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.
Mark truly helped us sell our house, both quickly and at asking price. He was proactively involved throughout the process. We really liked the idea of working with a “local & independent” estate agent, in our view offering a better service and comparatively at a very fair price. It soon became clear when seeking our next property through other estate agents that Mark was very well known and respected within the industry. Knowledgeable, great communications, empathy, focussed, highly professional and friendly were all key strengths.... Read more

I was recommended to Mark by a friend of mine, who is a former estate agent owner in Guildford. He thought Mark would give me a more personal service compared to other local agents. After meeting Mark and two other local estate agents, my mind was made up about Mark. I liked his approach, honesty and professionalism. Mark embarked on selling my lovely home and came up with an amazing brochure which definitely helped to sell my home. Mark secured a purchaser really quickly which was a cash buyer which was great. Mark kept me fully informed at every moment of the sales process and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Mark to sell your home and would also contact him about acquiring one. Well done Mark and thank you.... Read more

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.... Read more

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

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

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
