Joan McAuley was fantastic throughout the process and we would highly recommend her and Simpson & Marwick for selling your property. Despite selling in a slow and difficult market, Joan always had fresh ideas and persisted until she found a very good buyer. Our only comment is that we would have preferred that Simpson & Marwick returned to advertising on ESPC as well.

Simpson & Marwick did a great job. Despite us being located 400 miles away from Edinburgh everything went very smoothly. Joan and the whole team were very good at keeping us up to date and gave great advice on marketing the property and balancing speed of sale vs maximising the value of the property. Highly recommended!

Thoughtful and professional service from start to finish. Exceptional marketing brochures. Incredibly friendly yet professional team who were able to provide really practical advice on how to progress a sale which proved invaluable and really got us the best result I think we could have hoped for. Then moving on to their legal team who were equally excellent. Providing clear advice and managing the process clearly and efficiently. Thanks to all.

Joan McAuley was a wise, reassuring expert who guided me graciously through the complex business of selling my flat after many years of living there. I have already recommended her to others. She was excellent!

Joan McCauley of Simpson Marwick was very helpful from the start to finish of selling my sister's flat and guided us through some tricky waters when the buyer was intent on gaining a dedicated parking space as well as a flat.
The whole process went very smoothly thanks to Joan.

Many thanks to the great Simpson and Marwick team in North Berwick particularly Charlotte and the ladies who helped with the viewings for my flat.
They provided an excellent service and I would thoroughly recommend them.

The sale of our home was entirely stress free - cannot give higher praise than that. We appointed Simpson & Marwick based on our first call with Joan as we liked her directness and ability to give her opinion. Joan offered advice and strong guidance along the way when needed. She was on top of every aspect of the sale and seemed to have a fantastic knowledge of the Edinburgh market. Joan was really helpful as we were not living at the property during the sale and so she was on hand to give keys for photographers/contractors etc etc. The process could not have been easier.

Recently sold with Simpson & Marwick. It was an excellent and seamless experience. Charlotte, in particular, went above the call of duty in terms of thoroughness, friendliness, and communication Would certainly recommend.

Excellent service from Charlotte and team at Simpson & Marwick North Berwick. Walked us through the whole process of selling our home and purchasing another and provided great service throughout. Charlotte in particular provided such a personal service, from the first visit to appraise our property to the week of the move, and really went above and beyond to help make our move happen and remove some of the stresses from the process!
Matthew Lloyd
Brilliant experience using Simpson & Marwick. Charlotte was an absolute pleasure to work with and walked us through the process seamlessly. Simpson & Marwick were able to cater to our requests and turn what is usually a stressful experience into an enjoyable one.

From start to finish, we received such a high level of service throughout each stage of our sale. Everything was executed so professionally and efficient, resulting in a very easy and quick sale. We couldn’t recommend them enough. Great service, and very friendly and helpful staff.

From the initial thorough evaluation and clear explanation of the process ahead, to the great marketing materials, and to the support, advice and encouragement given along the way, I felt safe and valued - confident that I had made the right choice. The North Berwick team were always responsive and friendly, and above all professional. They know their business.

Fantastic Professional Company
We could not have been more satisfied with the Professionalism and support we received from both Carole and Alicia at the North Berwick office. They were brilliant. We were delighted with the presentation, service, communication and negotiated sale of our house. The property industry weathered a very bumpy storm last year and we are so glad we were in the steady ship that was Simpson Marwick. Thank you Captain Carole and First Mate Alicia, we are forever grateful from Louise and Nancy

Great engagement, support, collaboration, communications and clarity in the sale of my Mother's East Lothian property. Made the chain work to the intended date as well, no mean feat. Really very helpful and professional throughout. Highly recommend their services.

We have recently sold our property with Simpson & Marwick, and they handled the process smoothly from start to finish. We were working against tight timescales over the Christmas and New Year period, but they kept us updated throughout and helped us to achieve a successful sale. Would certainly recommend!

The team at Simpson & Marwick run a professional and slick operation. From producing high quality marketing material, arranging for the home report and thereafter providing viewing agents to “sell” the property to prospective buyers. Carole was my appointed sales negotiator, she was extremely professional and obviously had a wealth of experience. She was charming and approachable and communicated regularly with timely updates, guiding me through the process and making recommendations as required. The entire team worked together navigating through the different stages of the sale process which culminated in achieving in excess of my target sale value. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Simpson & Marwick and would utilise their services again in the future if the need arises. I cannot thank them enough for their expertise !

I had previously used the legal team of Simpson & Marwick when buying a property in Edinburgh, and had been very impressed with the service I received. Nearly ten years on I had no hesitation in engaging the estate agency team to sell the property and the legal team to deal with the conveyancing of both the sale and purchase of a new property. The service I received was seamless and highly professional throughout. In particular, their communication was outstanding.
Ewan Hemingway
Simpson and Marwick were great throughout the whole process of selling our house. Their portal made it easy to view viewings and track progress, and we were very happy with the final sale. Highly recommended!

I I first used Simpson & Marwick c. 6 years ago when I sold a property in the Scottish Borders. At that time I found them to be extremely efficient and quick to respond to phone calls and emails. When I eventually sold the property they achieved a sale price that far exceeded my expectations.
Fast forward 6 years and I'm about to put my flat on the market in Edinburgh.
I approached 6 Estate agents (Including Simpson & Market) to see if there was much difference in the selling costs and the marketing packages offered.
The quote from Simpson & Marwick wasn't the cheapest, but based on my previous experience and the way their representative spoke when visiting my property, I went ahead and engaged them again.
Once again, I found them extremely efficient. I was given a dedicated web page that showed exactly where they were in terms of pulling together the various elements of the sale - Home Report, Floor Plan. 3D tour, photos, brochure production etc.
At any time, I could see exactly how things were progressing.
When the property went live on the market, I could see how many people had viewed the page, downloaded the Home report, even how many times the virtual tour had been viewed.
As a side note, the company they used to do the virtual tour did an absolutely superb job in showing the flat at it's best, even coming back on a sunny day to shoot the outside of the property in the sunshine!
My property was on the market for 9 days, at which point we had enough notes of interest to go to a closing date.
To summarise, they may not be the cheapest estate agents in the city, but you get what you pay for with Simpson & Marwick: -
* They're very responsive and can get the property on the market quickly
* They provide a 2nd to none marketing platform and promotion assets
* Ultimately they realised a great selling price for my flat, beyond my expectations.
I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, easily worthy of a 5* Review!

Thank you to Diane her wonderful team in North Berwick and colleagues elsewhere in Simpson and Marwick. I am grateful for their expert professional advice through which the property was marketed and sold without delay. However, above all else, it is the genuine personal interest and engagement to achieve the desired result that differentiates them from the rest. Wholeheartedly recommended.
