All my dealings with Masson Cairns over the past 20 years have been good. I would recommend. The property department are going through a bit of a reset just now but I am sure they will emerge well.

We used Masson Cairns for two purchases (the first never completed due to the start of the pandemic!) based on their quick, professional responses when initially getting quotes. Annike continued to provide excellent service and advice, so we went back to them when we put in an offer on a second property a year later. They've been extremely reliable, and provided good advice. They also managed to hit some pressurised, extremely important, deadlines so that we could transfer on the initially agreed handover date, for which we are extremely grateful. No hesitation in recommending.

Critical: Quality, Responsiveness Travelled a long way to see a property, only to be told that there was a closing date the next day. Nobody bothered to tell me.

I genuinely can't say enough good things about Kate and her team at Masson Cairns. They've been an absolute delight to deal with for our Inverness house sale/purchase and have gone above and beyond to make sure things happened smoothly. The whole thing was handled very professionally but at the same time in a very friendly manner. Communication was excellent, we were kept informed and guided at every step of the way. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Have dealt with Scott and his team a few times and their down to earth, friendly and efficient service means I will use them in the future for buying or selling purposes.

Very poor service. Didn't bother telling us of a closing date despite having viewing arranged.appreciate you responding to me review but you should have informed all viewers, not just those with notes of interest. Not bothered about the dump of a property anyway so it's not about missing out. It's about having the courtesy to tell someone who is travelling a long way to do a viewing that the closing date is the following day! Thanks :

After months of searching for our home in the Highlands we found the perfect place with Masson Cairns. They made sure that everything went without a hitch, even with our need to move rediculously fast. The welcome hamper was brilliant as well.
