Hear what our clients have to say:
Lily Johnson came to our rescue when our new tenant backed out after 2 months due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Lily found us a new tenant within days and has handled all of the handover paperwork very efficiently.We will definitely go back to Lily for our next tenant. Thank you.
Jo Harvey
Lily Johnson helped me find a tenant for my property even in the middle of a global pandemic and lockdown. She was professional and helpful without being too "pushy," and she used all the resources at her disposal to show my flat in its best light. I'd be happy to work with her and the team at the John Shepherd office in Birmingham again.
Heather Manning
I cannot recommend Lily enough. Having needing to move during the current pandemic, I thought I would find it difficult to find somewhere and it be risky only being able to view somewhere online. I thought the whole letting process would be more difficult. Lily made it very easy, was efficient and kept me informed during the whole process at any time of day. Everything was completed over email / phone.

I have been renting a flat with John Shepherd for the last two years and have had nothing but positive experiences. Any issues with the flat have been dealt with as soon as I've reported them and everyone I've spoken to has been professional and responsive, especially Lily and Charlotte who I have had the most contact with. Great customer service and I would recommend this estate agent if you are looking to rent somewhere.
Bethany Weston

The team throughout (especially Charlotte) my tenancy were fantastic and really supportive. Best letting agents I've ever used
Jasmin Jenkinson
Both Lily and Natasha were extremely helpful in getting our move sorted asap. Considering the limited resources at the moment they went above and beyond and really managed to help us out more than we expected. Thank you again both Lily and Natasha for the hard work.
Hannah Westrup
I wanted to write this once I’d settled in the flat i am renting. My experience with John Shepherd- Birmingham has been nothing but a bliss. If i could give more than 5 stars i would! From viewing the property i dealt with both Megan and Lily Johnson and they were very professional, patient and understanding, I cant fault either of them. Communication was fast and any questions i had were dealt with in a timely manner. Having rented from other agencies which shall not be named, I will say that i was caught off guard as i was dreading the whole process due to bad experiences I’ve had in the past. I strongly recommend John Shepherd to anyone out there. Thank you Lily and Megan!!

My experience renting with John Shepherd so far has been great. I have been working mostly with Megan and she has always been available and helpful, prompt at responding to any questions I have had. Couldn't ask for any better!

I am very grateful to Lily and her team, who has been exceptional throughout the entire process. She was approachable and replied to all my queries promptly. I had a tight schedule of moving in and her assistance helped me achieve this with ease 🙂
Heng Jo'Anne
Very good and reliable property management agency. Megan was very kind and helpful when I was looking for renting a flat in Birmingham, she prepared all the paperwork and got everything on time ready to be signed the day we agreed. I had a very good experience, I highly recommend John Shepherd when it comes to sales, lettings and property management.
Jorge Bertinato
I moved to John Shepherd as my then letting agent had been unable to let my flat for a few months. John Shepherd managed to let it within a few weeks! And although they are more expensive than my previous agent, their service is much better. Right from the first time when I called them and spoke to Lily up to now which is a few months since my flat has been let, they have been very helpful and respond to all my email queries promptly. Rent is also paid to me on time and with the appropriate statements. I have been very happy with all my dealings with both Lily and Drew and am therefore happy to recommend John Shepherd in Birmingham.'P.P

John Shepherd managed the sale of my apartment, which due to an uncertain market at the time wasn’t a particularly straightforward sale. I’m happy to say I felt well taken care of throughout. Their advice was always well informed and well considered and their service and professionalism was consistently excellent - from Maggie at the earlier stages and then Emilie later on.In particular the way Emilie handled a number of unexpected issues from the buyer side was particularly impressive. We had productive and candid conversations and it was always clear to me what was happening. There was also a lot of thinking outside of the box from Emilie to get things back on track!At the 11th hour there was another issue from the buyer and the sale looked certain to fall through. This is where Emilie really came to the rescue. I gather this took some very delicate conversations with the buyer and their solicitor but somehow she managed to turn it around.Selling a home is a very emotive experience and in the wrong hands can be a nightmare. I wouldn’t hesitate to use John Shepherd again. You can never control every aspect of the process but having the right expertise, experience and customer service ethos on your side makes all of the difference.

I have just let a property with John Shepherd Birmingham & would love to give a huge shoutout to Lily Johnson. I have never had an easier transition moving house. Lily is fantastic at her job, extremely efficient with the whole process! Any queries she has been quick to answer and kept us up to date with everything. Can’t thank Lily enough for all her help! Highly recommend using this estate agents. There the best! X
Charna Oneill
Have been extremely pleased with the care and attention from the staff at Birmingham City Centre branch. They are all really helpful whenever we ask advice or have any problems. Had a lot of help from Megan and lily as we moved into our new property, and Charlotte Ford has been a star when it comes to seeking advice and getting any issues resolved and any repairs fixed as soon as is able. Thank you all so far, extremely grateful! Julia and John.
Julia Rowland
Very satisfied with the following star people at John Shepherd's in Birmingham- Drew Swadkins- Lily Johnson Both are reliable, efficient and well mannered and have made me feel that I can trust them. It's huge relief to know that such people exist. So I highly recommend them very gladly.
Nusin Arbabzadah
Lily has provided an exceptional service for me. Her responses are quick and helpful and nothing is too much of an ask. She made the whole process so easy and stress-free for me
B Freniagio
Very good service and very helpful staff. Lily showed the house to my boyfriend and Drew was kind enough to agree on showing me the place on another day when I was available. However, if you are going for a viewing and agree on the house, be sure of the furniture that are inside because sometimes their photos on the website might be misleading and show a full-furnished house.
Yiota Tsamourtzi
Had a great experience viewing an apartment with Maggie. She was polite, courteous, knowledgable of the area and actually sold the benefits of the property (as opposed to a lot of agents who just tell you what room you're standing in (I know I'm in the kitchen, thanks!). I also spoke to Emilie on the phone who had a professional manner, was friendly and most helpful. I ended up purchasing the property so thank you very much. Keep up the good work!

Gita Patel has managed our rental property in Birmingham for over five years. She is terrific! We live abroad, but working with her has been as easy as if we lived next door. She deals with any and all issues that may arrive quickly, efficiently and stress free.
Paul Risacher
I have carried out decorating work to properties that are managed by John Shepherd for a number of years. During that time I have developed an excellent working relationship with Charlotte. Charlotte makes sure properties are kept in good condition for landlords by ensuring necessary work is dealt with quickly to get properties back on the market.I look forward to working with John Shepherd and the team for many years to come.

My experience at John Shepherd was absolutely amazing. My agent Lily from the John Shepherd branch in Birmingham on Colmore row, handled my move with such grace and efficiency that I honestly do not know how the process would’ve progressed without her. She made sure all my queries were answered with the most detail and ever so promptly, irrespective of what time or day it was. I have never had such an efficient as well as informative agent experience before, but I can honestly say I would fully recommend John Shepherd. Overall an utterly helpful and pleasant experience!

I just wanted to say thank you to Debbie for being so helpful. I’ve been a John Shepherd tenant since 2013 and always find Debbie to be approachable, efficient, helpful and knowledgeable. She manages the relationship with the landlord who’s flat I live in very well. And if I need a repair it is actioned very quickly. Thank You.

Lily at John Shepherd on Colmore Row has been outstanding. The best estate agent experiance I have ever. Pleasant to deal with and unbelievably responsive irrespective of the query or the time of day. Her hand off with Drew was also brilliant. Great team that made the experience of moving so much easier. 10/10!

John, Lily and Megan were great in helping me with the move to my new flat. They responded quickly to any question I had and were very knowledgeable about anything I asked. The move in process was stress free - would definitely recommend!
Emily Stewart
had a good experience with this agent, unlike other agents I got a good amount of deposit back which used to worries me a lot. I really definitely recommend it to my colleagues. Charlotte is really responsible and she also keeps my letters after I moved away, and that letters are all important. They always response in time and not bother the tenant. Lily was nice was helpful as well. I am happy with the agent.

Antony Gomez
From Start to finish, Emilie and Maggie in the Birmingham City Centre office were professional and beyond helpful. Without their advice, knowledge and support I would have had a very different experience. I’m so glad I chose John Shepherd. If MD’s read this - I hope you know what a credit Maggie and Emilie are to your business!
Danni D
We have been contacting Maggie and Emily in the Birmingham office, they are very friendly and approachable. The sale is in process, but a bit slow at the moment, hopefully, we can hear some updates from the vendor soon. The team has also been helping us getting updates from the vendor.

Lilly it's an amazing agent! She was really helpful since the start of my application and until the actual day I moved in! She answered all my questions and understand my worries, she was really comprehensible, patient and implicatedXX
Mélina MERABLI
Drew, Lily, and Megan were stellar partners in helping me get my flat rented out immediately after completion. I was advised to go with John Shepherd for the close personal attention they would be able to provide. As it happened, the flat was only on the market for 4-5 days and the tenant in within a week. Drew and the team went the extra mile to close the deal and get the job done in record speed: professional, persistent, perfect!
Michael B. Griffiths
Lilly was extremely helpfull throughout my whole moving process! from viewing till the actual day i moved in! She supported me with anything i needed help with and assured me about things i wasnt sure about! Sucha lovely person and very professional!

Lily and the team were excellent. We had a tight schedule to get moved in so their efficiency was much appreciated! We have dealt with a few estate agents recently and have been very disappointed. John Shepard on the other hand blew us away with their professionalism and continued support.

Katherina Tong
I have received a sharp and and very quick response from Drew after showing interest for a flat I found on right move , I have literally viewed it the next day.After the viewing I agreed with Drew that I was interested and that if he could send me an email with all the details for the terms which he did (few minutes later ). It was a bit costly Initially with all the fees etc... but I really wanted the flat and expressed it openly and asked for a discount that was granted to me by John Shepherd Thanks to Drew’s help.From then it was all straight forward from the referencing to signing And collecting keys also they work very closely with 3rd party companies that would assist you through your whole move.Also through the process I have also felt very engaging people such as Megan and Lily that were always keeping me up to date at every stage of the process up to the contract signing .It was quick efficient and effective.Thanks JS for your help .I would definitely Recommend.
