Testimonials

Brilliant support and communication. It was a difficult sale/purchase but Colin was brilliant. I would highly recommend Hive as a reliable, solid and friendly estate agency. Jenny Pearce Swanage 18/11/2024

Paul was simply superb: helpful, insightful, and a delight to work with. Ultimately, he sold my property in short order thanks to his fresh approach to marketing and willingness to go the extra mile. He kept me informed at every stage, even though I was out of area by the time the sale was going through. I would highly recommend Paul and HIVE & Partners. Thank you so much! James Aiken Wimborne 09/11/2024

Impressive service from start to finish. We were updated regularly on viewing appointments and viewer feedback. Paul answered any queries we had promptly, and his advice was invaluable. He liaised between buyers and solicitors, and kept us updated on the progress of both exchange and completion. Highly recommend this proactive company. Tracy Baines Ferndown 05/11/2024

Selling made easy! Matt came highly recommended and I can’t fault the service we have received. Right through from the initial enquiry to an after sale query from the buyer, the communication was prompt, friendly and concise. It was evident Matt knows the area, the potential buyers, and how to reach them effectively. This lead to several offers within just days of marketing. The progression team were also very helpful and friendly in keeping things moving. A first class service. Thank you! Katie Dyer Poole 29/10/2024

Great from start to finish, always there with knowledge and a professional manner, and a great work ethic. They managed to turn our house round in record time! Phil Palmer Swanage 22/10/2024

I cannot recommend Hive and Partners highly enough! My flat had been on the market for several months with another agent who had not managed to sell, despite having numerous viewings. Within a week of being on the market with Hive it was sold. Paul was excellent and was there throughout the process to support, make calls where necessary and ensure the sale went as smoothly as possible. The reassurance of Hive's experience, professionalism and care was invaluable and I am so grateful. Sarah Holloway Shore Wimborne 14/10/2024

We would gladly recommend Hive to family and friends. Thanks to Colin, who was helpful and communicative during the purchase of our house. Clara Dorrington Swanage 03/09/2024

We have just exchanged contracts on a property we brought through Hive. We had the pleasure of dealing with Tracey, she was fantastic! I cannot recommend her highly enough and I already have recommended her to some of my customers who are looking to sell their houses. She had such amazing energy and was so lovely we genuinely felt lucky to have met her. Nothing was/is too much trouble any time of day we had anything to ask Tracey was available and happy to help. You could tell that they actually cared for their sellers and always had their interest as their primary focus. I cannot speak highly enough of Hive, the sale progression side was great, they kept me posted all the way though. Thank you so much. Jordan Cole Christchurch 06/08/2024

First class service from Colin - nothing was too much trouble and he followed everything through from the first enquiries to the successful completion. He was always on hand and very quick to respond. I felt that I mattered which has not always been my experience with other agents. Liz Swanage 11/06/2024

We have been impressed by Tracey since she first called at our property She very quickly felt like a friend and someone we could trust. Never a day went by when she did not get in touch to keep us informed. She was positive and proactive, making a point of becoming very knowledgeable about our property and was always able to show it off to its best advantage. Tracey was very innovative and creative and worked with us and the HIVE media team to effectively market our house. If you are selling your house you need Tracey. HIVE offered to sell our house in 4 weeks and to our surprise sold it in 13 days. David Foord Barton on sea 06/06/2024

As a buyer, you obviously don't get a say in an estate agent, but I have to say, I couldn't have wished for a better estate agent to deal with than James at Hive & Partners. The experience was amazing – from initial communication to final completion. A pleasure to work with. Not pushy or persuasive. Highly recommend using Hive to anyone. Thanks James! Dan Mason Bournemouth 05/06/2024

Well what can we say! Just wow. James at Hive went above and beyond to help us achieve buying our forever home. James kept us up to date on a regular basis and stepped in when our own estate agent fell "a bit" short. He isn't your typical estate agent at all. He isn't pushy, overbearing or full of flannel. He is definitely fair and works so hard for his client. If we were to sell (which we aren't!) we would absolutely use James a million percent. Thank you so much. Sally Dorchester 01/06/2024

James and Nicole are absolutely amazing at what they do! As first time buyers we were quite nervous about the process but James definitely made us feel better. He was always going above expectations to support us in quickly getting answers to any questions and even helped us with printing documents and dropping them to us at short notice. Thank you! Nicole is a very warm supportive person who is always available to help. Without her we would still be waiting for answers. She offered amazing advice and made me feel very supported even when we had other challenges. We can’t thank you both enough! We would highly recommend Hive and I know we will definitely be using them again in the future! Anna Shenton Bournemouth 30/05/2024

Tracey Dwight has gone over and above what is required from an Estate Agent. She sold my property in record time. There was no question she could not answer! Her dealings with me were professional and kind. I totally trusted Tracey to do the sale of my property. She was referred to me by a friend who had only positive things to say about her. I would recommend Tracey to anyone. She definitely is a 5 star Agent! Liz Marsh Christchurch 15/05/2024

Absolutely incredible from start to finish. I had been up for sale for a long time and my house just wasn’t selling. I switched to Hive and they were incredible from the get go. James Evans is fantastic at what he does and sold my house in 3.5 weeks! Huge thank you to James and also to Nicole who was fantastic at progressing my sale. Thank you both SO much. I am now able to start my new chapter in my wonderful new home with my children. I’d recommend Hive to anyone and everyone! Sian McKenna Bournemouth 13/05/2024

James and his team were friendly and professional from the out set. Great service and the purchase was completed within 11 weeks. Responsive to all our communications, highly recommend. Paul Grant Bournemouth 08/05/2024

Absolutely fantastic team. Matt and Nicole go above and beyond and I could not of wished for anything more. I can't thank them enough for all their hard work throughout my house sale. They are exceptional, professional and a very good hard working team. I felt looked after and would highly recommend HIVE. Thank you for everything, I am extremely happy. Natalie Anne Lower Parkstone, Poole 04/04/2024

Matthew at HIVE was absolutely amazing during the process of purchasing our first home. He was so attentive and patient and helped out massively when there were delays with the solicitors. He organised everything to make it easy for us and even left us a card and bottle of Prosecco on move in day! We were beyond impressed and can’t thank him enough for all his help and support over the past few months. Sean Carson Creekmoor, Poole 04/04/2024

Amazing service. The marketing couldn’t have been more professional - drone pictures were used to show surrounding area. Updates every step of the way. Would definitely recommend. Nicky Farnham Creekmoor, Poole 03/04/2024

We are grateful and lucky to say that – quite simply – James Evans has provided us with exactly the type & standard of service that the Hive website outlines; excellent service and an exceptional experience. It is unusual to find products and services where you can say this in all honesty – many services over-sell themselves and/or under-deliver. But in the recent & current fragility of the economy, and with a number of disappointments with other agencies leading up to our successful purchase, James provided us with superb support professionally in a very human and personal way too. This was of immense value throughout the complicated process of buying a new home. Thank you James. We love our new home. Idoia Garmendia Bournemouth 20/03/2024

We received outstanding service from James Evans at Hive & Partners during what was a tricky and pressured sale. He picked up the pieces after we’d had two disastrous sales fall through with a high street agent (who couldn’t have been more disinterested). James was positive and proactive from the first time we met, unlike the other agents that seemed to just drone on about how awful the market was! His creative and pragmatic approach meant we quickly found the right buyers, and also kept the transaction on track after the chain collapsed a few days before Christmas. James was so easy to work with, professional, and his communication couldn’t be bettered. Never just took anything at face value when chasing down the other solicitors/agents in the chain. On top of that, the marketing materials and social media promotion were a level above anything else we’ve seen and really did our property justice. We highly recommend James @ Hive to anyone considering marketing their property. We would not hesitate to use him next time. Thanks for keeping us sane James! Gemma Reeves Bournemouth 10/03/2024

Matt is a fantastic estate agent. He guided and helped us through the process of selling our home. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Chris Parnell Poole 29/02/2024

Colin goes above and beyond! Really genuine helpful guy who has helped me and my family on many occasions, including buying a property and getting us the best outcome. Bethany Harrison Swanage 24/01/2024

Being a first time seller and the buyers purchasing their first home there was a significant amount of "hand holding" required from Matt. He dealt with the sale brilliantly and went the extra mile even collecting and delivering contracts! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hive to anyone. Laura Bailey Broadstone 20/01/2024

Matt has been amazing in helping us purchase our first home. Hive have been very efficient and we couldn’t fault them! Ellie Kaye Broadstone 19/01/2024

From the offset Matt at Hive has exceeded expectations. He is professional, assuring and had an outstanding eye for detail whilst selling our property in Creekmoor.

A very professional service throughout the process from Hive - highly recommended!! Louise Reynolds Bournemouth 28/11/2023

Recently widowed the thought of selling and buying was daunting. From day one James went above and beyond to help with both the sale of my house and purchase of another. Because of his professionalism it made the process much less stressful. He was always available to offer help, support and advice. His personal touch for me in my situation was so reassuring. He's an absolutely superb estate agent and even called after I'd moved to check I was OK and settled. Thank you James from Jenny & family for everything you did. Jennifer Winkworth Dorchester 23/11/2023

Hive & Partners are exactly what is needed in the Real Estate business. Fast, Efficient, Creative, Positive, and Resourceful.

I have just used Hive to sell a house that had been on the market with another agent for quite a while. Matthew came in like a breath of fresh air! He was very personable, professional, friendly and supportive. Hive have a good system of promoting properties and the house sold quickly after some very proactive work from Matthew! I would thoroughly recommend the company to sellers and buyers. Nicky Clark Poole 07/11/2023

I recently bought a property he was marketing and nothing was too much trouble - even when I was being indecisive and had quite a few viewings! Highly recommended! Caroline Weaver Bournemouth 03/11/2023

We met Matthew after he contacted me re selling a property. He has been amazing, keeping me updated with all buyers and always happy to talk to me if I had a question.

James has been an absolutely superb estate agent. His enthusiasm, hard work, dedication and professionalism know no bounds.

Colin in Swanage did a fantastic job selling my property. He was a pleasure to deal with - always friendly polite and above all enthusiastic about his job. He introduced a number of potential purchasers to the property and he always gave feedback on viewings. I have no hesitation recommending Colin and Hive to anyone thinking of selling their home in Swanage and the wider area. A good job very well done! Elaine Scrymgeour Swanage 06/10/2023

James at Hive sold our house within 3 weeks. Excellent customer service and great communication. We immediately felt comfortable dealing with James and he filled us with confidence. Hive used up to date marketing and professional photography. James was available 7 days a week and out of office hours if anything was needed. We would recommend Hive to anyone looking for a professional trustworthy estate agent. Richard Sparshott Bournemouth 14/08/2023

Cannot speak highly enough of James from Hive & Partners. From start to finish he was professional, friendly, a step ahead of our every question and when things didn't always run smoothly (nothing to do with Hive) he was the calm, reassuring presence to guide us through. I can 100% recommend James from Hive & Partners to anyone looking to sell. A huge thank you simply isn't enough to express our gratitude. Gemma Ballard Bournemouth 25/07/2023

I cannot speak more highly of James and his team at Hive. They have sold my late mother's house for us. They have they been extremely efficient, organised and excellent communicators, but more importantly so understanding of the situation - handled with empathy and patience from start to finish and many times have gone the extra mile to help sort things out with the house as we live many hours away. A very personal and highly professional service. Thank you James and Hive team. Lindsay Brazil Bournemouth 04/07/2023

Our attempt at moving house was falling at every hurdle until we encountered Colin. His attitude, knowledge and availability made us feel that at long last someone was listening and doing something. Above all, he kept in touch throughout the buying process and it is our pleasure to recommend Colin to all who want to find a new home. Juliet Swanage 05/06/2023
