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.
Service was excellent in all areas
Luigi was very helpful, we did not know where to start with the mortgage process especially since we have a non-standard professional situation. We were really happy with the different quotes provided and the continuous check-ins.
The way and speed Livia conducted the whole process of buying the house,nothing too much trouble and would get back to me in a instant with any questions,I have been buying and selling houses about 40 years and I got to say this was the best service ever😊
After a slow start they were brilliant. Thanks for the updates.
Chris came to value our property - we chose him as he was friendly & not pushy at all. A lot of other estate agents we discovered around BS9 would say “if you were on the market with us, it would put you in a better place if you wanted to bid on one of our other properties.” No mention of any of this from Ocean. Sam our sale agent was always happy and positive - extremely pleasant to deal with. He had great energy & you can tell he enjoys his job. Tanya who was in the final stage was great at keeping us informed about the chain & very friendly & explained the process well.
I didnot find my need yet , but Molly was really active staff and amazing personality , cooperative and supportive . I like to deal with her 🏠 to find my home 🏠 Thank u to have such this attitude of staff in ur company 👍
5 stars!!! They always have been professional and honest. Their support has been very useful. All the crew has been close to me since the beginning, supporting me step by step till the end of the process. I had the good idea to get the mortgage advisor with Ocean.. and I think Richard has been excellent. Also their solicitor has been pretty good. Thank you everyone. I particularly need to thank Emily, Emily, Kiera (and her beautiful colleague), Patricia and Kirstie.
Both the speed and the professional manner in which I have been attended to and was treated. I am kept up to date and kindly reminded (when I have missed an email) which is exactly what I needed at the time. Well Done Ocean. Downend (James & Jemima and all)
Gemma Gill was a pleasure to work with, once again. We will contact ocean again for future work. Thank you.
Mel was fantastic. She kept us up to date and was always happy to help with any questions or guidance.
Mel (Move Manager) at Ocean in Westbury has been fantastic during my purchase, super helpful, kind, and responsive to any questions.
Sell and buy at the same time with Ocean agents and solicitors, who are very professional with high efficiency, do appreciate all their great help and support with kindness and patience. Highly recommend!
Exceptional service from this company. This is the third time I’ve used Ocean and I haven’t been disappointed. Lovely staff, always helpful
The employees were very helpful and communicated every step of the process. One of the Agents Evie Lane was very helpful, would definitely recommend the Agency.
Ocean Estate has been very helpful with helping us securing a home that fits our family's needs. The agents (shout out to James Heywood, Naomi Wiltshire, Elliott Laffin and Jemima Kivell) have all been going above and beyond with assisting us at every step of the process and have been empathetic with our situation. We're very happy with them and definitely recommend them!
A great experience from start to finish. Communication from everyone at Ocean was professional, timely and informative. Curtis took us smoothly through the initial marketing process before passing over to Move Manager Lauren who kept us updated throughout the sale. Using Ocean’s in-house conveyancing team made things really easy as everything was under one roof, and again Lily and the team were a pleasure to deal with - nothing like the usual narrative around solicitors. Staff helped us to navigate a few challenges elsewhere in the chain as we got nearer to exchange and completion, again keeping us updated and offering reassurance. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ocean Estate Agents and Ocean Property Lawyers, and in fact have already done so which has resulted in friends listing their properties with Ocean! Our vendors’ estate agent also commented on how good Ocean were to deal with.
Great company to work with, they made what would have otherwise been a stressful time finding a new property within Bristol so much easier. I would also like to personally thank Lily for her help during the viewings period and being super speedy with her email responses. I will 100% be going back to Oceans Estate Agents in the future to help with any potential future moves. Thanks again!
Sam Bonizzi, Evie Lane and the ocean team at Willow Brooke, Bradley Stoke,has made the transition of moving into a new home stress free. I really appreciated their dedication in ensuring the process is efficient. Truly left an impression on me towards Oceans, I'm always going to be coming back if there's ever any future house moves or sales.
Sam & Sadie and all the staff at Shirehampton were a pleasure to work with. They were friendly, professional and always available during the whole process of selling and buying with Ocean.
