Was great he done fab
I would recommend Kai to anyone that’s selling a property
Wel manered wel dressed
Was such a lovely chap to deal with
As you can imagine, it’s definitely a stressful time indeed.
After having a visit from Graham Le Mar to my house for evaluation, and going through all my anxiety’s about how to approach the market - Graham put my anxiety's to rest.
I can say that the overall experience with KnightBain was excellent & handled professionally with Gragam.
I would definitely recommend a chat with him ☑️👍
One thing that stood out early on was his approach to valuation. Kai gave me an honest, realistic figure rather than inflating it to win my business, which I later learned is a tactic some agents use. It might sound appealing at first, but overpriced homes sit on the market and that serves nobody. His integrity there set the tone for everything that followed.
Viewings were handled brilliantly. Every single request was accommodated without hesitation, and Kai was always there early. He was friendly and patient throughout, and noticeably spent more time listening to us than talking at us, which is rarer than it should be.
He was also consistently professional in how he spoke about other agents and agencies, never a bad word, which I found quietly impressive.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. Texts and calls were always answered quickly, and Kai kept me informed at every stage without me having to chase.
The result spoke for itself: an excellent offer secured, and a process that felt far less stressful than I had anticipated. I would not hesitate to recommend Kai.
A huge thank you to Kai for his professionalism, excellent communication, knowledge, and support throughout the entire process. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Kai made everything feel much smoother and kept us informed every step of the way.
He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely excellent at what he does. His dedication, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring manner truly stood out, and thanks to his hard work we successfully sold our home.
I would highly recommend Kai to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. He is a true professional and a real credit to KnightBain.
Thank you again for everything.
