Closes at 6:30pm

Parallel House, 32 London Road, Guildford, GU1 2AB

As Guildford’s genuinely independent estate agent, I prioritise delivering a totally personal service; my aim is to make you feel as if you are my only client. You deal with me and me only from start to finish - I handle all viewings, feedback, conversations and negotiations from the day of valuation to the day of completion. I limit the number of properties I take on at any time to ensure a truly personal service for my clients. I have worked in Guildford since 1999 as an estate agent.

Z Baker

Mark Collins is an absolute pleasure to deal with. He knows the local Guildford market inside out and has a great network of contacts, which we made use of not only for our sale, but our local purchase too. Our process ended up taking a little longer than anticipated due to a Land Registry query, but he reassured both us and our buyers and provided the vital link between us all, giving us confidence that it would all come good in the end. Which it did last Thursday! He brought a completely different energy to the other agencies that we approached - and having been asked today by an old neighbour weighing up options for their sale, my response was that they should not even hesitate and list with Mark Collins....

Mark was brilliant throughout the sale of our flat. Our situation was complex but Mark expertly coordinated different people in the chain and managed difficult personalities. His experience and calm nature helped make a stressful situation that little bit easier and he went above and beyond for us. So much more than an estate agent - Mark clearly sees looking after clients and managing the whole process as a key part of his role. Would highly recommend.... Read more

We bought our first home with the amazing help from Mark! The process from end to end was made super simple and Mark kept us informed throughout every step of the way. We’re extremely happy with our new home and will be using Mark’s services in the future if we decide to sell!... Read more

Mark worked extremely hard to ensure we reached our moving day. Our situation did become complicated and Mark continued to communicate with us and all parties regularly. He was regularly available by phone and email from the moment our offer was accepted, to the moment we got the keys to our new home. We would highly recommend Collins Independent Estate Agents. Thank you for all your help.... Read more

As novices in house-selling we certainly made the right choice in appointing Mark. We benefitted immensely from his outstanding personal service. Local knowledge, genuine interest, and attention to detail. Excellent marketing through use of Instagram and range of on-line resources. Our property was quickly available to view. Property went on the market at a tricky time ‘interest rate-wise’ but Mark’s intuition and expertise saw us OK. Quick to respond and communicate via WhatsApp, e-mail, phone or in person - always had time to talk through our thoughts or queries. And no need to worry if he was away as he has good back-up to assist him. Wealth of experience with good recommendations to local legal, financial and trades. With his calm and friendly manner and professional approach, he certainly succeeded in taking the stress out of the process for us. Very highly recommended.... Read more

M Barrett

This is why you choose an Independent Estate Agency….the incredible personalised service! Mark was able to navigate a difficult sale with my parents house. My father was in poor health and wasn’t able to provide much assistance. To a large Estate Agent, he would have just been a number but with Mark, he was an elderly man that required great care and attention. Mark went beyond expectations so many times I can’t list them all but we are all incredibly grateful for the care and professionalism he provided to my family and me.... Read more

Where do I begin...Before we signed any document or agreement, Mark met with us and we discussed, at length, our feelings and expectations about selling the house, and where he felt the market was. He was upfront, informed and honest from start to finish. His suggestions were always spot-on and always backed up with solid reasons. Once we had decided collaboratively on all the details, Mark thoughtfully planned a soft launch, putting our house 'out there' for his clients who were looking to buy. He organised the open house on a weekend when families would be in town (no easy feat around the end of term and easter holidays!) and much to our delight, he had a lot of interest before the house was officially listed. Because of his strategic thinking and careful planning, the open house was not needed: the first people who viewed the house made an offer that day. Mark's unique knowledge, understanding and feel for Guildford Town Centre is unmatched by any other estate agent. Mark offers a bespoke service from start to finish; he was attentive, responsive and incredibly organised throughout the entire process. There was no drama, no stress (unbelievably) and the entire experience was very straightforward. Through each step, I felt heard and listened to. I never felt like one of his clients, I felt like his ONLY client. I cannot thank Mark enough for such a positive experience. I would never, ever consider buying or selling a property without Mark Collins. Thank you, Mark, for making what can potentially be an emotionally gruelling experience, into something that was the complete opposite. Your expertise allowed me the peace of mind that is more often than not elusive for families who are buying or selling a home.... Read more

I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. We were looking for a house for close to two years and during this time we dealt with many agents, but Mark stood head and shoulders above the rest. We could not be happier with the service we received from Collins Estate Agents. He showed a genuine interest in our search and in us as a family, eventually finding us our perfect home which we are now living in! The bidding and buying process were second to none and the aftercare has been very helpful during the moving in process. 5 stars!... Read more
