Testimonials
Check out our reviews and see why people are choosing Open House as their agent…
Sammy was great at selling my house. Very knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to take amazing pictures and the house was sold very quickly. Nothing too much trouble, always on the end of a phone to offer advice and help where possible. Would definitely use again and thoroughly recommend. Thank you Sammy and Open House.
Our sale has just completed with Open House and we 100% recommend them. We’re so glad we chose Sammy and Sarah to sell our home and the whole process was far superior to our other experiences with local high street agents. Nothing is too much trouble and are always available, even after normal working hours if you need to communicate or just for general advice. If you decide to list your property with Open House you’ll understand why the reviews are so good.
Sammy & Sarah are an incredible team and took on what felt like an impossible challenge and got us the result we wanted in only 8 days. They provided first class service and helped fulfilled our dream of being in our first family home by Christmas. Thank you Open House, I will and have been recommending you to all my friends and family!
Sammy and Sarah have been fantastic from start to finish. Can not praise them enough for their attention to detail and always happy to help or chat. We went to Open House after a previous estate agent that we felt we were pushed to the side. Sammy and Sarah always keep in contact and always keeps you updated.
Sammy and Sarah were fantastic from start to finish. My house was photographed, on the market and sold within two weeks. They were persistent with chasing solicitors and their advice insightful. We really wouldn't have been able to move without them..
I couldn’t be happier with the service from Sammy and Sarah. They sold my house in an incredible 36 hours! The photos they took were absolutely beautiful, highlighting the best aspects of the property. They were professional, friendly, and made the entire process seamless. So passionate and dedicated! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell quickly and efficiently.
Sammy and Sarah have been experts at their job. Always kept us informed, extremely helpful. Sammy goes above and beyond working all hours in responding and informing. They have sold my tenanted property working with limited access at times and still a quick sale. You would not get this service from a high street agent.! I would highly recommend them, especially if you cannot fit into the 9-5 working timeframes like other Agents.
Anyone out there do maths??? Sammy & Sarah + Quality Service + Professional presentation + Sharp advertising X timely updates = A highly recommendable business. Very happy with the way in which our Property Sale was handed, some of the 'big agents' could learn a lot from this Team .... Well done & Thanks
Thank you for the excellent service and friendly experience. Being a first time buyer, I was a little out of my depth with the whole process, but Sammy put me at ease and even managed to secure me with a few viewings of the house in the evening after I’d finished work. I would highly recommend Open House if you are looking for an honest and professional team to help find your home.
Absolutely fantastic estate agents, we sold our property in less than two days. Great photos and 360 tour, polite, knowledgeable, helpful and couldn't do more to support us through selling our first property. Always available when we have needed them, thank you Sammy and Sarah. Xx
I cannot praise Sammy at Open House Burton & Swadlincote too highly. From the very beginning Sammy was totally honest and transparent. He initially came across as too good to be true and therefore unfortunately caution made me go to a well know National agency. 12 Weeks later with no results I decided to go back to Sammy. My home had sold within a week. His photos were totally superior with no fuss made. The description was very accurate and attractive. We're not at the finish gate yet but I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sammy at Open House Burton & Swadlincote.

Not only did Sam & Sarah sell our house super fast at the price we wanted for it, they also did a really fantastic job of taking the stress out of our entire house move! I couldn’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for an agent who will take as much pride in selling your home as they would their own, then give them a call. Awesome attention to detail with making sure the listing looked appealing, great communication, 5 stars all around, thanks again both of you!
