We would highly recommend Martin & Pole (Reading). Joe and his team, Katherine and Dawn, were professional, proactive, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. They arranged many viewings and worked hard to find the right buyer for our property.

They kept in regular contact with all parties and closely monitored progress, making the whole experience smooth and reassuring. We really appreciated their support from start to finish.

I had a fantastic experience buying my house in Earley

I had a fantastic experience buying my home through Martin & Pole in Earley. From the outset, the service was exceptional — professional, patient, and reassuring throughout. A special thank you to Joe Gregory, whose calm and steady guidance made all the difference.

Joe took the time to explain each step, maintained excellent communication, and ensured that both the seller and I were always on the same page. His thoughtful handholding throughout the process helped me feel confident and well-supported from start to finish. I truly appreciated his responsiveness and attention to detail — it made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Martin & Pole Earley — and especially Joe Gregory — to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Best estate agent in the area

When I moved from Lower Earley to Earley some years ago, the sellers were represented by Joe at Martin & Pole. We were really impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail. When we planned to move from Earley some years ago, it was a no brainer for us to use Joe for that sale. As it happened, circumstances changed for us and we opted to stay in Earley and not sell. However, when we needed to sell my fathers property as a probate sale, we used Martin & Pole. Once again Joe, Katherine and Dawn were all really professsional and helpful. Joe has been in the business in this area for a long time so he knows the area and the market better than anyone. Personally, I wouldn't bother going to any other agent.

Excellent work by Martin and Pole

I have used Martin and Pole when I purchased my house. The team including Joe Gregory has done tremendous job from negotiations to the completion of the contract. They were very helpful throughout.

And now for selling the same property after 12 years, I have used Martin and Pole again. Even this time round, they have looked after us from the beginning till the end including giving us right advice to viewing and chasing relevant parties to speed up the process.

Big thanks to Joe and his team. Well done

Used for selling a property

All the staff at the Earley branch were extremely helpful. In particular Joe - who kept us informed every step of the way. The communication was second to none. We were selling a property and the experience and advice given were invaluable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this branch or indeed using them again should the need arise. Thanks to all.

Professionalism

Had a great experience with Martin and Pole. Joe showed the professionalism in the knowledge of the property and the area, understood our needs, provided the adequate recommendation on the choice of houses, and provided timely update and follow up conveyance matters. I will definitely recommend anyone to contact him if you want to find a home in this area.

An honest and reliable estate agent with a commited and efficient colleague

Joe Gregory is an excellent estate agent. He is honest, reliable, helpful and exudes professionalism. We asked 6 agents to value our property and we had no hesitation in choosing Joe. In a difficult market Joe was reassuring and supportive, and he gave us measured and well-thoughtout advice at all stages of the process. Joe is an excellent communicator, he kept in touch with us throughout the sale and at crucual points he was in touch with all the stakeholders ensuring that the sale and purchase went through smoothly. I have no hesistation in recomending Joe Gregory to anyone wanting to sell their house. We never met Kat, but every time we spoke to her on the phone she was extremely helpful and efficient. There is clearly an excellent customer focused ethos at Martin and Pole in Earley and I would like to thank Joe and Kat for the support they gave us.

The perfect team

From day one of putting our house on the market. Joe and Kat worked very professionally. Always polite. Answering all questions that I had. Guidance was never an issue. Could anything be improved, No. Martin and Pole, Earley staff, all work very well as a team. Both my wife and myself could not be happier. Well done Joe and Kat and many thanks for all your help. 😃

Highly recommend Joe and his team at…

Highly recommend Joe and his team at Martin & Pole Earley. We contacted 3 local agents to sell our property and after meeting Joe, knew he was the estate agent we wanted to do business with. Thoroughly professional and experienced, he was quick to prepare excellent sales details and get the house on the market. He provided good feedback after viewings and in a challenging market, found us a committed buyer. Katherine kept us up to date with viewings and if out of the office, Joe always returned phone calls promptly. He ensured everything ran smoothly and was an invaluable link between solicitors, our buyers and the estate agents of the property we were purchasing. An excellent team that we unhesitatingly recommend to others. Mr and Mrs Preston

Thorough and professional service

Excellent service from the team at Martin & Pole (Earley) over the recent sale of a property. Serious and thoughtul advice in the initial stages, as well as thorough and careful, honest preparation of the property details. On top of all that, extremely efficient and professional support from the office as prospective viewings were arranged and then subsequently followed-up. We were guided through the whole sale process with respect and care at all times but what stood out for us was the team's unfailing friendliness and attention to detail. Would wholeheartedly trust the team again.

Professional, curtious and patient

All I can say is a big thank you. Our sale was not the most easy but you helped us through each of the hurdles to a successful outcome. Always professional, curtious and patient. You were available even while away. Would absolutely recommend Joe Gregory and Martin & Pole. A human estate agent and that is a rarity!
