Failed to respond to queries. Unable to offer on two properties because they had too many offers.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism
Hi Gary, so sad you didn’t feel able to contact us about your disappointment rather than leaving this poor review. Our agents were in contact with you and told you that there were already offers on the properties and the vendor would decide if more viewings were necessary. Bear is here to sell properties and abide by the wishes of our vendors and cannot do more than that. Bear

Awful. Apparently you can't offer over the asking price of a house. No call backs, an attitude on the phone. I won't be selling my properties with this company
Hi Naomi, we understand that you are disappointed but you hadn’t even visited the property because the vendor had a buyer whom he had agreed to sell to and did not want any more viewers in these difficult times. We listen to our vendors and abide by their instructions.

My daughter rented a property from these people 6 months ago and has had issues with them from day 1 she is STILL waiting for repairs to be done by them after 4 months , she has some serious issues with the property and is sick of poor excuses and fake promises , not a fit place to live with a 2 year old toddler, avoid these dis honest people and go to a better agentsNegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Hi Andy, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have researched these issues. Your daughter has NOT been in the property for 6 months. In the time she has been there, both Bear and the landlord have responded to ALL of your daughter’s issues and spent monies to comply. We are the managing agents and can confirm this. I know you are geographically distanced from your daughter but please visit her to confirm this. Bear

We recently sold through the Southend office and made a purchase through the Leigh on sea office and couldn’t speak highly enough about both offices. Communication and attention to detail were second to none. I would highly recommend.
Hi Sam, thanks so much for this positive feedback, especially as we strive to maintain training to ensure that our Bears all communicate with each other. Thanks again, Bear

Andrew Chen-Porter has been my letting agent for over a year. Andrew is a caring professional and supportive individual. He is very much a CREDIT to Bear Estate Agents. Although Andrew is extremely busy he will always find the time to get back to you. Super Efficient. I nominate Andrew as Employee of the Year!! Well done. Keep on doing what you do and I hope you are valued. Regards Charmaine

From start to finish Megan and team went above and beyond in helping with not only the purchase of my new home, but also the sale of my previous address. The support, advice and compassion received was second to non. Thank you everyone at Bear for all you done.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Hi James, thank you for letting us know about your positive experience with Bear.. we really do try our best to support and care for our clients and this review is invaluable to us... again, thank you! Bear
4/5
Great service very trustworthy. Only issue is their payment method. I've been told all payments are done in-house and the invoice for the landlords comes 2-3 days before the payment is deposited in your account. This is my personal experience with bears so far. They are great however the rent is deposited in my account 3 days after the invoice is sent to me which is very frustrating.
Hi Abadur, Bear will certainly look at this issue for you.

We recently sold through Bear. The communication was superb, with feedback chased and given for every viewing. Even with a difficult buyer, they made sure everything went smoothly. I can't recommend Bear highly enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Difficult situations can arise when buying or selling a home and issues can make people very emotional. Thank you Jamie for keeping your cool and helping us to achieve your sale. As well as giving us this great feedback! Bear 😊 …
