Excellent communication with Amy and Ellie. Great advice and recommendations during our purchase process.
I must compliment the professionalism and good nature of Christina Williams in the Cannock office. She always answered emails promptly and rang back when she said she would. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to be your contact if you are thinking of using their Letting Agency services.

Ellie has been very useful with my daughter purchasing her first property. She has always replied to emails and enquires the day of enquiring! Thankyou
Absolutely fantastic service second to none by Amy & Ellie from the Cannock branch on the sale of my bungalow especially the communication nothing was too much trouble with any issues I was unsure with thankyou very much... I wouldn't hesitate for one moment to highly recommend John shepherd and the team from Cannock ...all in all brilliant 👏
Harry was always helpful, informative and professional when guiding us through the house buying process. He ironed out the few problems that did arise and kept us fully up-to-date with procedings.
I used John Shepherd Collection to sell my house, and they were exceptionally professional, friendly, and skilled. Selling a house in a challenging market is difficult, but they persevered and provided excellent advice throughout the process. Harry Moore was exceptional, and when he was unavailable, Natasha Anklesaria also did a fantastic job. I would wholeheartedly recommend Harry and John Shepherd Collection estate agents for any future property sales.
Good morning , I currently rent one of your properties and I just wanted to share my gratitude to Faye Nichols your Repairs Co‑Ordinator, for going above and beyond this morning for helping me with an issue with my property I had mentioned it to her which she said to leave it with her and she got straight on it and followed it up with a phone call to let me know what was going on. Very greateful for your kindness and support - thank you so much for your help Faye!!
We used this company to find tenants for our flat and were pleasantly surprised by the great service we received. The communication was great, I didn't have to prompt them or remind them about anything, and they've even responded quickly and efficiently to a couple of queries I had after their job was complete. I can't fault the service, would definitely use them again, and can highly recommend them. I dealt mostly with Sana but got the same level of service from her colleagues too.
A couple of weeks ago, I had a terrible experience with a letting agent while trying to move into a new flat, even forfeiting my holding deposit due to unnecessary, deceitful and ridiculous process. However, when I came across John Shepherd, they were incredibly helpful in finding me a new place. I didn’t have to wait forever for a viewing, as they arranged appointments as quickly as possible. Within a week, everything was sorted—the letting process was quick, efficient, and professional. I’d especially like to thank Faith and Paula for their support! I would recommend John Shepherd anytime, any day.
After an awful experience with another company, I am so glad we found John Shepherd. Moving can be a stressful time but our agent Turkay was the most helpful go-between us and our buyer. He was extremely professional, calm and good for the nerves! Thank you Turkay and John Shepherd. We are really grateful.
I have four flats managed by John Shepherd in Birmingham. Inevitably, there is always something going on. Previoudly, life with Centrick comprised an information void. Since dealing with Caitlin MacDonald, the quality and timeliness of the service has changed beyond all recognition. She responds quickly and professionally whenever there are issues and I couldn’t speak more highly of her service ethic. Thank you, Caitlin.
John Shepherd acquired our previous letting agent last year. It has taken them some time to integrate the different operations. During this time we dealt with several people with various leves of frustration and difficulty. The higher management do a great job in insulating themselves from mere customers and despite suggestions on the website could not be contacted. The arrival of Maisy Smith was an extremely welcome relief. She is courteous, helpful, efficient, effective and demonstrated exactly how the task should be done. Her example should be copied throughout the business. Thank you Maisy.
Natasha Watkins was my agent in the sale of my apartment. She was very helpful and efficient in all aspects. Great service. Recommend.
Were really helpful during the whole purchase transaction - keeping things moving and keeping me informed
Caitlin took the stress out of sorting out a Coucil Tax issue with Birmingham City Council on my behalf, with great efficiency. For me this demands five stars! Thank you!
