I can talk about our work for days, but really what you need to know about both Sam and me will come from our previous clients.
We have been blessed to have worked with such great people over the years! Most of these recommendations can be cross-referenced with my LinkedIn profile (some come in via email)…rest assured they are all genuine and untampered!
"I recommend Nony Kerr-Smiley as an estate agent who sold my mother's property in a timely and professional manner. Nony was able to liaise between me and my brother, who lives in Scotland, and keep us both engaged and updated throughout the process. She was friendly, courteous, and respectful of our situation. She demonstrated a thorough understanding of the market, the potential buyers, and the legal procedures involved in selling a property. She also gave us valuable advice on how to present the property and price it. She was a perfectionist with the photos and the online listing, making sure that the property looked its best and attracted the most interest. She was always available to answer our questions, address our concerns, and provide feedback.
Nony made the whole experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for us.
We would highly recommend Nony Kerr-Smiley to anyone who is looking for an estate agent who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional."

Mr G WWinchester, 2023
"A developer friend who had bought and sold his houses through Nony recommended her, but I chose an agent with offices in the high street, in London and abroad who told me that he could get a higher price for my house, as I thought that he would have further reach. However, despite a price reduction the house didn’t sell in 3 months, after which I withdrew it from the market and asked Nony to relaunch it. She and Sam produced excellent marketing materials – much better than the high street agent’s – but they weren’t needed because she found a buyer straight away.
I’m delighted to say that things have proceeded smoothly to Exchange under Nony’s guidance. She has been very supportive throughout, and she’s been available to help and advise at all stages. I very much felt that she was on my side and that she knew all about what was going on – unlike the high street agent, where it was hard to talk to someone who understood the whole picture. I got the impression that the high street agents treat this as a job, whereas Nony and Sam think of it as their life’s work and immerse themselves in it completely – even to the extent of talking to me on the way to their daughter’s wedding.
Prices fell significantly during the time my house was on the market, and I feel that if I’d asked Nony and Sam to market it from the outset I would have received more for it. I’m very glad that I eventually switched to them."

"I don't believe that any estate agents, other than Nony and Sam, could have given us the first class attention that we received throughout the process of selling our house and purchasing the one we had our hearts set on.
If you want to be able to contact your agent at any time, not just office hours, and receive really personalised care, then I would highly recommend Nony and Sam. Whether it be via email, text, WhatsApp or a phone call, Sam and Nony are always very prompt at answering any queries and concerns about the whole process. Very knowledgeable about the area and the business, their passion for selling properties and helping with the purchase of others is unquestionable. I truly believe we would not have purchased our property if we had not had Nony and Sam as our estate agents."

"I really want to express my gratitude to Nony and Sam for their excellent service.
There are a lot of estate agents to choose from in Winchester all vying for our business, so how to choose was a dilemma for me. In my career I had been involved in setting estate agency standards so ethics were important to me. I also know that those giving the highest ‘valuation’ or offering the lowest fees are mostly to be avoided. Also target driven chains don’t often offer the best service. I therefore asked my estate agent son who had previously worked in Winchester, but had moved away, who he would suggest. Without hesitation he said Nony.
I was surprised as she has a relatively low profile. He said don’t worry about that, she is big online. Plus most importantly, from what he has seen on Rightmove she converted more of her instructions into sales than the others did and priced properties realistically.
I therefore took my son’s advice and called Nony. She and Sam visited me and discussed an asking price. I knew roughly what I thought the house was worth. She came up with lots of local comparable sales evidence which showed we were in both of the same opinion and agreed a sale price. I thought her commission was a little higher than other reputable agents but I know that if you save a bit on commission you can then end up dropping your price by a lot more if it is badly marketed or overpriced.
At that time we were in the usual summer lull in the market, but with interest rates rising i didn’t want to wait and see what the market was doing and miss out.
From the moment I instructed Nony, it was a real personal service. Nony and Sam spent a whole morning with a professional photographer ensuring the photographs were perfect and from the most flattering angles. No lifted loo seats or inadvertent clutter. I hardly recognised the place.
When the house went on the market there were only a handful of viewings, but they were all ‘hot to trot’ and in fact the first person to view bought the house at the asking price. Once agreed, any pre contract issues were quickly dealt with by Nony and nothing was taken for granted. On moving day, she was there offering her support as I moved out and to greet the new owners and hand over the keys.
I have to admit that I have moved house many times in my life but this was one of the swiftest and certainly the least stressful that I can remember. "

Mrs G.HHyde Street, 2023
"Having worked with Nony & Sam before, we knew who we needed to call upon when selling our property. They both took the time to really understand and appreciate our current situation and the positive aspects of the property, which were expertly translated into a very attractive listing and set of photos.
The personal touch, attention to detail, great communication, integrity and unabating enthusiasm for doing the right thing is unsurpassed and is such a breath of fresh air when compared to the competition.
Thank you Nony & Sam for a great sale!"

Mr & Mrs GHigh Street, Twyford, 2023
First and foremost, we chose Nony to sell our home based on her long-standing local reputation for sales progression - not only securing an offer but driving the deal through to completion. Secondly, we have very busy lives and wanted an agent who was responsive, pro-active and accommodating. In business we also like to deal with real people who want to build a relationship, in preference to automated telephone systems and impersonal admin teams. We were not disappointed.
Throughout the whole experience, Nony and Sam were always one step ahead of the process, ready and willing to provide advice and support on every aspect of the sale. This extended to the most practical of matters, including raking gravel and moving bins on the day of the photographs! They are not scared to get their hands dirty and really are there to field queries seven days a week.
We are delighted we chose Nony and are very happy to recommend her service to anyone who is looking for a client-focussed agent with the experience to secure sales in an uncertain market."

“We have found Nony & Sam to be very efficient, friendly, honest, sensitive, supportive and realistic in their work for us in selling our home. Nony is a practical problem solver who is both astute and enabling, always able to offer sound and practical advice. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we can highly recommend them.”
Mr J W (OBE) & Mrs M WBridge Lane, 2023
After eight months advertising with a high street estate agent, in which two unsuccessful house sales fell through, I decided to market my home with Nony and Sam. From the moment I made the first phone call to the final closure of my front door on completion day the whole process was surprisingly enjoyable!
Nony and Sam are refreshing. They are honest, reliable, trustworthy and fun, the sale is managed entirely by them and not delegated to a mix or personnel. The brochures produced are very professional and they are easily contactable, responding within an hour or at the very least, the same day, Sundays too.
If I ever move again, I will 100%, without a doubt, advertise with Nony and Sam.
Thank you guys, you were brilliant :-))

Ms T CSt Faiths Road, 2023
Nony and Sam were terrific and made the sale of my house as stress-free as could be possible. They were friendly, honest and always had time. They understood the current changing market and gave sound and reasoned advice based upon their extensive experience - always delivered in a very personal and reassuring manner.
Just as crucial, they were always dependable and tenacious. And their communication was first class, ensuring that I was kept fully appraised of developments. The proof of the pudding was in the eating: my house sold quickly in an uncertain and challenging market.

Mr E WOld Hillside Road, 2023
In the world of Estate agents, you displayed a level of expert knowledge, professionalism and integrity far above that which we have encountered in previous purchases. The way you handled the issues and kept the transaction alive for both us and the vendors was something I doubt few others would have been able to achieve.
Mr C CKings Avenue, 2023
Good news that the flat sale has been agreed and thank you for your very attentive service in making this happen without a hitch.
Dr N C, Winchester, February 2023
Dr N CBereweeke Road, 2023
Nony is extremely communicative and always available (when I contact her she responds straight away). I highly recommend Nony
and working with her has made the whole process much easier.
Thank you so much!
We were continually kept current with progress and she was very effective in coordinating between legal and finance providers to keep the pace required up to Completion.
We highly recommend Nony and her team and will certainly use her services again in the future.

Mr B C & Ms Z HTwyford, 2023
Sam and Nony have been a pleasure to work with- as first time buyers their wealth of experience and local knowledge of the Winchester property market was invaluable in navigating us along our journey to find our dream first home. Nony in particular was extremely personable and responsive to any queries we had ensuring the process from offer to completion ran as smoothly as we could have hoped for, allowing for the odd unforeseen hiccup along the way!
Dr Z S and Ms S BMarnhull Rise, 2023
This is not the first time we have used Nony Kerr-Smiley and her excellent team, and once again we have been totally impressed. Nony's focus on delivery is exemplary. The quality of sales particulars and the thought given to ensuring great photographs help ensure the property is marketed to the highest standard. Nony's attention to all details and constant professional engagement ensures that all stages of the process are monitored, chased and delivered. If you are buying or selling property the one person and company you should be dealing with is Nony Kerr-Smiley.
Mr and Mrs R WAustin Drive, 2023
From the outset Nony and Sam impressed me with their personal and detailed approach.
At the initial meeting it was immediately evident that they had gone way beyond other agents I was considering. They arrived armed with an incredible amount of relevant research that had clearly required significant thought and preparation.
I was selling a large house and was a little apprehensive about not going with a big national name. My doubt was proven to be totally unfounded. In fact I now think the opposite. The personal touch made the deal happen.
While selling my property I was looking at a house to purchase. I found it so frustrating to never know who you were dealing with from one day to the next. Different people for viewings, follow up calls after viewings, another for financial checks and to try and sell you their mortgage product, and yet another (or two) for sale progression. I am confident that I wouldn’t have pulled out of one purchase had I had a “Nony” selling me the house and alleviating my concerns.
Nony and Sam were not only always available for viewings but they were also available at any time for queries. As a busy person myself it was often not until the early evening (and sometimes not so early!) or at weekends that I had time to think about my queries or concerns. Nony was always quick to respond to my phone call, message or email.
I sold at a very uncertain time in the market which became more concerning just before exchange thanks to the Truss/ Kwarteng “mini budget” fiasco. Nony handled this challenging situation with confidence, positivity and a huge amount of reassurance.
Their responsiveness, knowledge of the market, tenacity and accessibility were second to none I have experienced.
I would, without hesitation, use Nony for my next sale and have already recommended her to several friends.

Mrs H NSleepers Hill, 2023
There are many estate agents in Winchester so when I decided to move house to be nearer family it was hard to know where to start. A friend who was also moving strongly recommended Nony. I looked at her website and liked her personalised approach in which she herself would see the sale through from start to finish. She arranged everything from high quality photography to introducing a buyer, negotiations and exchange, guiding me successfully through an unexpectedly complex sale.
Nony was always available at the shortest of notice. Her years of experience and sheer professionalism are evident. Coupled with a refreshing, understanding attitude in which nothing was too much trouble, Nony made one of life’s more stressful experiences manageable. I am deeply indebted to her and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Happy new year Sam, Nony and Ellie. You are a wonderful team and all the very best for 2023.
I would never go to another estate agent again in Winchester after you successfully sold our home last year. Your commitment and understanding of the market is unparalleled.

Mr and Mrs L SKeats Close, 2023
"If you want to sell your home in or around Winchester, you need to start by calling Nony and Sam. They will be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, supportive and honest. There is no problem they have not seen and know how to (or who can) fix it. They are scrupulously fair and get houses sold with minimum fuss and bother. You will be kept informed and entertained with lovely messages throughout the process. Head and shoulders above all other estate agents I have dealt with in 25 years of buying and selling homes"
Mrs E B-DSt Cross, Winchester, 2023
"Nony is a superstar who has helped us through the highs, lows and speed bumps of selling our house. A positive can do attitude mixed in with a sprinkle of realism and bags full of know-how. Communication (frequent and clear!) is key and Nony had been there for us day and night (and evening and weekend…) to get the sale over the line. Her recommendation for solicitor was amazing too… a solicitor who gets back to you quickly, is on the ball and has a sense of humour too."
Mr & Mrs CCrouchers Croft, Teg Down, 2023
“Nony and Sam play many leagues ahead of your average high street estate agent. Their stature and wealth of experience within the industry gives them a penetrating knowledge of the Winchester housing market, and they know exactly how to push the right buttons in the right places to make your sale a success from beginning to end.
Nony and Sam pride themselves on an impeccably high standard of client service: they will keep you informed at every step of the way and leave no stone unturned. Not only do they know about houses, but they also understand and care about the people in them: in our particular chain, we found ourselves entwined in a rather tricky situation that required careful handling of the parties involved, but with exactly the right blend of doggedness, empathy and ingenuity, Nony and Sam were able to see everything deftly through to completion in the most professional and pragmatic way possible.
For me, Nony and Sam are the poster children of top-quality bespoke estate agency, and I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.”

"As soon as we met Nony and her husband, Sam, we were immediately put at ease. They made us feel like we were old friends and could talk to them about any problem or concern without hesitation.
This continued all through the buying process, where they provided regular progress reports and updated us on any developments. I couldn't recommend them enough!
If you have any preconceptions about estate agents, discard them! Nony and Sam provided a fantastic experience where nothing was too much trouble. They also happen to be the nicest and genuine people you could hope to meet!"

Mr & Mrs PJetsy Road, Alresford, 2023
"Thanks to both Nony, Sam & their fabulous photographer for selling my house.
When asked to achieve £500k for a Stanmore property Nony said it would be a tough call & require us to 'break the record'. However the house was embraced by them & sold not once, but twice over, without hardly being marketed, simply on the back of the strong contacts that this couple have within the business & beyond.
Their connections in the hinterland of property extends far & their knowledge & research allowed me to chase a previously unlodged final planning approval with the City Council, saving both time & embarrassment further down the line. When the buyer was unable to progress the sale, another was found within a week & the full asking price achieved for a second time.
When the process of selling had hit something of an impasse, it was Nony who intervened to address my own & the buyers concerns to get the ball rolling once more. Nony & Sam took the initiative to visit, in person, to verify a condition of sale had been met, which hastened completion.
Even after the sale, their service is considerate & thorough. There is a proper understanding of the emotional connections that both buyers & sellers may have with the properties that are exchanging ownership. There is respect for confidentiality but important information is shared & we felt better informed about progress by our agents than our solicitors. This professional couple work tirelessly, 7 days a week in order to get the job done. I would highly recommend Nony, Sam & their team."

"I both sold and bought through Nony and Sam. They worked tirelessly to make sure it all ran as smoothly as possible and were always available when needed. The personal touch they give to their business is a much appreciated extra that isn’t found in the average high street estate agent. I would definitely recommend them to anyone contemplating a move."
Mrs D E-DParliament Place, 2023
"Nony and Sam have been a pleasure to work with, they are personable and available when other estate agents aren't. It makes such a difference to be able to talk to someone who really knows what property is worth and doesn't play the over pricing game that most other estate agents do.
I've already recommended them to people I know who are moving and would definitely use them again."

If you want an agent who knows the Winchester market inside out, then Nony is for you. She kept us well updated throughout the process, has been readily available to answer any questions (regardless of time of day / weekends) and has helped to make the process as smooth as possible. She’s provided useful counsel on our onward purchase as well. The pictures and marketing materials generated also made our home look like a magazine!
Mrs A AGreenhill Road, 2023

5 stars from us!!

Mr E P-G & Ms E WCanon Street, 2023
Thank you Nony for selling mum's house. Having sold so many houses in the village when I was an estate agent, it made an already tough decision harder, to decide who to entrust the sale to. I recalled from our time working together, and after you'd moved to the competition, your commitment to your vendors always meant you outsold anyone else around you, so in the end, it was an easier decision that I initially thought!
The chain wasn't without its hiccups and when some people within the chain seemed content to let things drift along, you and Ellie helped keep us up to date the information that was made available!
In the end, you delivered exactly what you said you would, from the presentation of the house, the right price being achieved and steady advice throughout. Thank you Nony.

Mr C PStavedown Road, 2023
At the point we were selling our property at the end of 2022, the market was in turmoil and Nony and Sam provided a safe pair of hands to guide us through the sale. They took personal responsibility for each stage of the process, from overseeing the photography to leading the house viewings and kept us extremely well updated throughout. We were in no doubt that they would do everything within their power to ensure a successful completion.
Wishing you all the best for the future.

Selling up and moving home after nearly three decades was a truly daunting prospect.

Nony was absolutely fantastic to work with. throughout the entire process. We managed to exchange and complete in just over a month and throughout the entire process was available at all hours (literally 24/7). Nony had immediate solutions and answers to all of my questions and even provided us with excellent solicitors who worked efficiently throughout.
Even after completion Nony sent us a beautiful video message. I couldn’t recommend Nony more as she is absolutely brilliant."

Mr Z BAustin Drive, 2023
I first met Nony several years ago when she was working for a local estate agent and was involved in the buying or selling of my daughters’ properties. I was impressed then by her professionalism and enthusiasm for the job.
When we decided to sell our own property last year and were looking for an estate agent, we discovered that Nony had set up as a freelance agent with her husband Sam. We met with them and immediately knew that they were the ones for us. Their personal involvement every step of the way and their care and attention to detail was very important to us. Deciding to go with Nony and Sam was the best decision we made. The way they marketed the property was superb and achieved several offers at the top end of their valuation.
They gave us their support throughout the whole process and worked tirelessly to keep things running smoothly for us.
We are very grateful to them for easing the path through what can be an extremely stressful time.
We thoroughly recommend them.
When we decided to sell our own property last year and were looking for an estate agent, we discovered that Nony had set up as a freelance agent with her husband Sam. We met with them and immediately knew that they were the ones for us. Their personal involvement every step of the way and their care and attention to detail was very important to us.

Mr and Mrs JMAndover Rd, 2023
Thank you so much for looking after our parents’ home and selling it for us. You kept us informed at all times and were completely transparent with all the information you gave us. Your response to any questions was usually by return - even late at night! Your advice for getting the house ready for marketing was spot-on and it gave us the confidence that you certainly do know your market and business very well. You went beyond your role by delving down the chain to try and expedite any hitches elsewhere.
Overall thank you very much for your attention and looking after us all so well.
Mr A JAlresford, 2023
Would highly recommend Nony and Sam, they really have gone above and beyond to help us sell our house and even found our new house for us having just been instructed on that sale on the day our original purchase fell through.
From the moment we met them they have been on hand to offer advice and guidance through the whole process and really got involved to move the legal process along quickly.
They provide a really personal service; helping with the brochure photos and staging (much needed with a young baby!), showing up to do the viewings themselves, always responding quickly to messages and calls and handing over the keys in person at completion.
Would recommend to anyone

Mr M P and Mrs H WMonmouth Place, 2023
Thanks Nony & Sam for all you did for us to help us buy our 'forever' home. You took on board our difficult circumstances from the outset and often went above and beyond to keep the sale on track.
We've moved house several times so dealing with an estate agent that genuinely seemed interested in 'us' and not just the sale was a surprising and pleasant change (and 'pleasant' is not a word you usually associate with the property market!)
Mr and Mrs P HAlresford, 2023
Choosing to sell our house with Nony and Sam was one of the best decisions we’ve made in our house move process. After initially wondering whether to go with a high street agent, Nony assured us that their service would provide a much more personal approach that would help us throughout what can be a very stressful time. The support we received was exactly that. For any queries or concerns we had, Nony was instantly on the other end of the phone, and always had our best interests at heart. We have just exchanged having achieved what we feel is an excellent price for our house in the current market, and I truly don’t believe we would have achieved that with the other agents we spoke to. We can’t recommend Nony and her team enough!
Mr and Mrs FKings Avenue, 2023
Nony and Sam acted for us selling our house last year and I cannot recommend them enough. The level of service you receive from them both is exceptional; I am not sure where you could find the same from another estate agent. You are dealing with them and only them from start to finish, they are present to ensure the photos are perfect, you are consulted on the sale brochure, they make sure they gain a full knowledge of the house from you and they personally conduct all the viewings.
The offer process was expertly handled and I am certain that they achieved the absolute best price that we could have for our house, within days of listing. They have a deep knowledge of the market from many years experience and were always at the end of the phone, willing to go above and beyond with their advice. I was even able to ask for their opinion on elements of our onwards purchase, and nothing was too much trouble.
Their enthusiasm and enjoyment of their job comes through and it made what could have been a stressful experience a pleasure. Thank you Nony and Sam!

Mrs F MSt Faiths Road, 2023
As a property business who sell a large number of houses across the UK, we deal with many different independent Estate Agents
up and down the country.
Nony and her team at Martin & Co in Winchester have provided an excellent service throughout. From initially valuing the property,
conducting viewings and securing our buyer, Nony has been integral in getting the sale to point of exchange and completion. She
maintained vital communication between buyer and solicitor and when faced with challenging re-negotiations, she fought our corner
to secure a good result.
We would not hesitate in using Nony and her team again and highly recommend their services.
Stephen Shaw - The PX Group Bath Place, 2022
We engaged Nony and Sam to market our cottage as rather reluctant downsizers. We knew they were both experienced professionals who would get the job done but we soon realised we had found two people who genuinely cared about their clients, getting a sale quickly and taking it to exchange as painlessly as possible.
When the deal was beset with a serious of complications Nony became a ‘warrior’ on our behalf and she appeared to single-handedly manage a really tricky chain. Nony was always available and through her network of local contacts she found solutions to all our problems - we don’t know how we are going to cope without her!
Mr and Mrs W-AOld Alresford, 2022
I would recommend Nony and Sam without hesitation to anyone selling their property. I would also recommend them if you end up dealing with them as buyers!
We were buyers and encountered a series of unpleasant surprises in the chain below us, which seemed to get more disastrous at every turn. Nony is a determined, tenacious, loyal, warm and no-nonsense person, who will do all it takes for her clients, and in this case it meant taking their buyers (us) very firmly by the hand and navigating them through a stressful process to get to the finish line.
She worked tirelessly, leaping back and forth across the whole chain when needed (which seemed to be all the time) and when we finally got to exchange, which at the eleventh hour became very precarious, she literally saved the day, both for us and her clients.
It is thanks to her that we are now, finally, in the family home of our dreams; I never want to move again, but if I do, I will call Nony and Sam, and no one else.
Mrs J WOld Alresford, 2022
Nony is completely brilliant. It's like having the most loyal, hardworking friend on earth who just happens to live, breathe and dream property take you by the hand and take (most of) the stress out of the process. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough.
Mrs CSt Cross, 2022
Having bought and sold many houses over the years I can confidently say Nony and Sam go above and beyond as estate agents. They really do know how to match the right buyers to houses. The personal service provides great continuity and ensured a smooth process right through to completion.
Dr L NTeg Down Meads, 2022
Nony and Sam have been such a reassuring presence for us as second time buyers. Nothing has been too much trouble and they have fielded all of our questions and queries with good humour and a detailed understanding of the purchase process. A short conversation with either reveals that they both have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Winchester property market - something which really sets them apart from other High Street agents and helps make one of life’s most stressful experiences feel relatively calm and controlled.
Ms L CTeg Down Meads, 2022
Nony acted on the sale of our property at Beaumond Green, she did a great job, and focuses on the needs of her client. Nony takes pride in her work and brings integrity, professionalism and energy to her role. Nony’s experience means that she knows the market so gives excellent advice on valuations and trends. She knows the sales process so can help ensure that you get to completion with the minimum of drama.
I have no hesitation in recommending Nony.
Mr M GBeaumond Green, 2022
As we were about to go on holiday, Nony persuaded us to market our house just before leaving so that she could show people around whilst we were away. And so our house went on the market on a Monday.
That Thursday, whilst we were flying from Gatwick to Tenerife, Nony showed seven clients around our house.
On the Friday we got two offers above asking price.
On Saturday we accepted one of the offers.
For the next three months Nony chased everyone involved, often on a daily basis, until finally we exchanged contracts. What would we have done without her?.
All I can say to everyone who reads this is “Never move house without a Nony!”
Mr and Mrs C-DChalk Ridge, 2022
Nony’s reputation preceded her so I had high expectations already… and now based on my personal experience, I would be so pleased to recommend Nony myself. Nony has such sound knowledge of the local area and the market in general. She was incredibly professional, always just at the end of the phone to answer questions and provide updates, and so personable. The whole purchase was made simple and straightforward. Thank you Nony.
Ms V HStockbridge Road, 2022
When we decided to divest one of our key assets in #Winchester, there was no hesitation in calling Nony Kerr-Smiley. From the word go, the service has been personal, professional and unflappable, even when it became complicated. Nony told us exactly what was going to happen and delivered to the letter. We could not be more pleased with the outcome, nor can we recommend Nony enough!
Mr J C and L WStockbridge Road, 2022
We can highly recommend Nony and Sam Kerr-Smiley for your property sale. Our experience of the process from start to finish was one of ease, efficiency, and friendliness.
Ms C L and M RVale Road, 2022
As first time buyers, Nony has guided us through the whole process with an experienced, yet personal approach. She has helped the whole process run very smoothly and we couldn’t have asked for any more! Thank you!
Dr H B and Mr G GVale Road, 2022
I first met Nony nearly 20 years ago when my ex-husband and I were looking for a house to buy in Winchester. She made a big impression on me then and when the time came to sell our house in 2017 the firm that Nony was working for at the time was first on our list. Five years later I found myself in need of an estate agent again when I put my own house on the market and I knew that there really was only one choice. Nony got the job and I can't praise her highly enough for her professionalism, tenacity and extraordinary client care, far in excess of anything I've ever experienced when dealing with estate agents in the past. Nony told me that one client described her as a warrior and I'd second that without hesitation. Nony is one of a kind and, quite simply, you won't find anyone better in Winchester to sell your house for you.
Ms C BSt Stephens Road, 2022
Now that we are at the end of a very long house selling/buying tunnel, we wanted to say a huge thank you to you both.
From the very first you listened to us and the two people you sent for viewings both made offers.
Brilliant result, as other estate agents, had sent several viewers and no offers!
As you know, we were part of a very long chain but you were constantly in touch with the solicitors and other estate agents and kept us well informed. So glad you were on our side! We really wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to others. Thank you both again for all your hard work on our behalf.

Mr and Mrs T HButtermere Garderns, Alresford, 2022
We were first made aware of Nony and Sam via a leaflet drop. Having looked at their Testimonials we realised that this was the sort of service we were looking for. Not only did they provide a first class service but they also made great recommendations about other essential services such as solicitors and removal companies.
Although we had the particulars and property photos taken in the February we did not go to the market until the July. At no point were we pressurised to sell. At all times communication with Nony and Sam were excellent and you really felt that you were given a personal service.
Nony used her extensive knowledge of the Winchester market to get a good price for our house. Our selling and buying processes were, as is often the case, not straight forward but we were given good advice and in the end the process only took ten weeks! I can thoroughly recommend their services.
Mr and Mrs R CEdgar Road, 2022
I got chatting to Nony one day last November when she was selling my neighbour’s house. Within five days she had sold mine too, for an excellent price. We weren’t even on the market but when I told her we were hoping to sell soon she was ready to strike while the iron was hot. Her bulging contacts book and can-do attitude worked wonders.
Nony and Sam made the whole process as stress free as it could possibly be. Their energy and commitment to personal, friendly and super-efficient service are second to none.
Mr and Mrs J WHyde Abbey Road, 2022
Nony and Sam rescued me from an incredibly stressful situation. My house in central Winchester had been marketed by one of the national agents for over 2 months with few viewings and no offers, even though they had assured me that the market was buoyant. In desperation, I contacted Nony and Sam on the basis of a leaflet dropped through my door, and I have never looked back!
They redid all the photos to a far higher standard, tweaked the asking price, and within days I had two buyers bidding against each other! We have now exchanged contracts, and Nony has been with me and my buyers throughout the process, checking in very regularly, chasing solicitors, and sorting any problems immediately, including putting me in touch with a wonderful, family-run local removals firm.
I have bought and sold many properties in my life, and I have never before come across an estate agent offering such a cheerful, dedicated and responsive personal service, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Having experienced what Nony and Sam have to offer, I will never, ever go near a generic high street agent again!
Dr V MHyde Abbey Road, 2022
One of a kind....and you'll be in the safest hands! Met Nony recently, who apart from being an amazing personality is also completely switched on in regards EVERYTHING property-wise. Nony has 'looked after' many friends and contacts in the area, and the reports are always similar in that she always delivers, works very neutrally and provides advice you need and want to hear! She's a hand holder and you won't want to let go. She is very much a doer....and lives and breathes, selflessly, the property market. A credit to her profession.
Mr G GAbbotts Barton, 2022
From the start, Nony had empathy and gave the process of buying and selling a home the importance it deserves. For this is not any transaction to the sellers, it is your nest! Even though, Nony provides the personal touch and truly cares about you and your home. She is professional to the core, stops at nothing to get everything finalised and the deal sealed, regularly going above and beyond.
The access to her, and not being passed on to somebody else, provides reassurance and continuity in a time when everything around is changing. She made what can be a fraught and difficult process less painful, and took a lot of the stress out of it. For me, this was priceless.
Mrs E MSt Faiths Road, 2022
Nony and Sam handled the sale of our house so swiftly and efficiently. From our very first meeting we were impressed with their consistent professionalism, charm and warmth. Every possible and/or potential hitch was anticipated and dealt with and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Looking back I really think they went above and beyond - something other people who have benefitted from their service also marvel at - and quite frankly I would never move house without them again.
Mr and Mrs BChalk Ridge, 2022
Nony and Sam provide a house selling service better than any I have ever experienced. They are a breath of fresh air!
They have years of knowledge individually in estate agency and have now very perceptively combined the best features and practices into a truly comprehensive range of advice and support. This is coupled with a highly personal and enthusiastic attitude, with excellent communications and hand holding throughout what is usually a most stressful process for the home owner.
They know the local market intimately, the particulars they produce are first class and attention grabbing, and their management of viewings and feedback is exemplary. They are straightforward and direct in their dealings and diplomatic where required. You feel they are completely dedicated to finding the best qualified buyer for your home and work 24/7 to that end.
It doesn’t ease up when they find a buyer either. They are happy to oversee the whole process of legal conveyancing and removals as much as required to maintain momentum and progress, and they do so with persuasive charm and understanding with the buyer and all the professionals and service providers involved. No detail is too small for their attention. They create confidence that all aspects of the transaction will be completed smoothly.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to take care of you and the sale of your home! I hope I don’t need them again for a long time – but I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Mr D EGar Street, 2022
Dear Sam and Nony.
We just wanted to say thank you for selling our house for us. After 37 years it was a difficult decision to sell but we are confident we chose the right agents to undertake it for us.
I have to say we have not been disappointed with the service we received and I would say to anyone considering selling their house they could not go wrong by using you. We are very pleased with the service. Thanks.
Mr and Mrs C LNew Farm Road, Alresford, 2022
After a previous abortive attempt to sell my period cottage with another agent, Nony got it under offer in 4 days for over the asking price. She is entirely proactive and endlessly kind and exactly who you want batting for you. Her husband Sam is equally kind. A great pair.
S.C.St John Street, 2023
Dear Nony and Sam, thank you for all your focus dedication and diligence in getting our house sold. We could not have done this without you. Sincere thanks
Ms J HMeadowland, Kings Worthy, 2022
Nony and Sam assisted us to sell our three bed semi-detached house in Winchester. They were so efficient at every stage, always contactable and incredibly knowledgeable of the process. This made a potentially stressful process feel easy.
Dr J S and Dr D BPortal Road, 2022
Nony, Many thanks Nony for all your amazing support and effort. We wouldn’t have got here without you.
Mr P A and Ms K PFraser Gardens, 2022
We feel really lucky to have had Nony and Sam as the agents in our recent home purchase. The years of experience shine through and they are always willing to help with anything. You feel part of a team all heading in the same direction. An absolute pleasure to deal with.
Mr and Mrs C B Axford, Candover Valley, 2022
Nony & Sam succeeded in securing us a sale with excellent, chain-free buyers on day one of marketing. They did so at the full asking price for our property.
This is an excellent and commendable result in itself, which is all the more impressive given that Nony & Sam succeeded were two other agents had previously failed to secure offers.
We were in no doubt that this marketing success is entirely attributable to such dedication getting to know the property and all of its features fully and ensuring that they are marketed optimally in write-up and in excellent photography.
Nony & Sam know their buyer clients extremely well and already had suitable clients eager for our property the moment it became available.
Succeeding at the marketing stage is part one. Where Nony & Sam’s service was equally dedicated was in progressing the sale through mortgage valuation, survey and enquiries to proceed to exchange within eight weeks.
Impressive work, especially given a sizable, rural, Victorian property.
Many thanks Nony & Sam!
Mr and Mrs J B Axford, Candover Valley, 2022
Nony expertly handled the sale of our house while we were 8000 miles and 8 time zones away. I can’t praise her enough: she navigated a myriad of issues with boundless enthusiasm and shrewd judgement to deliver a faultless performance. Her personal touch was evident and presence right up until completion. This is my eighth bout of conveyancing and by far and away it was the easiest and most professional. Nony and Sam have my very highest recommendation to any seller; I’d use them again in a heartbeat.
Maj L HDowns Close, Broughton, 2022
As a family, we were looking for genuine help and advice when relocating to Hampshire. When we first met Nony we noted that she has very extensive and informed knowledge of the area - which
Most importantly, we really appreciated Nony's style of open and regular communication, always keeping us informed, and always returning calls the same day. Throughout the course of our relocation that was highly valuable.
We very much recommend Nony's services - efficient and highly professional at all times!
Mr PethicaDowns Close, Broughton, 2022
We met with Nony and Sam when viewing the house we are moving into very soon, yayy! Our house wasn’t even on the market when we viewed the house. We asked them to put our house on market, sell it and get us the one we viewed through them. They did sell our house in a very short time and got us the house we wanted. I believe these are their strengths within the market that made this happen:
They attended all the appointments in person to get our house onto market, including the photography, treated our house like it was their own to sell. When our house was being viewed, we felt like it made a big difference that they attended all the viewings as agents and could answer any questions of buyers regarding the house. We viewed a lot of houses from other estate agents and didn’t experience the trust and time we got from them when viewing the house with any others (as most of the time random people who doesn’t work at the estate agent opens the door for you when you look around and they mostly are limited to 15 mins max.) They followed up the process very closely once our offer was accepted, recommended us solicitors which we were very happy with and helped us arrange dates for completion etc. Simply they were there all the time and were very accessible at any time.
Bottom line, we recommend Nony and Sam to anybody looking to buy or sell a property. We think they are the best in this area.
Mrs H B and Mr R BSt Giles Close, 2022
Personal attention is often an over promise and under performance. But not with Nony and Sam.
Being only the second property I have ever sold, hand holding was essential from my point of view. Nony gave us the best support possible without ever being intrusive. Shepherding along was the way I would describe it. We are recommending their service whenever we get the chance.
Mr P KUplands Road, 2022
If you want to sell your home efficiently with the least amount of hassle and achieve a successful result then we would have no hesitation at recommending Nony & Sam to be your independent agent.
They were completely professional and diligent, keeping us informed at every stage from day one of marketing to completion.
Extremely happy vendors!

Mr and Mrs R PItchen Abbas, 2022
Buying a house during the pandemic was even more stressful than usual due to the market
activity for the past two years.
We were just so lucky to come across Nony and Sam selling a house in our ideal location. Nony put herself out hugely to squeeze us in for a viewing the very next day and secure the house for us, against many looking at it.
It hasn't been without some ups & downs, but Nony & Sam were there the whole way, supporting us.
Thank you both so much for your professional and responsive attitude in this process, it's been hugely appreciated

Mr and Mrs V BItchen Abbas, 2022
We were introduced to Nony only two weeks ago when we were considering putting our property on the market. We found her not only charming but so so professional and in no time at all she was here with an excellent photographer and we were ready to go online. Within two days we had five viewings, one of which was successful. This lady is exceptional and if you want to sell your house you won’t do better anywhere.
Mr and Mrs H WBishops Sutton, 2022
Is she an estate agent?
Nony helped me with my Winchester property search in September 2016 and with her friendly manner she won over my trust very quickly so much so that when left with the difficult decision of which property to proceed with, there was only one person to go to for advice. Nony gave me a clear straightforward response which was hugely appreciated when faced with an important decision.
A few weeks ago we decided to move on an put the property on the market. We love the property but it’s time to move on. We instantly sought out Nony and were delighted she is still in the property business. Since then Nony has been as friendly as ever, answered calls promptly, guiding us through important small attentions to detail involved in selling a property and with her colleague Zoe has taken wonderful photos/video tours of our home. We are receiving a very personal service from Nony and are confident our property is in the best hands with her.
So, in conclusion, yes is Nony is an estate agent but far more than that, is someone we enjoy working with and most importantly trust. She is an estate agent like few others. We are lucky we have her in Winchester.

Mr R COrams Arbour, 2022
Nony has just sold my house and I could not recommend her more highly. Nony is the kind of estate agent I'd dream of but think you will never find. She worked tirelessly to find the best buyer for my property. Then after I accepted an offer, she was active nearly daily to keep the deal moving until exchange & completion. She was constantly reaching out to keep me informed of what was happening and was creative at problem in solving at tricky points. She clearly loves what she does and this comes across in her enthusiasm and hard work. I am so happy that I worked with her as my estate agent!
Ms L CEdward Road, St Cross, 2021
Nony is just what one might hope for from an estate agent, well that’s what you think at first, but you soon realise she is streaks ahead of her competition, tenacious, attentive, communicative, knowledgeable, well informed. Her warmth and attentiveness are so welcome through this very stressful period, nothing is too much trouble, before , during or after a move, a constant reminder that a dedicated service goes considerably further than one normally receives or expects. She is an asset to have on your side.
Kevin StratfordOwner, Kevin Stratford Property Consultant, 2021
We have purchased a house via Nony. Nony has offered a great, friendly service from start to finish. Always easy to get hold of and great communication. I have recommended Nony to friends searching in the Winchester area and would fully recommend Nony to others - purchasers and vendors!
Mr M WBereweeke Avenue, 2021
I have known Nony for some years and always admired her willingness to take the time to understand her clients property requirements. She has a wide knowledge of the local property market and her many clients rely on this knowing she will put all her experience and enthusiasm into selling their home. In setting up her own independent business she has done so in a most professional manner. I wish her every success and am happy to recommend her to those requiring her services.
Mr S T Harestock, 2021
Nony is what estate agents should be but so very rarely are. She is dynamic, proactive, enthusiastic and gets personally engaged. She always kept us informed and is super-straight honest (and warns you she will be the same with the buyers of your home!). When we were selling our Winchester house we needed someone to manage getting the house ready as well as market it because we were abroad. Nony just got stuck in immediately. Repair work was organised, furnishings and dressings were organised, and against all odds the house was sold for the asking price before the stamp duty change - saving the buyer several thousand pounds. A super dynamo of a human being - Nony is both thoughtful and great fun! I have been recommending her to everyone I can think of.
Ms S PSt Johns Street, 2021
I have both bought and sold houses with Nony and she has provided a exemplar service. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Specifically she. • Provided in-depth research to establish price points • Very interested in understanding our specific needs • Every stage was covered with high levels of attention to detail • Competitive fees • Proactive communication throughout always going over and beyond her remit to ensure we reached completion as soon as possible Thanks Nony, keep up the excellent work!
Mr L GSouth Wonston, 2021
I recently purchased a house with Nony, and was super impressed by the work she put in, firstly to ensure that my offer was accepted, and secondly, to ensure that the transaction was pushed through to completion in the fastest time possible (despite challenges on the way!). She worked all hours of the day, kept us informed throughout the process and was friendly but professional at all times. I would highly recommend.
Ms E LOtterbourne, 2021
I bought my first house in Winchester through Nony. I didn’t even remember the company name behind which she operated because she made our family, our wishes and our needs personal. It was all her! It wasn’t a transaction but more of an interaction. She broke her wrist showing us a house my wife was so insistent on seeing which she knew we wouldn’t like, but she kept listening and kept persevering to show us something that we would eventually end up buying.
We are now selling, buying, looking and my experience of other estate agents in Winchester is just astonishing. Values, ethics, morals are not to be seen. It’s crazy that a home and the biggest investment a family can make is nothing more than a transaction.
Nony on the other hand is selfless, relentless and morally just different. Shout out to Pearson’s also, old school but of value.

Nony is quite simply the best estate agent ever. In fact, “estate agent” does not do her justice. The time and effort she puts in to finding what you need, either property or buyers and the follow up care is incredible. She will get deals over the line. Nony’s phenomenal skills and ability are amazing. I wish we still lived in Winchester!
Dr J McKRomsey Road, 2021
Looking back, I didn’t understand what ‘end to end service’ meant from an Estate Agent… but when Nony and Sam brought the full force of their combined charm and drive to push our sale along to completion through a bumpy and slow conveyancing process, I truly felt it and fully understood it.
I can’t thank Nony and Sam enough for their extraordinary and personal service. From the quality of the photography at the start, through viewings, recommendations, and negotiation to completion smiles, Nony and Sam provide a level of service you just don’t get from the High Street agents.
If you choose to engage them for your sale, you won’t regret it.
Ms J IChilbolton Avenue, 2021
I bought my first house in Winchester through Nony. I didn’t even remember the company name behind which she operated because she made our family, our wishes and our needs personal. It was all her! It wasn’t a transaction but more of an interaction. She broke her wrist showing us a house my wife was so insistent on seeing which she knew we wouldn’t like, but she kept listening and kept persevering to show us something that we would eventually end up buying. We are now selling, buying, looking and my experience of other estate agents in Winchester is just astonishing. Values, ethics, morals are not to be seen. It’s crazy that a home and the biggest investment a family can make is nothing more than a transaction. Nony on the other hand is selfless, relentless and morally just different.
Martin JohnstonHarestock, 2021
Nony recently helped us with the purchase of our home in Winchester. Throughout the whole process Nony was warm, friendly and extremely hard working. Her knowledge and work ethic were incredible and has made the whole experience far less stressful than previous attempts. Would highly recommend.
Mr D ROrams Arbour, 2021
Nony was an absolute delight to work with! She knew exactly who would buy our house and supported us all the way through the sale process from beginning to end. She took away so much of the worry and stress and gave us total confidence that the biggest purchase of our lives was really important to her too. We would have no hesitation at all in highly recommending Nony to anyone looking for that personal touch when buying or selling in Winchester.
Mrs A CEdgar Road, 2021
Nony helped me to secure a perfect investment property in the heart of Winchester. She lives and breathes her work, is totally dedicated and driven to achieve success for her clients.
Ms V RTwyford, 2021
Nony has gone above and beyond in helping us with our house purchase. On the day of our viewing she took the time to film a bespoke video of the property for us and has been there every step of the way ever since. This is what an estate agent should be - proactive, engaged, honest and available for both the buyer and seller. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Nony.
Mr B SSouth Wonston, 2021
Nony recently sold my house in Winchester, the same house that I bought through her 10 years ago. Her stand out qualities are just the same too which combine to provide a relaxed and friendly yet very professional and proactive service. She pays attention to detail and places a lot of care on ensuring a property is presented in its best possible light. In the few days following my house being listed online, Nony personally conducted over half a dozen viewings in one day, resulting in several offers being made and a sale being agreed in less than a week. The facts speak volumes about why Nony is my ‘go to’ agent and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.
Mr G OWavell Waye, 2021
I first met Nony when she was a kingpin at Charters in Winchester, when she showed me a range of five properties on or around my specification; I bought one of them the very next day. So as someone to buy from she is clearly brilliant at actively selecting and putting the right choices in front of the customer.
Now, I am selling through her and it's the same story of accurate understanding of the market, excellent presentation of property, from stills and on video, and a refreshingly direct manner and a total lack of b****. Aside from being very personable, she is very focused and a bit of a dynamo. Sold my place within two weeks of going to market, tells you all you need to know really.
Formidable!
Absolutely no hesitation in recommending her!

Dr S R THarestock, 2021
I can’t recommend Nony Kerr-Smiley enough. She does what estate agents should all do for their clients and so much more. Without her persistence and personal care I feel sure that our transaction would have been delayed and possibly have collapsed altogether. There is a popular golfing expression that goes along the lines of “the more I practice, the luckier I get”, Nony’s success is no doubt down to her hard work as well as her “never say die” approach to life.
Mr M R-CSt Cross, 2021
We have known Nony for a great many years, through her time as a leading consultant with the big name in Winchester estate agency to now. Nony has always been nothing but honest and straight-talking and has offered some of the best property advice and assistance we have ever received from an estate agent. Nony has just helped us find expert representation in Winchester which has been exceptionally professional, personal, and excellent. She has also offered us great advice and encouragement around our property search as well as advice and guidance on mortgage brokers, surveyors, and legal support. We could not recommend her highly enough. Client service and care as it should be.
Simon MoonDirector Of Marketing And Business Development, 2020
Like no other.
Nony offers the most fantastic estate agency experience from her passion, her tireless commitment, her knowledge, her creativity, right through to the straightforward nuts and bolts getting the necessary done.
She is with you all the way and makes that difference everywhere she goes. The powerhouse of Winchester estate agency in one cheerful chatty lady who will make you smile, and be the one you return to again and again 😀

Dr T PFulflood, 2020
Beneath the frenetic and eclectic exterior that is Nony Kerr-Smiley lies one of the most passionate property professionals you could ever wish to meet. Her love of Winchester and the surrounding areas shines through whenever you speak to her. She is driven to help people and because of that she has a hugely expansive knowledge of the market in which she is situated. She helped me out recently with a friend of mine who had a close friend who needed emergency accommodation during the recent lock down as the person in question had to fly in from abroad with special dispensation to be with a terminally ill relative who was in hospital in Winchester. I reached out to many people but Nony went the extra mile calling people she knew to see if she could help. She kept checking if things were sorted which thankfully arrangements could be made in the end. She did not known the person that needed the help and neither did I directly but her true altruism shone through. God broke the mould in a good way when he created Nony.
Paul SamsPartner at Dutton Gregory Solicitors, 2020
Nony is Brilliant - she comes up with all the connections (People and Properties) you might need and then some you would never have gotten to - all at the speed of light!
Desiree Ratcliffe-LattimoreManaging Director A,D8 UK Ltd, 2020
I thoroughly recommend working with Nony as an estate agent - if you're looking to buy or sell a home, she's honest, very hard-working and has deep integrity which isn't always a quality renowned in this industry. Nony is also very aware of the markets, she's an experienced agent with many years in the business, and she develops a great understanding of what's important to you as a client, especially during what can be a stressful time moving.
Marcos FrangosFounder & Director Wellspring Change Ltd, 2020
I know Nony from her time at Charters estate agents. I found her to be professional, open and honest as well as the hardest working agent I have come across, If Nony says "I will get back to you today" you can pretty much guarantee she will... it might be in the evening... but she will ! you cant ask for more than that. Good Luck to you Nony.
Nick BakerDirector Of Operations at ALEXANDRA HEATING SERVICES LIMITED, 2020
Nony exceeded all expectations when working with her on a move to the Winchester area. Winchester was a new area for us and we had limited knowledge of the property market. Nony was first class in taking time to understand exactly what we were looking for and was so helpful in supporting us in finding our home. My experience with Nony was unlike any other experience with previous estate agents and she will be the first person I turn to in the future for Winchester property advice!
Ben FindlayGlobal Account Manager | Financial Services, 2020
Nony knows the Winchester property market like nobody else I have met. She knows what a fair market price is and works hard to push deals through for the benefit of all. I would not hesitate to go to Nony for all my Winchester and surrounding area property sales/purchase needs!
Mike Ritchie-Cox Director at Connaught, 2020
On many occasions, I would drive by the office Nony worked at, way past closing time, the lights were on and there she would be giving 110% to her clients and the folks she worked for. Dedication like that is rare and it is why Nony achieved the exceptional results she did.
I have worked with Nony on and off for many years, buying and selling property as a developer. She is unique, a great communicator, does what she says when she says she will do it and has a great empathy. In a fast moving world, this is refreshing.
If I were to enter the agency market, I would seek the likes of Nony. A business is only as good as those you choose to work within it. Why compromise?
Jonathan GreatrixFurniture design and Sourcing/ Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot, 2020
Having worked with Nony during a couple of sales, I have experienced first hand her knowledge of the Winchester market. I wouldn't hesitate to sell another property with her.
Ms A LHyde, 2020
Nony is a true professional and extremely great at what she does. She will go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure her customers are happy. Quite often I’ve had calls from Nony well into the evening just to make sure things progress smoothly.
She’s been a real pleasure to deal with and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Mr A SHeadbourne Worthy, 2020
Nony has an incredible knowledge of the area and industry. Her ability to listen to and understand a house-hunter’s needs are simply amazing. Nony is highly personable, attentive and outstanding with her regular communication. She’ll invest all her time getting to know both a seller and a buyer to find the right match. We are in our dream home thanks to Nony and she will always remain our first point of contact should we look to sell and buy in the future!
Ms C TChandlers Ford, 2020
Hard working is an understatement, I am not sure Nony ever went home! Saw an opportunity and didn’t let go. Nony was well regarded in our industry, thorough and always got the job she set out to do; done! Very kind and compassionate, not sure how she us coping not being able to hug.
Anita AndrewsBranch Director at ME Estate Agents, 2020
Have known Nony for years and has guided me through all our house purchases and sales. Amazing communication skills and knowledge of the Winchester residential market.
Tom HollowayDirector & Chartered Surveyor at Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell, 2020
A very safe pair of hands, Nony knows the Winchester market, in particular, like the back of her hand.
Delia EdwardsSales & Marketing Manager at Hazeley Developments Ltd, 2020
Nony helped us buy our first home in a competitive Winchester housing market. She really listened to what we were looking for and found us a great house in a wonderful community close to downtown Winchester. When we moved abroad we chose to use the company where Nony worked to manage our property. Nony was brilliant at ensuring our interests as landlords were protected and that things happened when they got stuck within the internal workings of the property management team. As we start to think about our next family home we will definitely be looking to Nony to help us!
Isabel FelsteadEnvironmental Program and Project Manager, 2020
Nony is efficient, cheerful, no-nonsense and tenacious - it's always been a pleasure working with her and I look forward to roking together again!
Marcus WhitfieldInvestor and entrepreneu, 2020
In the time we worked together it was obvious that Nony knows her stuff. A demonstrated high level of customer service which was not just lip service to the process. When someone enjoys their job, you see it in their performance. And Nony enjoys what she does.
Mark PiperRegional Financial Services Sales Manager at Countrywide Mortgages, 2020
Nony Kerr-Smiley is simply the go to person if you’re looking to sell or buy a house in the Winchester area. With decades of experience and a personal service that I have never experienced anywhere else I would recommend Nony to anyone. You really will feel that she cares and is giving you 110% attention at all times and she will work long into the night and on weekends to ensure her clients’ satisfaction. I have friends that have also used Nony before and they say the same - in fact she had become a personal friend to some. I’m looking forward to having her back doing what she does best.
Shona ChalmersAir Traffic Controller at NATS, 2020
Nony is probably Winchester’s best property agent. As a buyer she was fantastic seeking out the right place for me. During negotiations she was a consummate professional. I would also be very happy to sell my place through her as I know she fought well for her client.
Tim DudderidgeConsultant Urologist at University Hospital Southampton, 2020
Nony was an absolute super star with our tricky sale. She worked so hard with our negotiations where I always felt she had our best interests at heart. She added such a personal touch to the process and I can’t thank her enough for making it all happen. Was definitely touch and go at some points.
