Meet the Team

David and Barbara  were extremely delighted to use Caledonia Estate Agents for the sale of our house.

The professionalism ,and the personal care was wonderful , as due to a buyer,further down the chain pulling out, it was quite a difficult time for Sophia and ourselves.

It was a pleasure to have Sophia as our sales person, and without hesitation, we would highly recommend Caledonia Estate Agents.

Thank you

David and Barbara.

Having used Caledonia estate agents in past with previous property sales, we know they would understand and listen to what we want out of a sale. 

Darren is very honest and will go the extra mile to get the best for both buyers and sellers. 

He understood and listened to everything we were after and found us the perfect buyers. 

Not only that but he worked around us and we helped as best we could to get the best result. He was very proactive and made sure we were in communication about viewings and the selling process. 

Even though Caledonia valuation was lower than another estate agent, once we had it valued by a surveyor he was correct and realistic rather than over valuing our property and being left with a property on the market to long. 

We would 100% recommend all aspects of working with Caledonia and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

We are extremely happy with the service that Darren provided us. He is very positive and honest. He was very quick to address and reassure us with any concerns or issues we had, and found answers to our questions promptly. This made the whole process very smooth, this minimised the stress that comes with purchasing a property. Very professional service, would highly recommend! Thank you Darren!

Sophia was always friendly & polite, her advice was honest and when the offer was made she kept me right about next steps. Sophia then contacted me as the sale was finalised to make sure I was happy with everything. 

Also special mention to Siobhan in the office who is polite & friendly over the phone. 

Highly recommended Sophia & Caledonia Estate Agency.

A huge thank you to Darren McConnell @Caledonia Estate Agency with the sale of our flat in Aviemore, Darren went above and beyond with our purchase, helping us complete the marketing and sale remotely throughout the entire process, communicating clearly and efficiently as well as chasing solicitors where needed.  I  would highly recommend Caledonia estate agency  and particularly Darren based on our experience Thank you.

Gordon - Aviemore

We received fantastic advice from Darren both before the house went to market and in getting it on the market. He handled all the viewings and found a buyer within days. He then spent the next few weeks helping to agree the deal and getting it over the line. A fantastic service from start to finish, we would highly recommend.

 Barry and Caroline.

 5 stars.

We highly recommend Caledonia Estate Agency and the first class service we received from Darren, who was so helpful, professional, and knowledgeable, keeping us updated all the time, with such thought and care. Very approachable and always there to help throughout selling process, photos and video were excellent quality, Thank you.

"Absolute pleasure working with Darren who we have both bought and sold a house with now.  Unrivalled knowledge of the local market, he really cares about his clients and is always open and honest to both buyers and sellers on any deal.  Can't recommend highly enough"

Al & Becca - Aviemore

“I couldn’t recommend Caledonia Estate agency enough. The whole process of selling our property was simple and seamless and you couldn’t have been more helpful or on hand even though you had just become a daddy for the first time. Our sale was an emotional one and it was handled sensitively and you where so accommodating of us. The enthusiasm you have for the sale of our house translated very quickly into views and genuine offers and we couldn’t have asked for and easier process. We valued your knowledge and professionalism and we would have no hesitation in highly recommending Caledonia Estate Agency.”

Darren came highly recommended by friends in the village.

We gave him a challenging brief:

- an off market private sale with no publicity

- a short time scale

Within a week Darren had a shortlist of vetted buyers identified from his black book and keen to view and by the end of the second week he had secured an offer that exceed our expectations and his target price!

Enthusiastic, an excellent communicator and someone who does what he says he will, Darren made the process look easy in the way that only an expert who is really great at their job can do.

Darren was very good at making everything really simple for us when selling our house.  He explained everything clearly and maintained great communication throughout.  Our experience was great and I would recommend Calendonia to anyone looking to sell or buy.  Darren is knowledgeable about the area and the landscape and had a professional and friendly attitude that really helped us to remain calm in what could have been a stressful situation.

Thank you for everything - your hard work was really appreciated.

Caledonia Estate Agency, and Darren the estate agent in particular, were fantastic to deal with. From initial visit, all the way through to the sale of our property, they were extremely professional, approachable and efficient. The online brochure they created showed our house in the best light, and added extras like the drone footage just elevated it to another level. So much so we sold within a week of it going live! Would use them again for sure, although hopefully won't be needing their services too soon in the near future! Moving is stressful!

We purchased a new apartment from Caledonia Estate Agency in August 2022.  It was a new build apartment in Aviemore which we paid a deposit for in April 2021.  Due to the after effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic there were delays with materials and recruitment issues which were outwith the developer’s control.  We dealt with Darren McConnell, Estate Agent who I can imagine received a lot of hassle because of the delays, we found him very approachable and contactable at all times, he was honest with us and kept us informed.  If we had any questions he was very helpful and answered as best he could.  When the properties were being released in stages he did everything he could to ensure we gained entry to our property at the earliest possible date.   Aviemore is quite a small community, we often meet Darren out and about and he always stops and says hello which shows his customer service is second to none as he still takes the time to talk to us even though our business transaction with his company is complete.   If we had a requirement to use Caledonia Estate Agency again we would not hesitate.

Having a property to sell in Aviemore, we used Darren as he was recommended by a neighbour. Right from day one I knew we were in good hands. Darren was excellent at explaining the selling process, he literally did every thing for us. As Darren is local to the area he knows exactly what to say to potential buyers, he is honest, reliable and was always quick in getting back to us with any answers to questions we had.  He sold our property within a week and that was 100% down to Darren’s amazing selling skills. He made the whole process easy and at no point did we not know what was going on as Darren always kept us updated. We cannot recommend Darren from Caledonia Estate Agency enough. A huge thanks to you and your team

We bought our house through Caledonia estate agency. We found Julia and Darren to be really nice, helpful and friendly. I believe that they both really put their hearts into selling houses and they enjoy what they do as it shows in how they deal with their clients. They genuinely seemed really excited for us when we collected the keys on handover day. They did a great job from start to finish and I’d recommend getting in touch with them if you need to buy or sell a house.

Couldn’t recommend Caledonia estate agents highly enough. Darren was absolutely first class. We are from Glasgow and desperately wanted to buy in Aviemore, when we met Darren for the first viewing he was so knowledgable about the area. He simply could not have been more helpful, professional and friendly, and he made the whole process really enjoyable.
Really grateful to Caledonia for making us feel welcome, would seriously recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell. 10/10.
