FacebookI had my 2 Bed Flat on the market for a number of months with a so called "big high street" Estate Agent. After nominal interest and activity I decided to give Bees Homes a shot - 5 viewings in first few days and sold within 2 weeks. Scott and Ana were fantastic throughout, not just getting the sale on the board but managing the after sale process too. Could not recommend them any higher.

Dear Stephen thank you for your kind words and for trusting the sale of your property to us. As "Property Matchmakers" the Bees Homes team strives to present a property in its optimum condition so we attract genuine buyers. And as you highlight, "...managing the sale process..." is a critical component of our 5 stages. Thx again for taking the trouble to comment.

GoogleAna from Bees Homes was amazingly helpful from start to finish. At short notice she was able to arrange a viewing for my mum (!) as we were buying from overseas, she deftly handled a sensitive time delay as we were arranging our finances, she filmed a walk through for us so we could view the property without being in country and popped round on the day we moved in with a goodie bag of local produce. We are now settling into our new life all thanks to a class act from Bees Homes.

Dear Mike (and Sarah) thank you for your kind words. Buying a house while in situ in this country is stressful enough for most. That stress is amplified when you are relying on family and virtual viewings to help select your home. Thank you for noting the effort we put in to accommodate you as an overseas buyer, to manage the potential sensitivity around financing the purchase and the Bees Homes "welcome you into your new home" bag. Ana & the Bees Homes Team

Bees Homes were the managing agent for a rural Sussex property that we purchased recently. Ana and her team were a pleasure to deal with despite the usual stress involved in moving home. From day 1 Ana showed a natural ability to detect that we were genuine keen buyers and from there steered us down the path to successful completion. Thanks a million! Highly recommended.

Gary it is rare to receive accolades from both a client and a buyer. Finding a buyer for higher end properties requires a willingness to spend time understanding their aspirations and matching your client's property to them. For us a win / win is a happy client AND a happy buyer. When we achieve that we are delighted. We hope you are enjoying your lovely rural home. Ana and the Bees Homes Team

TrustpilotBees Homes are Number One for Service
Ana and her team at Bees Homes can not be matched when it comes to professionalism, friendliness, efficiency, and helpfulness. I was the buyer in the process, but Ana did her upmost to make it all as smooth and stress-free as possible. Bees Homes is a breath of fresh air in the stale world of estate agency, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

TrustpilotSale of our unique property
We had our property on the market with another agent for 9 months! We then had a letter from Ana contacted her and found the approach that Bees put forward was very different to a "standard" estate agent. We met with Ana who explained how they work which was different but in a positive way. A lot more time was then spent on preparing a great brochure and presenting to potential buyers a "lifestyle" at the property, rather than just bricks and mortar. Ana had viewings very quickly and fantastically got us a great offer after 3 weeks! Having had some very strange "potential buyers" from the previous agent it was great to get a good genuine buyer that Ana had thoroughly checked out! So the sale went through following our acceptance of the offer which was practically at the asking price! The previous agent just kept saying to reduce the price which we had already done! Ana did a great job and did detailed research on the area and advised us to go at the original price. All great to hear and it worked! Would definitely recommend Bees Homes, just be prepared for a different but very effective approach!

Dear Graham, thank you for taking the time to reflect on your experience with us. It was particularly gratifying to see your observations on the differentiator with the way your previous agent worked. Matching a prospective buyer to the right property is more than calling up names on a database. It's about creating a lifestyle / story that matches their (often unsaid) criteria. Getting their interest in the first place is, as you note, about presenting a property to its optimum potential which is why we take the time to get it right. Yours was a genuinely unique home and all of us at Bees Homes wish you well in your new life in the Cotswolds.

TrustpilotA professional and friendly service
Having recently completed our house sale with Ana and her Team at Bees homes I have no hesitation in giving them a 5* review. They worked relentlessly in the background to get us the best price and most importantly to keep the process moving forward. I feel the chain would very likely have broken without the determination of the team.
So, if you have a quirky house with some history this is the agency to use. Bees will treat your home with the attention to detail you used to create it and you as an equal partner in the transaction rather than a commodity to be exploited.

FacebookAna helped us to buy a property. She was excellent in every way. The first time we viewed the property was on a bank holiday Monday - she was always available! The property we bought was a project so we needed access to it to be able to put together costings. Ana was so very helpful, always accommodated our workmen so that they could give us a price, she even recommended the builder who we have now decided to use. I would recommend her to anyone.
