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.
I had a very positive experience with Ocean in purchasing a house. The Bishopston office seems to have a cohesive team of quality professionals all of whom I always enjoyed chatting with. They are pragmatic, well organised and personable. Particular thanks should go to Kiera, whose empathic and calm approach made this rather stressful purchase much less so. Top set of people, thoroughly recommend.
We had a lovely experience with Ocean through the lovely Sarah Azzout who we were dealing with during our tenancy. She was very kind and helpful when we needed to correspond with the landlord or sort things out in the house. I would highly recommend Ocean ☺️
Luigi and Clare at Ocean Mortgage Services are great. No question to small, responding to queries extremely quickly and thinking ahead to the very best solution/rates for our house remortgage. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a mortgage. Have used as a first time buyer, on a second house purchase and as a remortgage.
Simon - Oceans mortgage broker- was incredible. Super helpful, very easily contactable and dealt with our slightly tricky mortgage options excellently. Also just a lovely guy! Tracey also provided great additional support.
From start to finish Ocean property were amazing. Stephanie and her team dealt with our purchase and sale, kept us well informed and remained professional and polite throughout. Thanks again!
So glad I chose Ocean to sell my house. Liam, Seamus and Emily have been amazingly supportive and professional, keeping in touch at every stage of the process, providing reassurance when needed and going above and beyond expectations. The level of customer care and professionalism has quite simply been outstanding. Thank you so much.
Abu and Ocean have been brilliant in letting out and managing our flat in Bristol. Found good tenants very quickly and have been very efficient in dealing with any ongoing issues that have arisen.
I have recently sold a number of properties through Ocean in Bristol - using both the Southville and Knowle branches. In each case the sales team have very actively marketed the properties, generating a considerable number of viewings which have led to strong offers in a short period of time. Throughout the initial sales process the agents were comprehensive in their reporting of the offers and on the situation of each of the potential buyers. On accepting the offers the sales process was passed on to a Move Manager who kept things moving along. This combined with using the in-house legal team led to a very slick and integrated operation. An online portal and regular reports kept me up to date with how each sale was going. Overall the process was faultless and a credit to all involved.
We were looking to rent a property and we had a great experience with Ocean. The entire process was made clear and every step of the way the staff were friendly and informative which put your mind at ease at what can be a stressful process! - huge shout out to Jemima who kept us updated throughout, very friendly and fantastic customer facing skills, thank you!! :) - Steve & Soph
No problem Allhandled well through all departments
We have used Ocean on several occasions and have always received straightforward and professional service
Straightforward and efficient, Ocean Estate Agents made the viewing process simple. Many thanks to Will Jenkins who showed us round and has continued to be responsive and supportive with all questions and concerns we have. Would definitely look to use them again in future!
To sell a property is not a pleasant task.! After initial conversation a price was agreed and then adjusted to market conditions. In less than a week Sold…. Melissa, Mike and Steve were professional and communicative which made my journey with the Ocean group most acceptable. Thank you very much
Tommy Day has been absolutely brilliant in supporting my partner and I with our move to Bristol. Such frequent and friendly communication always adds a bit of light to an often stressful time. Highly recommend.
Went with Ocean due to them charging less commission than another well known agent that is popular in the area. A small team sold the house as opposed to an individual agent but it worked well, one came out to meet us, two others did the viewings and then the 4th person made sure everything ran smoothly post offer. It was really valuable having a dedicated person to chase agents, solicitors and other parties. Offer received for full asking price within 3 weeks of going on the market.
Tracey and Luigi have been great in assisting us with both our first mortgage and our remortgage. They have always been available to advise us and give clarifications if we needed their assistance.
Our experience with Ocean Letting and Management has been great. William Jenkins has been handling our viewings and applications and has been incredibly helpful and friendly throughout the process. He has responded to our questions very quickly through both email and phone, and has kept us frequently updated whilst we waited for things to progress. The process has been very professional and straightforward and we would thoroughly recommend.
Luigi is really pro active, contacting us well ahead of our renewal date to help ensure we got the best deal. We asked him to search for ethical mortgages and he found the best ethical mortgage was the best deal overall!
Exceptional and personable service through both Mark & Sadie. Very responsive and really helpful.
