Very impressed with Dean’s tenacity in securing a good buyer in this market for my mother’s property. The sale went through quickly allowing my mother to purchase a new home.

Thank you just completed on our house. Laura was very helpful and pushed things along. The only reason for one star off was the sellers solicitor should not be recommended by the agents. Thanks

Hi Ashita, thank you for your feedback and the point regarding the solicitors is noted. We are meeting them next week to iron out some concerns and appreciate there is room for improvement. Enjoy your new home.

Have just recently rented a property, and had an excellent service from a lovely lady called Steph. Nothing was too much for her, and with her contagious laugh and smile, the whole process was a breeze. Thanks Steph :)

Positive experience buying through Brian at Imagine in bushey. Would recommend using their services. Solicitors recommended made several errors, would advise not using their recommended solicitors.

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Thank you Anna good to hear Brian's experience paid dividends. Solicitors issues have been resolved, but I note your concerns and along with others this led to us recruiting a new practice. Enjoy your new home.

I have just recently rented through imagine and dealt with Mark throughout the process. I could not recommend them enough, they have been efficient and helpful throughout the process and nothing has been too much trouble. I wish all estate agents conducted themselves this way.

Excellent service, from sales to sales progression Laura Howard (Sales Progressor) was exceptional, worked really hard to get our property exchanged, Laura remained clam, professional, and above all very friendly when ever I spoke to her, the frequency of updates I received was great, exceptional communication skills

Great Estate Agents. Looking for a property with a dog is quite difficult yet Stephanie and the team really helped us to find our new house. Process is nice and simple which reduces the stress of moving houses.

I have been dealing with Laura Howard in the sales progression team, and thank goodness I was. She has been so helpful, in what has been a bit of a long drawn out affair with so many frustrations. Laura is proactive and very easy to speak to and deal with. Many a time I might have lost it, if it had not been for her. Thanks Laura

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Thank you for posting, really good to hear how Laura has made a difference to the process. We remain one of the only agents with dedicated Sales Progressors and its this sort of feedback that justifies that investment.

Imagine themselves were great. Dean at the Bushey office was topnotch and helped us find a buyer for our flat quickly and without fuss. On the other hand the convancers that they put us it touch with were very poor and I have reviewed them separately as such. But I would point out this was not the fault of imagine themselves and would still recommend using them. Just not the convancers.

Laurence · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Thank you Laurence for your candour. As on a previous review we have acknowledged this company have had a bit of a nightmare (after 10 years of a very good relationship) that’s affected some of our clients. I appreciate you noting them separately, but still apologise for the inconvenience to you. We have taken the steps to establish new set ups albeit this took a few months to finalise as it wasn’t an easy fix. Wish you all the best for the future.

Excellent service from Laura Howard who was proactive in taking the sale through to completion. She pursued everything thrown at her.,liaising with all parties to get the sale completed . I've had previous experiences of estate agents, this is the first where the agents have earnt their fee. Stewart Hall

Stewart · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Great to hear Stewart - sales take an average of 12 - 16 weeks to go through after being agreed so its vital agents have a set up to manage this period - but few do. Glad ours made a difference.

Stephanie Rapa at Imagine Bushey has been fantastic helping me find my first home as a tenant. Stephanie took care of everything with a smile and full of energy! Stephanie is a pleasure to know and made the whole process enjoyable for a newbie like me to the renting scene. Thank you Stephanie !

Imagine have been a great help with our recent move for those in the Bushey branch. Jake our lettings agent has really helped go the extra mile with any query and arrangement we have had. Friendly office staff and all documents, communications sorted by Claire again very efficiently. We had a bad experience prior with John Whiteman estate agents when renting and were offered little help, lack of communication and they were so un- organised, Imagine in comparison to that have been a breath of fresh air and totally opposite. Well informed, well organised and very willing to help! Thank you! :)

Dealing with Mark at Imagine Bushey has been a pleasure. He is a real professional who understands the needs of his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend. Not your usual pushy type of estate agents.

Sue · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Thank you for the feedback Sue. Mark is our longest serving employee and you have sen first hand why he has lasted so long in the industry. Just a decent, genuine guy in the mold we like to try and direct all our staff.

Having previously been with 3 other agents I can honestly say Imagine knocked them out of the park regarding the selling of the property. Initially having Brian round for a quick meeting, it became clear that the others had over valued hence remaing unsold without even a sniff of an offer. After receieving a bit of tough love he got me onboard and the veiwings came rolling in immediately and was notified straight away with feedback from the potential buyers. It all took a little longer than anticipated to sell but it wasnt an easy house to promote but thankfully we managed in the end. 'Dogged' is the word I would like to use to describe all the salesmen (Dean/Carl) from the Bushey Branch and without their help I truly believe the property would still be unsold. Ultimately I was taken over to Laura Howard at Watford branch to see the sale through, how she puts up with the respective conveyancers (and myself) was outstanding, I certainly couldnt do what she does with going the extra mile was amazing! Long and the short of it is that if you want your property to be sold go to Imagine, If you want an over priced home just sitting there with a board outside for ever go with one of the others. You have my heartfelt gratitude Imagine, in particular Brian, thankyou!

Bushey · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Awesome review, thank you so much. The tough love / straight talking is something we really try to hold our nerve with, but isn't easy when others may be telling you what you want to hear. I really respect the fact you could be honest about that and hope others will take note.

We used the services of Imagine Bushey having had an unlucky experience with another agent and during a difficult time in the market. At the time we opted to switch agents, I have to applaud Brian for backing himself and the team in securing a buyer for us in the short window of time we were prepared to instruct Imagine for. Others wanted to tie us in for a minimum period which after 6 months, we were not prepared to do. Within a week, they secured our buyer. It's quite apparent that Brian (& Dean to some extent) adopt more of a salesperson approach i.e. pushy, compared to their competitors but as a seller, this is exactly what you want. At the end of the day, it's a results business - if it were a personality contest other agents would probably fare better from my experience but that is not to discredit Dean's efforts, who was very pleasant to deal with. It is for all of this that the rating is attributed to and certainly not the following experience. Imagine differentiate themselves from other agents through an in house sales progression team, where you're assigned a dedicated individual who becomes a point of contact from the time the sale is agreed through to completion. In principle the idea is sound but our experience of dealing with this part of the business was anything but pleasant and made the whole process stressful. Rather than recognising us as the client, we were often made to feel as if they were seeking to serve the best interests of our buyer over us. Further, whilst on leave, a colleague provided an update which contradicted what we had been told previously and as a result I had contemplated withdrawing from the entire process with only a few weeks to go. Had it occurred half way through the process or had we not already accrued significant cost, we probably would have pulled out. I have to assume that we are in the minority in this regard as I would expect this area of the business would have been reviewed if it was proving detrimental overall. Ultimately it's this that has left an even worse impression and experience of estate agents overall, which is regrettable given Brian & Dean's efforts at the outset. I'm glad it's not something I have to engage in regularly.

Rob · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Thank you for your detailed feedback Rob. There is certainly food for thought in your comments that will be reviewed in detail. You are right to say the SP team are intended as an enhancement and not an area I often get negative feedback on - but that’s not to not respect your experience and make me reflect on how that part went wrong. Team meeting already called!! Thank you again for commenting

We had a very good response to my request for details of flats in a particular location. Dean got in touch as soon as there was a whisper of a flat up for sale, and we were able to put in an offer as soon as it was confirmed, so moved in within a few months. We were provided with some details of the flat at an early stage, to give us an idea, and were able to visit pretty quickly to get an idea of whether we liked it. We were later provided with the completed details, which were helpful for planning carpets and furniture layout etc. All of those extra little quick responses helped along the way for a smooth move. I would recommend Imagine ... I found all the staff I dealt with to be pleasant and helpful in what is always a confusing time. You could up the game by coming up with an easy check list for buyers and sellers of homes, as to what happens next and what we have to do - most of us don't move house very often and certainly can't remember what happens and who by, etc. The Concierge offer - to help transfer utilities bills etc - sounded excellent. Somehow this didn't quite happen for us, but that may have been a missed email on our part. Perhaps this is something that could be chased up with clients, especially when they are elderly and perhaps finding it tricky to keep up wiht all the activities and emails etc.>? Well done Imagine and thank you particularly to Dean.

They care more about their rubbish road slogans on their website than actual customer service or even getting their sales through to completion. Don't even know where to start with these cowboys. First they managed to push the vendor i was buying from to use one of the worst solicitors around which was basically a conveyancing "call centre" . These solicitors actually gave up with trying to get information from my freeholder meaning I then had to step in and contact the freeholder myself, after many phone calls back and fourth we finally exchanged. Day of completion came and my wife was just handed a large bunch of keys, most of which did not work and the balcony door was left unlocked without a key for it. The apartment was also full of furniture which we had asked for it to be removed on completion. When I called to speak to Brian the so called manager he was very cocky, it seemed he didn't even care and just wanted an argument, told me "well you should have checked yourself between exchange" no Brian I do not have a key and was told this was going to be done between exchange and completion. What manager raises his voice at potential future clients? I was pretty annoyed when I phoned up and instead of trying to help Brian made me even more angry, this is not a manager to me. Do yourself a favour and do NOT use this company. If you see it on with another agent then call them yourself. I had another issue with this firm back in 2010 , a leopard never changes its spots unfortunately

Daniel · 23 June 2019 · Imagine Bushey

Agent replied · 21 June 2024

Really disappointing to read your thoughts and experience Daniel. You are right to say the conveyancer we recommend (not push) had a nightmare couple of months with staffing issues that hit us hard and we can only apologise your sale was caught up in that. That doesn't make us cowboys, it meant we had a genuine problem from an outsourced third party that impacted heavily on us as a business too. In relation to the keys and furniture situation, obviously it was the departing party that had not left the property as they should have done, again not Imagine. But of course the response you receive at that moment should be appropriate and we will review that internally to ensure, whatever the frustrations, a level of tact that is warranted is given.

Very happy with our sale via imagine after switching from another local agent. We were most impressed with out of hour viewings and enthusiastic nature with getting people through the door which seemed to us make the critical difference. All members were friendly and we'll informed, especially Carl Giacone and Brian Moran. Would highly recommend

Very happy with Imagine Property. Whenever I had any issues they were resolved quickly. I had a lovely lady named Stephanie help me with my enquiries. She was very reliable and easy to contact, also very understanding! I would definitely recommend!

Thank you Azari, good to know the service continues after the deal is agreed, not just to get the deal. Its a crucial point for clients to know finding buyers and tenants is only half the job at most.

Laura Howard was fantastic during the whole purchase process of my property. We had to work to a deadline and Laura did everything she could to make sure the sale went through. Very happy with their service, communication was excellent and I would like to thank them for all their help. I would highly recommend this agent.

Thank you for the review Bernadette and we hope you enjoy your new home. As with many businesses, communication is often the key so its pleasing to hear we have that well covered off by Laura and her team of sales progressors
