Very arrogant and not fair, they only sell good investment houses to those who can benefit slades personally regardless of buyers or sellres interest.

Report
Dale and company have evoked very polarised reviews. He sells the most properties on the estate and has the only agents office on the estate. I have found them to be professional, efficient and successful. He spent time discussing the valuation with me and was on par with the other agents I contacted. He listened and agreed with our circumstances to place the property on the market at slightly less than he felt could potentially be obtained but still at a good price.
He found my buyer very quickly, negotiated and increased his offer, authenticated the buyers information and invested time taking him around the property multiple times after the offer was accepted. Before placing with Dale I challenged him on his reviews. He is forthright and unapologetic for the service he provides. He works for the seller/ lettor and as such his duty is to them. As such he will challenge information provided to ensure his clients interest. This can cause upset if someone is exaggerating. I would recommend Dale and Co to any seller who wants a good outcome and any buyer who can prove there position and is willing to pay market value.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality Extremely rude and disrespectful behaviour dealing with Dale! After referencing went through they said property is for sale instead and then relisted it for rent. Unprofessional.

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness I cannot believe how rude, arrogant and unprofessional they turned out to be. They came across extremely passive aggressive and in the end we retracted all offers we made on the property because of the way I was treated. Will never buy a house through this EA.

Critical: Professionalism The branch manager/ owner of the branch doesn't know how to talk with respect and was rude. He never managed to arrange the viewings for which he agreed and put us off the properties we were interested in purchasing. Very unprofessional!

Report
Critical: Professionalism, Quality Absolutely horrendous, emailed about a potential property and didn't get a reply so decided to phone up about it, the man on the phone was so rude, not even listening to our answers. The man needs to learn some customer service skills first rather than shouting down the phone.
