Client Comments
In all honesty the quality of service provided by Robert Macduff-Duncan was outstanding. The selling of my home and the purchase of my new property was stress free. Robert was friendly, approachable and easy to deal with. I was kept fully informed at every stage and each step in the process was explained in a way that was easy to understand. I was recommended to Kippen Campbell and I would now do likewise.
