What Our Clients Say About Us
Read what our clients have to say about their experience with MQ Estate Agents.
We got over the Home Report valuation, which was nice.
I had one hot property to sell – my home was a former fire station. Everyone came in was taken aback by the scale of the place and agreed it had the wow! factor.
The huge window was once a big door, where the fire engines would go out on calls at Gartloch Hospital in Lanarkshire. One woman even wanted to buy all our furniture as well.
I was very happy with the service we got from MQ. Barry came out and explained what kind of price we might expect. In the end, we got over the Home Report valuation, which was nice.
Holly was on the phone all the time, keeping us up-to-date with everything. If I was asked for my views, I’d just tell them to get Barry out to your house and take it from there. I had absolutely no problems, whatsoever.

Holly is a force to be reckoned with.
My plan was to sell the big family home, buy a smaller house, and retire from my job in the NHS. I put it on the market with MQ in August, despite my neighbour telling me it was the ‘worst possible time’ to try and sell a house. Well, MQ managed it alright.
Holly is a force to be reckoned with. If this girl can’t sell a house, no-one can. They really negotiate for you and keep you up-to-speed with everything that’s going on. The photographer, Mary, was lovely and Barry was very professional.
I felt they were my friends by the end of it. So much so, that I recommended them to the man who bought my place……and he’s using MQ's assisted move scheme now!

Hassle-free, money in the bank within a month.
I got to hear about MQ through my niece, who had sold her house in Newton Stewart and highly recommended them. We were selling my mother-in-law’s house, which had become too big for her. Things were really straightforward, hassle-free, even.
Barry came to see the house and it went on the market on the 14th of October and I had the money in my bank account before Christmas. Luckily, it was a cash buyer. Once the deal had been done, Preeya told me I could have the money in three weeks. I replied:”Really?” MQ provided an excellent service. My own house is in Fife, so if I ever go to sell it, I’ll be giving them a call.
Hassle-free, money in the bank within a month. Happy to recommend them.

No one will work harder or have more dedication than Barry and Holly.
We recently signed up to a Part Exchange Safety Net package with Avant Homes which meant they would pay for our marketing fees and estate agent costs, but we had to go with an estate agent they chose. We had had Barry from MQ out previously and his knowledge and professionalism was unmatchable, and the whole experience just felt so genuine.
And then it got even better when we spoke with Holly who is just the best estate agent I’ve ever met, she just goes totally above and beyond and makes selling such an exciting prospect. Unfortunately, however, despite us fighting to use MQ, Avant homes told us we had to use a big corporate agent who they regularly do business with.
The experience with this big agent couldn’t have been anymore stressful and disappointing and we genuinely feel we were an inconvenience and they wanted us to accept the first offer so they could move onto their next listing. We gave Holly a call because we wanted to pull our property from the other agent and go with MQ instead, but she was completely honest and said the damage had been done, the offer on the table was still good, and that she didn’t feel it was right to take our money because she couldn’t 100% guarantee we would get more money. We were totally taken aback because honesty is so uncommon with a lot of agents and it’s really special that MQ genuinely had our best interests at heart and that was so much more important to them than money. On top of that, Holly was always there for us to chat to when we needed advice on the sale and just to generally cheer us up about the whole situation. Imagine not even being a client and still receiving the absolute best customer service around. That’s the quality and ethos of estate agency that should be everywhere, and now I can honestly say that whenever I sell I won’t hesitate about going to anyone else. MQ can not only produce the highest of results but they can make the experience honest and fun, and you will come out knowing that whatever money you got from your sale that will without a doubt be the best offer possible because no one will work harder or have more dedication than Barry and Holly.

Dealing with MQ has been like eating a meal at a 3 Michelin Star Restaurant - Superb!
Coming from a pretty bad experience involving another “estate agent in Glasgow City Centre”, me and my wife were led to believe our flat in Merchant City would not sell. After doing some research I came across MQ Estates purely by coincidence and was astonished to see 140 plus 5-star ratings from different people who all had nothing but good words for this business. Holly’s professionalism enthused us with confidence that there is hope our property would sell when it came on the market. We being bruised by our previous experience were cautiously optimistic as well. Within 2 days we had an offer and the sale is going through. Holly and her team need to be congratulated on the speed that this whole thing unfolded much to our complete surprise. She backed up her amazing communication, negotiation skills, and understanding of the market with results.
In an environment where normally you see a lot of complacency, ambivalence from bigger established estate agents, we saw agility, situational awareness and positive results all due to Holly and the team’s amazing work ethic.
We were kept informed via text, email and found our property on all the right portals and placed at the correct price point for a successful sale. And when it came to negotiating the offer for us, there was a very motivating attitude, which concluded with a very good result for us. We have nothing but amazing and positive things to say about Holly and everyone at MQ Estates who have turned this situation from a cautious negative to a roaring positive. She is akin to a good doctor you see in the emergency department. Precise, clinical and thinks two steps ahead for the best optimal outcome.
We could not have wished for anyone better and whole heartedly recommend their services to anyone and suggest anyone in a buying / selling situation give MQ a serious consideration.
