It’s been a pleasure using IDEAL estate agents , I used this company to purchase a home and then sell my other property, from the first meeting and in the first 5 minutes , I new I made my mind up to go with IDEAL , all the staff members are friendly and professional, and Ive got to say Rhiane is so personal and professional in every aspect of her job, I would recommend IDEAL estate, to anyone, they have been fantastic in what they do. Well done! From a very happy customer.

All the team at ideal have been fantastic from start to finish. We called in on a Saturday afternoon to discuss selling our house, they had it up for sale 2 days later and we had 2 offers in the first 2 days at our asking price. They called us regularly to update us on our the process and we’re always happy to help us in anyway. We had an issue with our buyers solicitor a couple of days before completion and the team at ideal were calling them daily to rectify this. We have now completed on our sale and are so pleased how ideal have dealt with us throughout. Thank you Helen, Shelley and Rhiane for all your support!

This is the second time I have used Helen and her team at ideal estate agents to sell my houses. I have received excellent service both times , selling both properties within a few days of going on the market. I would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use them again if I needed to .

My experience with the Ideal Estate Agents has been smooth, efficient, and straightforward. The purchase of my property was completed within just two months from start to finish. At every stage of the process, the team was proactive, responsive, and always willing to communicate clearly, taking the time to explain anything I did not fully understand. I am extremely grateful for their support and professionalism, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking an estate agent.

Chosen Ideal Estate to sell our property with, as I like to support small local businesses. Helen & Michelle were great to communicate with and very knowledgeable within their field of business. Took some great photos & videos of our house. And promoted it on all social media platforms as well as rightmove. Kept me upto date with all aspects of the sale. And always at hand if needed any information myself. Great all round service. Would highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️

Went to view a property that was listed with ideal estates. Helen arranged the viewing for us after we explained the type of house we were after. From submitting our offer having Helen gave us guidance and she was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Helen is totally down to earth, helped us navigate the jargon and made the purchase so easy to deal with. I'd happily recommend Ideal Estates 👌

Just wanted to let people know, what a gem of an Estate Agency there is in Woodlands, Carcroft, Adwick-le-Street and beyond Ideal is. Helen and her team were there every step of the way when I was selling my property, from giving advice on what work needed to be done before it went to market and what was happening whilst it was going through the sales process. Would not hesitate to use Ideal again or recommend.

Truly could not recommend Ideal enough! From the point where we wanted to view the property and up to the completion date they were absolutely fabulous. Shelley was so kind and helpful to us, we can’t thank Ideal enough for their help. We had an absolute nightmare when searching for properties due to slow estate agents, but Ideal were incredibly quick and helped us buy our new home. We are over the moon! I will absolutely be recommending their service to any other people who are searching for homes. Thank you so much! ❤️

What can I say. Fantastic service levels. I made a number of visits to the property before committing and Ideal Estates were truly accommodating. All of my calls were answered promptly and professionally and the communication between lawyers was exceptional. Very happy with the service and would use them (Will) again in the future. Thanks Helen and your amazing team.

Dreadful Customer Service and totally unprofessional had a viewing booked for over a week for a rental property and took a day off work to be able to view this property in Skellow , Doncaster . I drove from Barnsley also in the heat, on arrival there was no one there. I contacted the company to be told that it had already been rented out and told they had left a voicemail that morning advising of this. After checking my phone they had left a voicemail at 2.30 pm (2 hrs before my appointment ) but the voicemail was blank. The woman I spoke to at the agency called Rachel was not apologetic at all and very matter of fact about it... this is the second time we have had an appointment with them for 2 different properties and been told it’s already gone before the viewing but this time with only 2 hrs notice I feel it was not acceptable ... really disappointed in their serviceNegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Hi Max. I am sorry to hear this, the market for rentals is very active and we can have over 40 emails in a day requesting information / viewings for rental properties and due to high demand we have to let people down at the last minute. I would like to correct you as we do not have a Rachel working with us and never have. I hope you have now found a property and wish you well.

Brilliant estate agents. Really quick from having the valuation done then pictures done and on the market the same day. Couple of viewings the following day and our house was sold 😊 but also Helen was always at the end of the phone every time we needed advice about solicitors, buying our new house etc. Any questions or anything we didn’t understand she was always there for advice. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Helen and everyone else at ideal, you’ve been brilliant.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Exceptional estate agents, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. The process was definitely helped by Rhiane, Shelley and Helen, without their input and help I would have found the process daunting. I would and will highly recommend for anyone needing the services of a local and friendly estate agents.

I can't thank Ideal enough- the first time selling a house, I was nervous and didn't know how long the process would take. Helen gave an honest valuation and knew we had another property we wanted to pursue so got the ball rolling quickly for us. We had 5 viewings booked within 48 hours and an offer of full asking price by day 3 (great work by Rhiane) we would not hesitate to use ideal again!

Having not bought or sold in 24 years this whole process turned me into a neurotic mad woman. Helen kept me on the straight and narrow giving me good advise and believing in my property. She really knows what she’s talking about and dealt with the many hurdles that came thick and fast during my very short time on the market. There is a happy ending . A real starPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

A big thank you to Helen, Shelly, Sarah and team for guiding us through our house sale. Ideal Estates are a very professional team with a friendly approach. We found other agents tried to over complicated the house selling process, but with Ideal Estates everything was easily explained and any anxieties allied. They have an excellent knowledge of the local area which was a great help. When we needed advice, Helen or one of her team would either be at the end of a phone or call us back very quickly.  They kept us informed at every step.  Thank you for finding us such a lovely family to make the sale.

Cannot recommend Ideal enough! The Ladies are just amazing. We had a year of stress selling our house but these ladies put their heart and soul into getting our forever home. Though we won’t be looking for another house anytime soon I would always use ideal.

Ideal estates were great and I'm glad I chose them. They quickly gathered a lot of interest and achieved a sale price I wasn't sure I'd get. Their service throughout the whole process was excellent. The only downside was that they don't have an office to cover Barnsley.

I have recently purchased a property through Ideal Estates and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely helpful and professional, even when unexpected issues came up. Towards the end, I was calling almost daily with questions and updates, and they always responded promptly, patiently and without complaint. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
