Meet Our Team

Title: Truly Outstanding Service from Start to Finish As a first-time buyer at an online property auction, I found the process initially daunting. From my very first contact, however, the professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness of the team put me completely at ease. Amber Da San Martino , my main point of contact, was exceptional – knowledgeable, approachable, and always quick to respond. On the rare occasions when she wasn’t available, every other staff member I spoke to was equally helpful and professional, which speaks volumes about the whole team’s commitment to service. Their buyer’s fees are also extremely reasonable – a key factor that led me to choose this property over several others listed with Iamsold. That transparency and fairness really set them apart. So much easier in many respects than buying through an estate agent. This process was quick (56) days from winning the bid and this secured the property without all the nonsense of gazumping, sealed bids or sellers changing their mind. What impressed me most was the balance of support they provide not only to sellers but also to buyers. Purchasing a property with a sitting tenant could have felt overwhelming, but with their guidance it became both achievable and straightforward. I can honestly say I have not experienced such an outstanding level of service in decades. I would have no hesitation in recommending this auction house to anyone considering buying or selling. They truly stand out in their field as well as do the staff. Thank you Amber and Team

I had a very positive experience buying a property through Firstforauctions last month. The team were very helpful and responsive when I was getting registered to bid & had queries…from the moment I won the bid Amber Da-San Martino was all over everything, I felt very confident the sale would be fine - whereas my previous auction purchase was fairly anxiety-inducing! I do hope to see their name on more auction properties moving forward

We just completed today! Quite a complex and niche sale for a flat in Reading. The service we received from Sam Bailey and Amber Da-San Martino was superb. From the start they were very responsive and you did not have to remind them. Kept me posted on the interest level and gave me good advice on price, that was based on sound market knowledge and not emotion. Glad we built trust and I listened. If Sam was out Amber would deal with my questions. They are a good team. I think we got very good service, albeit a bit more costly than a normal sale, but it was fast and they got the job done without too much buyers malarky. I really enjoyed dealing with them both, very professional and conscientious.

I had a fantastic experience working with Daniel, Amber and the 'First For Auctions' Team on the sale of my property. From start to finish, Daniel was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to seeing the process through smoothly. His clear communication and attention to detail made a potentially stressful situation feel seamless. I'm truly grateful for the support and would confidently recommend Daniel and the team to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated property service. Thank you again! D.O

Gareth and the team were very helpful in explaining the auction process and proposing guide and reserve prices. The local branch team at Leaders managed viewings. We received and accepted a pre-auction offer.

Dan and the team offered an outstanding service. I was selling a property following a bereavement and they handled everything with compassion and consideration. As I love hundreds of miles away they were able to take final readings and answer all questions quickly. I would not hesitate in using the team again, they made the process seamless and without hiccups through their excellent communication. Thank you once again
