Written by the company

Ocean Estate Agents have been selling Bristol and North Somerset 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.

Mark and the whole team were extremely helpful and very professional in handling the sale of my late brothers difficult property. When the buyer was going to pull out of the sale Mark worked with me and the buyer and went the extra mile to get to a successful completion. I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism and dedication.

Exceptional service

Jasmin has provided exceptional service with our recent rental application. All the way through the process she has been extremely responsive and helpful. We are confident that the service from Ocean Estate Agents southville will be just as excellent moving forward.

Oceans Eleven!

Went with Ocean as their reviews were good and they were local to me. Start to finish from offer to collecting keys was eleven weeks. They were brilliant!! Everything explained as we went and very straightforward to be honest. When I did have a question they answered it very quickly and took my calls when I needed to chat - speaking to mates who have moved recently that is their single biggest gripe; can't get hold of anyone when you need them. Shout out to Karen L and Sarah from Westbury-on-Trym - LEGENDS!!

Selling your home can be extremely emotional and stressful. The Ocean Bradley Stoke team are professional and compassionate. They offer a personal and supportive approach throughout the whole process. We encountered a number of obstacles which were managed incredibly well by the team. If you are considering an estate agent you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ocean

Ocean - Charlie

Charlie has been absolutely fantastic throughout the process of looking for a new home. Always on time, incredibly knowledgable, efficient and always going the extra mile to make sure we’re satisfied. I would highly recommend going through Ocean when looking to rent a new property.
