FacebookHelen went over and above in dealing with the sale of my property as it turned out to be very difficult but we got there in the end due to her persistence .
She always got back to me when I called which I generally find does not happen with a lot of other agents in the sales progressing departments.
You have a lady there that gets the job done!

GoogleHad the pleasure of meeting Jamie Sewell, Basildon branch of Bear. Jamie did a valuation for us. We were impressed with Jamie's professionalism and sensitivity. He was non pushy, clear, knowledgeable and respectful. To be frank, it was refreshing. Thank you Jamie

FacebookSold our Flat with Bear a month ago- amazing experience from the moment I rang to book a Valuation and Frankie gave us so much advice- such a lovely guy, to when Kyle came to value it through to the day of completion. Kyle is a genuine, friendly and helpful guy who works so hard for his business. Sydney, Progress Chaser was wonderful- such an efficient, lovely girl- who was on top of everything for us. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Bear to anyone and will do so. We will use Bear in the future when we are looking for a new property or selling. Thank you Team Bear- you’re all amazing!

FacebookOK, so when you looking at estate agents and your weighing up your options.....this decision is a no brainer!! Don't be concerned that Bears 2 price options are 'too cheap' and you won't get the level of service or coverage compared to the other 'more expensive' estate agents. Since working to sell my property with Kyle and his team this summer, I found everyone at Bear to be highly professional, super friendly and totally motivated. They provided me with whatever it took to sell my property and get us over the finish line, which was at times, above and beyond! Ask yourself one question, why pay more?? Your get nothing else for it......tried and tested. Your welcome. �����

TrustpilotI had a disappointing experience with…
I had a disappointing experience with this estate agent. After waiting over 5 months for the vendor to provide a building certificate requested by my lender, they withdrew as soon as I began the process of arranging inspections to be carried out. The boiler hadn’t been serviced in years, despite the negotiator, Jack, assuring me during the viewing that it was 'regularly serviced.' My buyer’s report recommended I conduct checks, as the only boiler record was from 2010, back when I was still in secondary school! Once the report was provided to me end of August 2024, I immediately worked to get the inspections booked in with the agent. I was informed that the vendor was unhappy as I had my mortgage offer since end of July 2024. I informed the agents that my conveyancer has completed their due diligence and strongly advised I get these inspections done before exchange. Exchange which I was positive would be set to take place by latest end of September pending the inspections all coming back clear. When I raised this, Joe, the managing director, remarked, 'Your conveyancer should have advised you to do this check sooner,' which came across as both unprofessional and condescending. To top it off, the vendor has now relisted the property with a £35k price increase. The behaviour from both the vendor and the agent felt like pure intimidation and bullying.

FacebookI cannot thank Joe, Helen and Sydney enough. From the first valuation of our property, Bear were friendly, helpful and always contactable. Despite having a slow chain above, Bear kept us updated throughout and helped push our sale through.
We were so impressed with Bear’s personal approach we have already recommended them to our friends!
Thanks again guys!
