The Venue

ABD Team had no idea that they were going to win this Award! They were there to enjoy and support the event…

“This firm demonstrated an excellent customer service ethos throughout; strong processes and imaginative problem solving were evident across the board. There were numerous proven examples of the team going above and beyond to help customers. References from agents are exemplary; the entire team works hard to foster good relationships with the agents and they enjoy joint training and social events to aid this approach. The panel were pleased with its turnaround time from sale agreed to exchange; this is helped in no small way by top-notch systems and processes; with 97% of customers saying they would re-use this firm, theirs is clearly an approach which works.”
















The Team

This GOLD AWARD is a very clear indication of the hard work and excellent service ABD provides and also to be recognised as the BEST.
