Shame there is not a ZERO start ! this agent is really terrible. we used them which is completely wasted our time. I cannot believe from the manager to staff none of them are decent ! A typical Cowboy agent! They have no professional attitude, no moral , no knowledge, no Conscious . How could they run this estate agent business for so many years? Cannot imagine How many people have been suffered from their bad business attitude? They just want to take people’s money. Do not recommend this agent to sell your house !
Initially may I thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our office, I was of course very disappointed to note the contents therein. Our office prides itself on the service given and indeed receives multiple positive reviews, however I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the issues which have arisen, therefore please feel free to contact me. Kind regards, Nigel Deekes, Partner.

After making ambitious claims regarding the speed and value of the sale of our property during the first visit, Louise and her team went on to exceed expectations on all counts. Well done and thanks for a great service.
Thanks very much for your review of our Sutton office, Louise and her team are very happy to have exceeded your expectations and wish you all the best.

Amazing service in every way possible! The communication, support, friendliness, professionalism and process have all been better than we could have imagined and wanted. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Thank you so much the great review of our team at Great Barr, I gather you had struggled to sell previously with another agent, and so was even more pleased to see the team had got your house move underway. Best wishes Nigel Deekes - Partner

Acres Great Barr provided first rate service in selling my mother's house. Realistic pricing and effective advertising quickly led to an offer considerably higher than I had expected, and the staff gave outstanding support at every stage of the process.
Thank you so much for your review of the service provided by our Great Barr office, it was so good of you to take the time. It was a pleasure to have been able to assist with your mother's sale. Nigel Deekes - Partner

We decided to use Acres for ease as the people we were buying off were using them. I can honestly say it has been an absolute pleasure being looked after by them and I’m so glad we went with them. They handled the sale of our house exceptionally, setting up appointments immediately ensuring we sold in a matter of days. Moving home can be one of the most stressful experiences. Chris has had to manage me in tears on more than one occasion especially the week before moving with problems with our solicitors but I can honestly say he is one of the most hardworking individuals I’ve ever met. Nothing is too much, he dropped everything to support me with any query and always went above and beyond in keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Thank you so much Acres Great Barr!
Thank you so much for the review of our Great Barr office, and the serviced received from Chris, and the whole team, it really is appreciated. I hope you have many years of happiness in your new home, best wishes, and Merry Christmas Nigel Deekes - Partner, Acres

We used Acres Great Barr earlier on this summer to sell our property, what a fantastic service! From the moment Sharon and Chris came to value our property to the sale completing, we were kept completely informed and up to date, any questions we had were answered very quickly. It was evident they worked with our best interest in mind. I would highly recommend using them, in fact I have recommend them and believe our friends are equally as happy with the service they are receiving. Keep up the good work and and thank you for the excellent customer service.
Many thanks for your review of the excellent team at Acres Great Barr, I was delighted to hear your move went well and that the team very on top form as always. Best wishes for your new home. Nigel Deekes _- Partner.

Rushed telephone conversation today. Not at all professional. I was about to continue with what I was saying but the lady on the other end rushed me off saying 'Don't worry about it, bye' and put the phone down!!! I think some of the office staff need customer service training!!
Thank you for your comment, and feedback, I shall make a point of taking this up with the team as clearly the wrong impression was given, for which I apologise. Please feel free to call the office, or contact me directly at the Four Oaks office so I can try to help you further with your property search. Nigel Deekes Partner.

Staff were perfectly fine and friendly, particularly Kay who was very nice in dealing with my house purchase. Did struggle to get viewings booked in over the Christmas holidays due to their availability.
Thank you for your review of the Four Oaks sales office, I was pleased your dealings were good, and will of course pass on your comments to Kay. Best wishes for many happy years in your new home. Kind regards Nigel Deekes - Partner

After my first meeting with Nigel, every aspect of the sale was completed without further input from myself. Escorted viewings, prospective purchaser vetting and the actual sale all completed seamlessly and with no dramas. Faultless, thank you.
Thank you for your review of both our meeting, and the sale of your property. The team work so hard to ensure we get the best price for our clients, and to make sure that sales progress as quickly as possible. Best wishes Nigel Deekes - Partner

Some rude and abrupt staff - especially Liz, who has a terrible, arrogant attitude towards customers. So many people have reported this same thing, so why don't you address it ? Cannot recommend using Acres Four Oaks.
Thank you for taking the time to provide your review, I was very sorry to hear your comments and feedback and so have discussed the matter further with my team as of course customer service is of paramount importance to us. On rare occasions when negotiating on a purchase, complex or tricky negotiations can occur and whilst of course we always seek to act in our client’s, the owner’s best interests, this can sometimes seem at odds to any prospective purchaser’s position. Should you wish to provide any further details, then of course please do not hesitate to contact me via nigel@acres.co.uk. Nigel Deekes

I have found Acres to be extremely professional, they have kept me up to date with visits and have advertised very well. Nigel Deekes has been helpful and very informative he has a wealth of experience and is more than willing to help even in these strange times we find ourselves in. Please give them a go if your looking to buy or sell they come highly recommended.
Thank you for leaving me, and the team at Acres Four Oaks a lovely review. I am so pleased we have been able to help with your sale. Keep safe, and well. Kind regards Nigel Deekes - Partner

A professional and customer focused company who provide a excellent service throughout the sales process. Managed to negotiate our sale at full asking price so could not be happier. I have bought and sold properties with numerous estate agents over the years and would rate Acres as the best I have dealt with. Outstanding!!
Thank you so much for your review and kind comments, both I and the team at Four Oaks appreciate them. I hope you have settled well into your new home and have many happy years there. Best wishes Nigel Deekes Partner / manager Acres Four Oaks

After having our home for sale with another agent in the area for 10 weeks with no sale we decided to change agent to Acres Estate Agents. We were thrilled that within 2 weeks we had a sale. We found Acres estate agents to be very pro active, professional with regular updates unlike the other agent. Communication was also excellent. We will only ever use Acres moving forward without hesitation. Highly recommend Acres Estate Agents.
Thank you so much for your kind review and feedback, it has been a pleasure to act for you in the sale once more. I am so pleased we have been able to achieve the sale you so wanted to enable you to move to your new home. Nigel Deekes - Partner

A huge thank you to the lovely sales team at Four Oaks for all their support and advice received during the recent sale of my property. A very special thank you to Liz who was extremely pleasant and helpful throughout the entire process, providing regular updates, speaking to all involved within the chain to ensure a timely and smooth completion. I am delighted with the service that I have received from the initial accurate valuation with Nigel through to the dealings with the whole team and would highly recommend Acres.
Thank you so much for your review of the service provided by our Four Oaks office, it was a pleasure to have been able to assist with your move. I know you have settled in well and love you new home. On behalf of myself, Liz and the whole team wish you may happy years there. Nigel Deekes - Partner

After being on the market for 8 weeks with a well known on-line agent and having had very few viewings and only one offer of £15,000 below the asking price, I decided to try my local Acres office at Four Oaks. I'm glad I did! Within 2 weeks I had an offer at the full asking price and 10 weeks later the sale completed. Acres staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I had originally thought that on-line was the modern approach but I do feel that prospective buyers prefer to deal directly with a person when it comes to buying a house. Thank you Nigel, Liz and the rest of the team!
Thank you so much for your kind review and comments. I hope you have settled well into your new apartment. Thank you also for your feedback on the difference in service, approach and response / a sale between Acres and a large on line only agency. Undoubtedly local knowledge, and an extensive list of registered buyers made a real difference. Best wish Nigel and the Acres team

We would like to thank Acres for selling our house. After our first sale fell through, we were so disappointed, but Louise, Rose and Laura spurred us on to try again. They always had time for the many questions we had over the last few months. We have been in our house over 35 years and it's a big wrench to leave, but the ladies have helped it go smoothly. A huge big thank you to you all. We highly recommend you to anyone selling a property.
Hi Elaine, initially may I wish you every happiness in your new home, I hope you are settling in well. Thank you for your review and very positive feedback to the service you have received from the excellent team at our Sutton Coldfield office it really is appreciated by us all.
