Artistry Property Agents Bedford reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We worked with Barney on the purchase of our house in Bedford recently. Barney was fantastic. Very knowledgable and supportive. Really liked that he talked to both of us. I tend to be the one who leads, so very pleased that Barney spent time in his replies addressing both of us, rather than just me. Great to see him naturally and warmly ‘read the room’. He has a great relationship with the people we were buying from also, so this ensured we were all well kept up to date with everything happening. Would highly recommend Artistry to anyone moving to or within Bedford.

From the moment Barney came to see us to provide a valuation for our home, it was clear to us that Artistry wasn’t your typical Estate Agency. Extremely professional, passionate, knowledgeable and honest, Barney has provided a refreshing service throughout the selling process. The glossy brochure created by Barney and his team was extremely professional and developed with thought and care. So much so, that we questioned why were moving - we fell in love with our home again! As soon as we had sold, and through the most stressful part of the process, Barney supported us by providing expert advice, showing empathy throughout and especially when things got difficult, open and clear lines of communication at all times, making things easier from the moment he first met with us through to completion. Yes, moving house can be one of the most stressful things to do but with Barney acting as your agent, you can rest assured that you will always be kept informed and trust that Barney will act with honesty and integrity. We can’t thank Barney enough for this and would highly recommend Artistry if you are thinking of moving home anytime soon.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

From day one we were impressed with Barney's attention to detail and his considered approach to the sale of our property. The team at Artistry did an excellent job preparing the brochure and communicating with us throughout the sale. We were one of six properties in a chain. Nothing was too much trouble for the team, and the entire sale through to completion was as smooth and stress free as possible. We would not only highly recommend Artistry but also most definitely use them again.

We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Artistry Properties. Barney is an impressive character: knowledgeable, professional and with great attention to detail. We at once felt our house sale was in safe hands and from the outset he gave us a realistic expectation of what our house might achieve in terms of it value. He was prepared to go the extra mile to present our home in its most favourable light, even offering to turn the heating on before potential buyers were to visit. Barney kept us well informed throughout the process and produced a beautifully photographed and well written brochure. He made a huge impression on us both and we wish him continued success with Artistry. Karen & Derek

I cannot thank Barney enough for all his dedication to selling our property. His business ethic really is first class. He was a pleasure to work with, friendly yet professional. Barney took time to understand our property. He accompanied every viewing and offered a truly bespoke hands on service. I have no hesitation in recommending him. And should the need arise for us to move again I will be appointing him without question.

Wow is the first thing that comes to mind. An actual estate agents that you can trust and rely on. Barney and his team are very professional and dedicated to their job and you, their client. Barney was always there to answer any queries. He sold our house within a couple of weeks of it being on the market. Should we ever need to sell or buy, Barney will be our first point of call.

The true professional nature of Barney (Artistry Properties) is that he found a buyer, without advertising our property. The buyer had a family member who had previously bought via Artistry Properties and thus created a professional relationship. Barney is very open and honest with what he feels can be achieved through the sales process and not simply allowing us (the seller) to get carried away with stupid valuations so often part of Estate Agency. Barney, is highly professional and a great communicator. We were nervous about engaging any agent to sell our property as it had been in the family for over 50 years, however Barney was empathetic and very open with his critique of our property. Very impressed with the service offered and experienced. Highly recommended

I would thoroughly recommend Artistry Property Agents to friends and relatives. Barney was always professional and kept us up to date during viewings and throughout the sale process. The brochure produced was superb and I loved the insightful details in the property description. With Artistry, you will not simply be just another faceless customer, but instead will actually feel that your sale matters to them.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Artistry Properties is a refreshing change from the usual service that is offered by high street estate agents and will reassure you that estate agents can be honest, straight forward and reliable! Barney Coles is both professional and efficient, but most importantly operates transparently and gives both buyers and sellers realistic expectations of what they might achieve and how quickly they might achieve it. His rates are also very competitive and he comes highly recommended.

Barney has been a delight to deal with throughout. He provided us with several tips to ensure our property was presented professionally ready for sale and always accompanied all bookings. He is knowledgeable and attentive - always returning phone calls promptly and providing support and information. We were delighted with all aspects of the service - exactly what an agent should be like.

I've read all the previous reviews and agree entirely. Barney is the antithesis of an archetypal estate agent: he's a guy you feel you can trust absolutely. He will not sugar-coat and acts as an honest broker between vendor and buyer, when the time comes. He is professional, calm and very hard-working, but always with an easy charm and good humour. We would recommend him unreservedly.

Absolutely perfect! Louise showed us around and was not only knowledgeable about the property, she seemed to be genuinely interested in us and our requirements. Louise made us want to buy the house! She is a real rarity, a total asset to the company. Promote her!!!

I cannot recommend Barney and his team at Artistry highly enough. Having used other agents a couple of years ago with less than desirable results & service. This time we wanted a personal and professional service and this is exactly what you will get. A friendly, personal, professional service from every aspect of selling your home.PositiveProfessionalism

Artistry is easily the best estate agent I have ever dealt with and if we were to decide to move then they are the only agent we would consider. Barney and Deanna are extremely professional in their approach. They are responsive, courteous, considerate and honest in their communications. They acted on the sale of a house to us and were evidently the most proactive agent in the chain when it came to driving the process forward towards exchange and completion. They are also genuinely nice people to deal with and made the process as smooth as possible for us. Thank you, Barney and Deanna, for all of your excellent support. Virginia

From initial discussions and preparation of the brochure to eventual exchange of contracts, the team at Artistry, Barney, Deanna and Louise, has been efficient, professional, considerate and friendly. They have supported and encouraged us throughout and Deanna in particular has kept a constant eye on all properties in the chain and the stages they were at, in order to keep us well-informed. We are delighted that we chose Artistry to sell our house and heartily recommend them to others who would like to experience the same excellent level of service.

Our much loved house was a large Victorian house in the town full of original features and much loved. We spent a long time deciding which agent was the right fit. I am so glad that we chose Artistry. We came across them when we were doing viewings with our son and we were immediately impressed by the way they promoted their properties and conducted the viewing - this was exactly the kind of approach we wanted for the sale of our own home and it was just a couple of months later that we instructed them. From the wonderful write up and photographs /videos to the very last viewing they updated us constantly. This team is just the loveliest you could hope to meet. It took a little while for us to sell as we expected it would for such a large home and throughout the whole time their enthusiasm never waned. Once sold they remained very involved all the way through to completion day. I have sold many houses over the years , personally and professionally and I have to say that this team at Artistry go above and beyond. I recommend them wholeheartedly

I cannot praise Barney and Deanna enough: they achieved asking price on our house, in a difficult market, and conducted themselves throughout with immense professionalism and charm. They are a small team, but so responsive that it works in the client's favour and you receive a very personal service. My first call to their office only got their ansaphone, which promised to call me back within two hours: when they were absolutely true to their word I knew it was a good sign. And so it proved; Barney spent real time with us at the start of the process finding out about the house and what we were trying to achieve, and once we had our final buyer the whole process was handled brilliantly by Deanna and we were kept informed every step of the way; they got us from offer to completion in just seven weeks. I highly recommend Artistry if you are looking for an intelligent, supportive, grown-up agency to sell your house. Lovely people too!
