GoogleAs an estate agent of almost 30 years myself albeit in a totally different area we needed a local agent to deal with the sale of a vacant house. The care, commitment and efforts of Andrew and the team were fantastic. If you want honest, hardworking and trustworthy agents, use Andrews.

GoogleHaving enquired about a property and liaising with andrews both my partner and I were shocked at the unprofessionalism of Andrew himself who referred to my partner as “dim”, having said I was going to make a complaint to the ombudsman I was then informed the property was a family concern so the complaint would not be upheld.It appears the owner has somewhat of a superiority complex and I was glad as not to part with any money with this business, I purchased a property via another family owned estate agent which could not be faulted and was a pleasant experience from start to finish.

Hello Mr Sandland. Sorry but we haven’t a record of your name on our database. Can you confirm when you dealt with our company and which property it was in relation to please ? We take any form of criticism seriously and we look forward to you confirming your direct interaction with Andrews Estate Agents, Great Barr. Thanks you.

GoogleOur move was not without its problems but Andrews
Estate Agents were amazing. They were always supportive, professional and very approachable. Jayne went above and beyond to help us and keep us informed. I would without a doubt recommend Andrews Estate Agents with your move. I cannot thank them enough for all their hard work to finally get us in our forever home.

GoogleVery disgusted with these agents sent an enquiry about a property and bluntly replied that it was let agreed, personally I didn't see this on the website which I can apologise for but there was no need for the response and then once I replied in regards the agent then insinuated that im on benefits which I took in a very offensive way, ive never claimed benefits in my life. Do not use this agents very vile staff.

Dear Miss Mould, your only contact with Andrews Estate agents, was via email only, you have not spoken to any staff member, so your review is based on how you have perceived these emails. You enquired about a property that was already ‘LET AGREED’ (this is not unusual it often happens). We have an automated email response which is sent to all our letting enquires. It is possible (for some unknown reason), you have mis-read this email. It is the first time we have had a problem with An Automated Reply. We put these in place at the beginning of CONVID 19. In order to help us with the staff shortages. With regard to the second email, my staff replied with ‘This property is LET AGREED’, which was correct. I have tried to call you, and also left a message to explain this, but you have not returned my call.

GoogleI would not recommend this estate agents. They provide no support or guidance when 'trying' to market your property, all that is provided is an inexperienced negative service - from Andrew himself. His customer service skills require major improvement. As a client, an opinion should be voiced and Andrew being the service provider, the estate agent, should enable this. The client should be listened to, not threatened and foul mouthed. It is absolutely shocking the service which has been provided. Fortunately, we will not be giving Andrews the opportunity to experience this again. Some advice: Stay clear.

We do not know this person, Neither me or any of my staff have never spoken to her, she is not our client or on our data base. She has not signed an agency agreement contract with us. We presume that she is the partner of the vindictive person who has already commented. This is wrong that a person can comment when we have had no dealing with this person. Legally she liable for making a false statement.
I again refer to my previous comment to her vindictive partner.
There are always two sides to every story, but when a client mentions he wants a discount in fee's and giving a bad review, then you know you don't want that client on your agency books. We immediately took the property off our agency books. And wished the client the best in their future sale.

GoogleAs I set out in my first house sale i was pre warned that it could be a stressful experience , but i have to say that the best link in my chain throughout was Andrews estate agents.From the viewings they carried out for me to the exchange completion ...and after sales ,they were excellent.
Regular updates from Andrews on house viewings and general sale progression which was welcome as opposed to having to chase other parts of the chain constantly speaking to automated switchboards etc.
Wasn't put under any pressure at any point and more importantly was more than happy with the sale price I got-thank you Andrews

GoogleHaving used Andrews estate agents on more than one previous occasion, I’ve now known them for best part of 15 years professionally, I cannot reccomend their agency highly enough! Andrew and Jayne are very professional and nothing has ever been too much. Having sold two properties for me, I will defiantly be using them again in the near future. Finding a good truly local property expert, is hard to find these days. There’s lots of choice in the Great Barr area but for me, Andrews are the bets of the bunch. Keep up the great work!!!

GoogleAvoid this estate agents at all cost, Andrew himself is the problem, I only made a few queries about the property he was selling for me I was verbally insulted by him and sworn at he took my property off the market, the man has a serious attitude problem and his customer skills are attrocious, he says he has 25 years experience seems like he doesn't have 2 weeks , disastrous experience, I wish I could give it 0 stars.

GoogleI recently used Andrews Estate Agents to sell a property for me. From the time I instructed them, they kept me up to date with all the activity on the sale, either by email or telephone. When people viewed the property I was informed of the feedback given by the prospective purchasers. Once it was sold, again they kept in touch as to the progress right through to the completion date. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with any enquiries I had and if they did not know the answer they would find out and get back to me. I would highly recommend Andrews to anyone who wishes to sell their property.

GoogleAndrews helped my sister-in-law sell her home during her terminal illness, and we could not have asked for more. She was looking to move closer to the QE hospital where she was being treated. They were brilliant! Not only did we benefit from their expertise but they were friendly, caring and supportive with lots of good ideas about how to make the process go smoothly. When we came to list the property and as my sister-in-law was shielding they arranged all the viewings in one day and then managed the offer process to minimise stress. They also kept us in touch throughout the process. Thanks to their professionalism and the confidence it gave her to do this move at a very difficult time, she was able to enjoy 9 months in her new home, without the stress of long journeys for treatment. We are forever grateful to them.

GoogleI put the sale of my property in the hands of Andrews in March 2011, we had a stream of people viewing the property and it sold, sadly the sale fell through, Andrews were quick to re- market and it sold again, the same thing happened and they put it back up again. My property sold and I have found Andrew , Jayne and Liz all very helpful and informative.

The charges are very reasonable indeed in respect of renting (unlike some extortionate/'grabolicious' charges by other local estate agents whose response is automated and slow)!
Well done Andrews Estate Agents, you really are a breath of fresh air in this industry!:-)

GoogleI enquired about a property that came up to let on the day it appeared online. I had an email reply to say they'd be at the property on Saturday so I frantically tried to get through to book a viewing. I called around 15 times and nobody answered the phone, I left voice messages to call me back. I emailed back several times saying I really wanted to view the property. I had no response. Several days later I managed to get through on the phone for a lady to tell me the property had been let. I told her i had been trying to get through and she really didn't seem bothered. They didn't even give me the chance to view it after repeated attempts to get in touch. Absolutely disgusted, I emailed back to tell them how disappointed I was and received no reply. Seems they just don't care.

GoogleAndrews has now sold two properties for me, being an independent agent he seems to know his clients and their needs as both sales were sold to the persons he first thought would be interested. the first sale just two hours to SSTC the second 15 days to sale agreed.
I was kept informed of all viewings and the outcome and had it not been for Covid 19 all very painless.
I would use Andrew again to sell a property for me and to recommend him to others.
