Clients DeVono have advised

I have really enjoyed working with you – it was the right decision to work with DeVono. I believe you understood our business and future aspirations and delivered a space that is going to be perfect for our future HQ in Europe. The support (and patience) in closing has also been a great help, thank you for your commitment to seeing everything through at our new offices. You can count on us as a positive reference for DeVono.

I feel I must take this opportunity to express my extreme satisfaction, nay delight, at both the deal you have found and brokered on our behalf and the service we have received.

The office space we have achieved for our budget is far bigger and better than we would ever have expected- and far better than we would have managed on our own. Your fee has been very, very worthwhile to the Cascaid Group.

I must also comment that the service received from Devono has been exemplary. In what I have experienced to be the unpleasant world of estate agency it has been a real joy to work with you. You have been driven, proactive, reliable and extremely quick and responsive. The fact that you are pleasant to work with has been a bonus.

Working with Devono has been one of the very best customer experiences of my business career.

Looking back to my earlier concerns about engaging DeVono in our property search, I can say that on all counts you completely exceeded expectations in the end.

Originally, I wasn't convinced you would be completely on top of available property in the area, but as far as I can tell you knew about everything relevant on the market (and often before it came available); in any case, you found us something suitable. Ultimately, our final choice of property is the only one that matters...

Even if I understood how you could add value at the search stage, you may remember that I didn't believe you could add significant value during negotiations. At least with the property that we selected in the end, I can be absolutely confident that we would not have understood how to negotiate a lease that worked so well for both tenant and landlord.

We would not have had the confidence or understanding to low-ball significantly to secure such a low rent; and on the other hand if we had still moved forward with a higher rent then we would have had higher expectations about things that the landlord needed to change or update. For example, there's an historical stain from a leak on the wall which in the context of the deal we reached isn't a problem - at our budget we are happy to paint it ourselves if it meant the deal could be completed quickly and cheaply. At a higher rent we would have wanted things like that sorted, which would have delayed things, and potentially caused the landlord to believe that the deal was no longer worth their time.

And then in the final act, DeVono effectively secured a 10% reduction in all costs by measuring the space at 90% of the advertised area! As far as we're concerned it's still the same space as we (visually) saw we were getting all along, so this is seen by us as a reduction in costs but not really space.

So, we have a big job ahead of us before we can move in - and some tight timescales to meet our own targets, but right now we are extremely pleased with the outcome that DeVono helped deliver. And even just on cost alone, the price tag for your service is clearly less than the savings we have made.

I think you have been very good.  The whole process went smoothly from my perspective and your response time to all our queries was very good.  I would certainly recommend you and would certainly use you again.

As a fast-growing independent company, it was crucial for our business to find the right office premises to continue growing. However like most management teams we are usually very busy, so finding the time to dedicate to the task was always going to be a challenge. DeVono came on board and efficiently organised the property viewings, helped us refine our requirements and narrow down the options, navigating us through the entire process in a highly professional way. The team helped us compare like for like and negotiated on our behalf, allowing us to keep focussed on our own business. On a tight timetable they made our move possible, took a lot of the pain away, and gave us good advice. I would recommend them highly.
