Nancy Scollin and Raymond FosterI’M SO GLAD WE PICKED JIM PARKER AND HIS TEAM at Fife properties to sell our property. We chose him above the other agents despite the commission being slightly more as we felt we were able to CONTACT HIM ANYTIME EVEN OUT-WITH USUAL WORKING HOURS and somebody would be there to help and Jim’s enthusiasm gave us confidence that he would be PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS TO SELL. No query was too much bother and I felt advice given was delivered honestly from direct knowledge and experience. THE CONFIDENCE WAS NOT MISPLACED AS JIM SECURED AN OFFER HIGHER THAN EXPECTATION!

Amanda Quick5 ***** SERVICE. “STEPHEN AND I COULDN'T HAVE GOT THROUGH THE LAST THREE MONTHS WITHOUT FIFE PROPERTIES. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. We are glad we used Fife Properties who WENT BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY following a solicitor error which delayed our move. It was a stressful time for us selling two family homes to purchase one and become a bigger family but WE COULDN'T HAVE GOT THROUGH THIS WITHOUT THE ADVICE, HELP AND SUPPORT from Tina, Jodie, Angela and Jim Parker. Good Luck Fife Properties, a FANTASTIC TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS who go beyond the call of duty. Glenda Wardlaw and Stephen Wright. KENNOWAY and CRAIL. January 2018

Our estate agent ANGELA IS AN EXPERT IN HER FIELD, she really knows her industry. She guided me through the sales process from start to finish. When she viewed the house Angela advised me of any improvements that could be done to help the house sell. I was kept informed with all the stages of getting the house to market and how the process works. The house sold within 3 weeks.
I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ANGELA TO ANYONE LOOKING TO MOVE HOUSE. Five stars from me, highly recommended.” Dougie Kemp. LEVEN. January 2018
Dougie Kemp5 ***** SERVICE. “You will have heard it before; moving home is a stressful event. We were fortunate indeed to find Jim Parker. He was the first agent we approached and we saw no need to look any further; he ticked all the boxes.
The bottom line is that selling you house is a monetary transaction. JIM IS ALIVE TO THE PULSE OF THE HOUSING MARKET and his mission was to secure the best possible deal on our behalf – and he did. He made us fully realise our asset and the potential market. We were thrilled to ACHIEVE A PRICE BEYOND THE ONE WE HAD QUIETLY HOPED FOR.
What you get from Jim is a personal service. He takes time with you and is alive to your individual circumstances and is focused on your house sale being a positive experience. He is dedicated to his work to which he brings the boundless energy and enthusiasm you would expect from someone who climbs Everest in his spare time. JIM IS CLEARLY A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT providing a reassuring overview throughout the process and answering your most naïve questions and making himself available to you over holidays and weekends.
Combine this with Jim’s charismatic personality and you have a STAR.” Evelyn Williams. ANSTRUTHER. December 2017

Claire Allan“I'm glad to help as you have done such a great job for us. I WOULD RECOMMEND FIFE PROPERTIES to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in the area. The work carried out is VERY PROFESSIONAL and your clients are KEPT INFORMED every step of the way. We also FELT THAT WE WERE IMPORTANT to your company, not just a job for you but a PASSION to do the best for your clients. We wish you good luck for the future of your company as well as for yourself. It has been a pleasure working with you and we look forward to seeing you when we hand in the keys at the end of next month.” Helena Pringle. LOWER LARGO. April 2017
Helena Pringle“We were VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE INITIAL ADVICE from Angela. She WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL to say the least. I would also like to COMMEND JIM ON HIS NEGOTIATING SKILLS in securing for us the price that we were willing to accept. WE DO NOT THINK THAT WE WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED THAT HIGH FIGURE FROM ANOTHER AGENT. From our first contact at Leven branch to handing over the keys everyone was very intuitive and friendly. To be honest I could not think of any way their service could be improved. I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION IN RECOMMENDING FIFE PROPERTIES.” David McCathie, LUNDIN LINKS. March 2017
David McCathie"I am PLEASED that my house has sold with Fife Properties. Andrea in the office has been the most HELPFUL, PROFESSIONAL INFLUENCE in a very fraught year and REPEATEDLY GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND her role. By this I mean she has carried out viewings for me at weekends, updated me with EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION, and clearly has a GREAT APTITUDE to gauge her interaction with clients appropriately. If you don't have an employee of the month, do a one off and make her the one for this month, or recognise her GREAT SERVICE to the company with a token of appreciation" Judith Simpson, DEN OF LINDORES. March 2017
Judith Simpson"I chose Fife properties to sell my home as I have KNOWN JIM FOR SEVERAL YEARS and have always been IMPRESSED WITH HIS INTEGRITY. He is a man who has HIGH PRINCIPLES and is always fair in his analysis of situations. He is HONEST AND TRUTHFUL even to the extent that he would rather lose business than be dishonest to gain business by bending the truth. His PASSION for getting the BEST FOR ME AS HIS CUSTOMER is very evident. He invested time in marketing to ENSURE THEY GOT THE BEST PRICE. Jim also accompanied potential buyers around the property TAKING THE STRESS AWAY FROM ME, he talks ENTHUSIASTICALLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE about the property." Gill Campbell LEVEN. February 2017
Gill CampbellI“Fife Properties were ENTHUSIASTIC and OFFERED GOOD ADVICE, PROMPT SERVICE and KEPT IN TOUCH THROUGHOUT. This company MADE HOUSE SELLING STRAIGHTFORWARD and I WOULD RECOMMEND to anyone thinking of selling to get in touch with Fife Properties” Rachel Thornhill, ST MICHAELS, ST ANDREWS. February 2017
Rachel Thornhill"If you're selling your house in St Andrews you can't do better than Jim Parker. I sold my house through Jim and his team and it was the BEST DECISION I MADE. Not only did he sell my house successfully, but his ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND PROFESSIONALISM meant the sale was SMOOTH AND PAINLESS PROCESS. He ensured I was regularly kept up to date on the progress; from getting the best company to do the surveyors report to the lawyer who concluded the actual sale. Throughout the whole process I FELT INFORMED and confident that everything that needed to be done was being taken care of, leaving to get on with my life. I am HAPPY AND CONFIDENT to give Jim Parker my STRONGEST COMMENDATION. He has EXPERIENCE AND PROFESSIONALISM that SURPASSES ANYONE ELSE I have come across in house sales. If you're thinking of selling your house try Jim first, you won't be disappointed. Rev Rob Sharp." LEVEN. February 2017
REV Rob Sharp"If you are thinking about selling your home and you are not sure which agent to use I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND JIM PARKER -Fife Properties. I had thought of using the local solicitors who appear to dominate the St Andrews market but on further investigation I found if it was just a property listing and a sign in the garden I required they would have been the way to go but if you WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE MARKET EXTREMELY WELL, IS DILIGENT, RESPONSIVE, PROFESSIONAL, PERSONABLE and is a GREAT NEGOTIATOR in getting the best price then Jim @ Fife Properties would definitely be my recommendation."
