect to higher-value properties in the Wakefield area and he was very sensitive to the circumstances of my sale.

”Munir Mamujee
~~We have used the services of Hodsons estate Agents over many years. Initially this was a tenants of a property that we rented through Hodsons and always found any requirements dealt with in a professional and timely manner. Since becoming a landlord the professional attitude has continued from the initial search for a suitable tenant through to the contract arrangements and overseeing any works/repairs that need undertaking during the tenancy. They have always asked prior to appointment of tradesmen and have a good selection of people who carry out any works.
April 2015
Landlord Keith
Over the last 5 years we have been more than happy to entrust our portfolio of properties in the more than capable hands of Hodsons lettings. Not only have they let our properties with speed and efficiency, they have also managed them professionally and personally. The team at the Wakefield office are a pleasure to deal with, they tick all the boxes for us, friendly, polite, helpful, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and above all, professional. We have no hesitation in recommending Hodsons to anyone seeking to let their property as they are, in our opinion, the best lettings agents in the area.
”Mr. Nicholls
We would both like to thank you and everyone at Hodsons for all your help. We chose Hodsons for your air of professionalism and honesty, we will gladly recommend you to friends and family.
”Mrs Ibbotson
One thing we would like to point out is that Hodsons have been by far the most professional Company we have dealt with and that we have no hesitation in recommending your services.
”Mr. Mainwaring
We initially looked at a house with Hodsons which wasn't exactly what we were looking for. James was aware of what we wanted and contacted me when they took on a house which had previously been with another agent. I had missed this house on Rightmove and it had not been proposed by the other agent (despite looking at other properties with them), possibly as it was priced lower than others we were looking at. The house was perfect for us. Hodsons were very supportive throughout the sale. If James hadn't been aware of our search criteria we wouldn't have seen the house which met so many of our requirements.
”Mrs Smalley
Hodsons sold my house earlier on this year. From the start they have been professional and did everything they could to get the sale over the line. I was constantly kept informed of the progress and they were very quick to answer any questions that I had. It was touch and go towards the end as to whether or not the exchange would go through but they pulled out all stops to ensure that the buying solicitor had all they needed to exchange. They certainly had their clients interests at heart and did what they could to ensure it worked out. Thanks again, highly recommend their services, they are a great team.
