Brilliant service, Paul constantly went that extra mile, chasing up to ensure that the procedure went as smoothly as possible. Highly recommended. Steve Tolman Ferndown 10/04/2025

Hive & Partners have been fantastic in managing a very tricky sale on my behalf, and I would highly recommend them. They really earned their commission, and Anji Hazell especially, consistently went above and beyond what was required in order to secure the sale. Thank you so much! Louise Craigen Ashley Heath 31/03/2025

Chanel, Matt and Robyne gave us excellent personal service, always available to answer any queries and kept us fully informed. Chanel and Robyne were tremendous support through very trying times near exchange and completion, as this was a very challenging time. We would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to move. Thanks so much. Michelle & Dave Fish Corfe Mullen 28/03/2025

Paul took on our property after we had a very disappointing experience with another agent. The team came in took some great photo's and drone footage of the property and got straight to work. We had several viewings which lead to the sale. Paul kept in contact and provided weekly updates on the number of hits the house was getting. If your thinking of selling give Hive a chance. Terry Pearcy Ashley Heath 27/03/2025

Fantastic! Chanel, Robyne and Matt were all really personable and attentive during what was inevitably a stressful period in our lives. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! Miles De Sa Parkstone 25/03/2025

Have to say the service was exceptional. A difficult sale made easy by Paul. He is friendly, helpful and highly professional. I cannot recommend Paul enough. If you want your house sold, you better phone Paul. Colin Webber Ferndown 23/03/2025

If you want a diligent and reliable estate agent in the Dorchester/Weymouth area, then James is your man! He is always available at the end of the phone if you have any queries, and he keeps you regularly updated throughout the sale of your home, through to exchange and completion. The initial feedback from viewings was received immediately, which was really helpful and he even gave guidance to inform our onward purchase. The best in the area if you want the focus to be on your property!Thanks again James Adam Wheelhouse Dorchester 09/03/2025

Robyne and Nicole were very efficient and professional from start to finish on my property purchase. I dealt with James up until the offer was accepted and he was absolutely amazing from when I met him until he handed me the keys. Words can not explain how understanding, how professional and how he looked after us until the end. I’ve dealt with plenty of sales people in my lifetime but James was a breath of fresh air. Ray Carroll Southampton 13/01/2025

Hive and Tracey in particular were absolutely brilliant, nothing was ever too much trouble, and they smoothed what was quite a difficult purchase really effectively. If Carlsberg did estate agents…. Pete Buckle Christchurch 20/12/2024

Anji came bursting through the door with energy, enthusiasm, and in difficult market conditions, she got us us a buyer!... We were tied to another agent, with no calls, no information... then Anji came in and wow! tornado! she gets things done, no problems. Totally refreshing... if there was a question, the reply would come quickly and be very truthful... the level of conversation was brilliant, she was always at the end of the phone. John Verwood 27/11/2024

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

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 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

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

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

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.
