Fitzjohn Estates – a new company with experience

We may be biased, but we love living in Bedfordshire, which is why we have worked in this area for years.

It’s also why, in Spring 2023, we established our own agency – Fitzjohn Estates. We feel privileged to work in this fantastic county, with excellent schools, beautiful countryside, a vibrant culture, and great links to London. We could share with you our favourite pubs, dog walks, or places for shopping – but let’s do that in person.

Don’t just take our word for it

“From start to finish they made us feel like it wasn’t just about the £££ and selling our house…

Rob and Toby at Fitzjohn Estates are amazing. From the stunning photos by Beth at Beth Saunders Photography to the walk through videos for social media, they marketed the house beautifully.

An automated reminder system for viewings, regular update calls, feedback and market reports took the worry of out selling. Rob and Toby are very professional, utterly personable, forward thinking and driven to do a great job.

From start to finish they made us feel like it wasn’t just about the £££ and selling our house, they have been part of our journey, and that level of customer service is a very rare thing these days.

From under offer to exchange in FOUR WEEKS!!

Toby helped guide the conveyancing process, managed communication between solicitors and kept us in touch with our buyer.

A quarter of all property sales fall through in England. If more estate agents managed the process the way Fitzjohn Estates did, this statistic (and stress levels) would be drastically reduced.

“Overall, an incredible service from Rob and Toby…

If house buying/selling is considered one of the most stressful things we do in life, then Fitzjohn Estates might just be the antidote…

A highly personalised approach, developing a close and effective relationship. Regular but meaningful dialogue on progress throughout. Helpfully pushed solicitors – on both sides – ensuring the tight timescales were met.

Overall, an incredible service from Rob and Toby.

Fitzjohn Estates is the fresh and dynamic face of home buying and selling property in Bedfordshire.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Rob and Toby for their exceptional service throughout the sale of my property…

Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support made what was personally a stressful and emotional process far easier.

From the initial valuation to the final handover, Rob and Toby were always available to answer my questions, provide guidance, and address my concerns. Their communication was top-notch, ensuring I was kept informed every step of the way.

Their dedication and hard work were instrumental in securing a successful sale, and I would highly recommend Fitzjohn Estates to anyone in need of a first-class estate agent.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Rob and Toby were absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process for our sale…

Getting us a price we were happy with in a good time. We chose them over and above much more established and traditional agents with big names because we were so impressed with how keen they were, and their passion and enthusiasm and we didn’t regret it one bit! From the start of working with them, through to after the sale, when they continued to check in they could not have been more helpful, going way beyond the call of duty to help, offer advice and push things along to a successful sale. They are incredibly pleasant to work with, intelligent and just get on with it. Their communications are brilliant, have never worked with another estate agent like this honestly! Highly recommend.

“Toby and Rob were a dream team…

They stayed with us through an unsuccessful process on one house but quickly came back and found us a better home and took us through the whole process from beginning to end in expected time, ensuring we stayed informed of all milestones and developments throughout the chain. We would definitely recommend Fitzjohn and use them again ourselves if we ever required it. Happy to have a chat if anyone is considering them.

“If you want an estate agent that will go the extra mile…

and keep you informed regularly, be completely honest with you and make the entire process as smooth as possible then go with Fitzjohn Estates, they are simply better than any other estate agent in the area and we have used quite a few over the years. I couldn’t recommend Rob and Toby enough, just good guys that are doing their very best to buck the estate agent stereotype!! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again in the future.

“Professional yet human with humour, consideration and respect…

From the first meeting when we discussed marketing our property to the final moments of completion, as it happened, both on our sale and purchase, Rob and Toby were outstanding. Professional yet human with humour, consideration and respect.
They ensured we had the best experience within that which is renowned for being one of life’s most stressful and coped well with moments when we lost the plot! Thank you!
In short, highly, highly recommended!

“Rob and Toby are lovely men…

They are articulate, professional, efficient and extremely pleasant.
It feels like they literally hold your hand through the daunting process of house selling and appear to be available 24/7.
You would be a fool to sell your house with anyone else.

“They’re good guys and a fun team to work with, super-flexible and helpful…

Having just navigated what has felt like the longest home sale/move in history, just wanted to write a few words about Rob and Toby at Fitzjohn Estates – they were the third agents we worked with and we felt really brought a refreshing approach to selling our house – they’ve fully embraced the social media world (very few have), they’re experienced in the Home Counties agency scene so know the ropes, their advice is pretty straightforward and feels reassuring, they’re good guys and a fun team to work with, super-flexible and helpful, going out of their way to make you feel that progress is happening.

John | Pavenham

“Rob and Toby handled both our sale and purchase...

Throughout the whole process, they couldn’t have been more helpful and supportive. They are knowledgeable and approachable, and I think dealing with every aspect of the sale personally is a huge benefit to their clients. They are also both really nice guys!

“Excellent and personal service selling the best properties in the area…

We had worked with Rob previously and were delighted when he set up Fitzjohn Estates and we could ask him to find the perfect buyer for our house. Beth’s photography showed the rooms off beautifully and the social marketing was very effective. Five-star service that maximises the value of your house, we highly recommend.

Helen & Fred | Bedfordshire

“We have had an excellent experience with Fitzjohn’s Estates...

We finally moved to Harrold where I have always wanted to move to and Toby made it all possible. He was incredibly supportive and helped every step of the way. We are so grateful to them at such a stressful time!

Janey | Harrold

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“With genuine passion and enthusiasm, Rob and Toby provided an outstanding real estate experience for us…

Prioritising people, their friendly and humorous approach really made our house sale such an enjoyable process. As local experts, they demonstrated a realistic grasp of market prices, resulting in a super quick sale of our house. When it came to our purchase they were constantly keeping us in mind and recommending properties we might be interested in, finally finding us our new home. We highly recommend this dynamic duo for their expertise and professionalism in both selling and buying properties. They made what can seem like one of the most daunting experiences you can go through as a family feel really easy and manageable and that is something money truly can’t buy. A huge thanks to both Rob and Toby and we can’t wait to have you at our new home to celebrate (once our renovations are complete)!

Amy | Bedford

“Wanted to take a minute to recognise the exceptional service from Fitzjohn Estates…

We had almost given up on our property search, having had negative experiences with other agents, until we came across Rob and his team. They were attentive to our needs and were able to match us with a property that had exactly what we were looking for. The communications were extremely professional and reassuring, providing us with support throughout the process. The quality of service is a class above and if you are a prospective buyer make sure to check out their stunning Instagram account to get a flavour of the properties they list.

“I have nothing but praise for Fitzjohn Estates, who I found to be instantly trustworthy….

They have a great team who are more than happy to help with any matter. They were very invested in every stage of my purchase and were always prompt to respond to any query. There were a few occasions where they definitely went above and beyond expectation to help out, which I am incredibly grateful for. They come highly recommended.

James | Bedfordshire

“Robert, Toby and the Fitzjohn Estates team have been exceptional to deal with…

throughout the process of us buying our new home in Bedfordshire. From the first viewing until completion, they’ve been available at any point, helping to keep momentum and communication going across the chain. Lovely chaps to work with and clearly have a genuine passion to help people secure their dream properties (and they have plenty of those on the books) – thank you both!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Fitzjohn Estates were the third agents I used to sell my property and from start to finish they were a cut above the rest…

They deliver everything you want from an Estate agent but in my experience rarely get. The photos of the property were exceptional and showed the house off perfectly and the use of the drone gave some lovely aerial shots. Toby was excellent at continuously keeping me informed and chasing solicitors etc, which took away a lot of the stress. I would highly recommend Fitzjohn Estates 😊

Clare | Harrold

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Great Estate Agents to deal with, excellent communication…

Toby fills you with confidence throughout the whole process from start to finish. It’s great to deal with one person rather than dealing with different departments and different people. This ensured consistency with the purchase of our property. Would highly recommend these agents for selling or buying a property. Can’t thank them enough.

Tim & Sara | Bedford

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Highly recommended! Nothing but high praise for Rob and Toby and the way they handled the sale of my property…

After various failed attempts with other agents, Fitzjohn Estates sold the property quickly and for a better price than previous agents. Their local knowledge, experience and the marketing of the property really stood out against the others.

Mark | Bedford

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Rob and Toby are exceptional and bring a wealth of experience from their previous senior roles in a high street agency…

As an international estate agency trainer and estate agency awards panel judge, I have worked with thousands of estate agents. They may be the new guys on the block but Bedfordshire watch out! Rob and Toby are exceptional and bring a wealth of experience from their previous senior roles in a high street agency. But the outstanding elements are integrity, character, attention to detail and a passion for getting it right for the discerning individuals who have the good sense to engage their services, especially at the top of the market. If I were selling in their area I would use them without hesitation, as I know they have the skill and dedication it takes to do estate agency properly. Nice blokes too!
