Ocean Estate Agents have been selling Bristol homes of all shapes and sizes – large and small, grand ¬and modest, smart and not so smart… for all kinds of people since 1984.
Founder Paul Harris started the business over 40 years ago with Ocean Bishopston on Gloucester Road, and there are now 12 local offices across the city including one in Portishead and Weston super Mare.
Their ethos is very much ‘people before property’, with the emphasis on looking after the individuals and families buying or selling their homes, to make what is often a challenging experience, as worry-free as possible.
Ocean’s teams, reflect the culturally rich communities of this wonderful city, spanning a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds from across Bristol.
It is also very much a family business. Many of the team have grown up and started their own families whilst working for Ocean – they even have some second generation ‘Oceaners’ now working for the company.
Keith was so helpful from start to finish , he made the process of finding new tenants for our property plain sailing . The communication from him was excellent, very fast response via emails and calls , The whole team were great to be honest . We will definitely be using Ocean again in the future Thanks guys 😊
Demi-Leigh was our move manager who was so attentive! Replied to emails quickly, always available via phone and so helpful with booking viewings or at the end of the phone when things felt like they weren’t going well! The whole team were as helpful with viewings but Matt and Paul, who also took paperwork to different offices for us to get things moving quickly too! A pleasure to work with!
All the staff in the Portishead office were helpful, sold our property quickly and put us at ease. Thank you for doing a great job
We are delighted with our new home. This would not have been possible without Mel, who listened to what we were looking for, knows the area well, and found the perfect fit. She kept us informed throughout the process, was always quick to act, and was happy to open up the house if we wanted to visit or had a survey etc. I'm very pleased to wholeheartedly recommend Mel and the team.
Thankfully we reached out to search for a higher standard estate agent following previous experiences of poor management. Will Jenkins Alun And all the team were absolutely fantastic at the following. 1-Communication 2- research of the postal address and surrounding areas. 3- References for tenants. 4- Literally everything was covered which gave us a stress free tenancy commencement. We are delighted to be working with Ocean Will and his colleagues have been 100% professional. 100% would recommend. Noreen & Michael
Great service. ALL the staff are friendly helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend! Thank you once again.
Excellent services
The team worked really hard getting the sale and purchase done so quickly. Thank you to Melissa & Steve for making this happen Nick & Lu
Chantelle was really helpful and answered any questions I had promptly. Would definitely recommend.
These guys were on the ball and got the job done as quick and efficiently as possible.
The staff were a pleasure to deal with. From those in the estate agency and the solicitors office. Our moving day didn’t go as planned due to the World Wide Web internet problems and phones being down in the local office, but the staff worked hard and we were eventually, and thankfully given the keys very late in the afternoon.
Always willing to take time. Found a buyer on 2nd viewing. Just very pleasant. Realistic on price.
Don’t expect your deposit back. Still waiting to hear back on our deposit being returned over 5 weeks after leaving the property. Agent is totally not interested and just says “we are awaiting the landlord”. Tenant Deposit Scheme states deposit should be returned within 10 days of vacating
Thanksful from Ocean company and Jack evans who helped me to find my right property in a short time.
Great service!
Joshua was professional throughout our dealings with Ocean and very personable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Although a house move can be stressful, he really helped make it easier and very straightforward.
Tracey and Simon are both incredibly knowledgable and supportive especially on complex topics like mortgages and finances. Simon had multiple online calls with us to talk us through the process and what we should expect. Tracey was amazing at supporting us after we submitted our application.
I used Ocean Financial Services for my remortgage (Neil and Tracey) as I always do. It went smoothly as always and was very efficient. They are a great team and always responsive to questions. Wouldn't go anywhere else to remortgage my Bristol property. Service is excellent.
Ocean was the second estate agent I used and were very professional and upfront on charges. There were plenty of viewings which were all booked with plenty of notice. Had an offer within 6 weeks. Kept informed at all stages of the process. I also used Ocean Lawyers which made the process smoother. There was regular communication and any issues that arose were swiftly and promptly dealt with. I would definitely recommend Ocean and would use them again .
