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.
Right from start when we were unsure about renting out our house, we were relieved at our first appointment with Scott. He had all of the answers, advise and really put us at ease. Very knowledgeable indeed. Also Jemima was very helpful, friendly and couldn’t do enough to make us happy and relaxed. We’ve found a lovely tenant and hope that the journey continues as smooth. Thanks Ocean, it’s been a pleasure
Mellissa is always attentive, helpful, and gives sound advice regards selling property. Her ability to listen to our concerns gave us confidence that the process would not be as daunting as we feared. Mellissa goes that extra mile in putting customers at ease.
Great experience from Melissa Bell. Outstanding customer service.
The 2 agents who showed our home were wonderful! Joseph and Molly - I rate them very highly. Friendly, approachable, reliable and upbeat (even after months of showing our home). There was a misunderstanding originally with Ocean regarding the commission percentage as I had obtain their details from an online portal which meant there was an extra fee involved (GetAgent beware!). I also queried the advice given when it came time to reduce our price - the advice was to reduce the price in £50k increments, but we reduced it by £25k once and that seemed to do the trick. Ocean's legal team were very efficient.
Not gonna lie, from start to finish these guys have been awsome! Both Liam & Emily are a credit to Ocean. After issues trying to sell my house for over a year with another Estate Agent in this area (who shall remain anonymous for now) Ocean took charge and delivered, selling the house in a couple of days. Emily went above and beyond in keeping me in the loop. I would 100% recommend these Estate Agents in Bristol.
Honest and efficient service from Luigi and his team
From the time I found about the availability of the apartment for rent till I made the call and got appointment for reviewing everything was amazing and lovely Chantelle Made everything smooth and easy with her pleasant attitude. Great team and will always deal with you. Thanks for everything.
Me and my partner recently bought our first house together. Although completion took longer than anticipated, our conveyancer Ella did everything possible to get it through in time before our mortgage offer expired. Everyone was really kind to us, even when we did get a little flustered at times. Would use them again in a heartbeat. 😊
Ashleigh at Ocean was always available to speak to, she replied promptly and explained every step of the process to me. Great service. Thankyou.
Very friendly and helpful, staff kept us informed with every stage of the house, from putting it on the market to the sale of the house.
thorough, knowledgeable, hard working and friendly
The staff at Ocean have been wonderful Its been a long haul but never once have they given up I feel they are family in a good way They have been very professional and I have appreciated all the support they have given me from the initial marketing to completion I will certainly use them again
Really happy with the Ocean experience. From viewings to the sales process, I felt supported. Communication was good, friendly and efficient.
From our first meeting with Jason who came to see our house prior to putting it on the market, through the viewing process with Matt and Jess, and the sales and legal process with Nicola and Hollie, we have been guided and kept abreast of what was happening. We have been very pleased with the support and professionalism we received.
Solicitor and mortgage advisor were fast to respond and very helpful.
I started my journey with Jack at Ocean, who was polite, friendly and professional at all times. Then Paul the Manager took over and he kept me informed of any updates and was always happy to go through anything I wasn’t sure of. Very polite and professional too.
Dimitri and his team were all hero's. A real example of how conveyancing should be done. Always very responsive and kept us up to date throughout the process they made is as stress free as a house move could be.
Very quick service and processed a last minute change incredibly quickly.
A very helpful and approachable company. Maintained good contact and made the process as stressfree and as straightforward as possible
