I would use the agent again
- Branch:
- Property House 35 Lower Cookham Road, Maidenhead
- Services:
- Sales (as a Vendor)
I think the guys at RE/MAX do a brilliant job. The agents I dealt with were registered with the NAEA and also with the ombudsmen scheme.
I was surprised to see some bad reviews and I am a bit suspicious as to their origin, are they other agents perhaps. They are part of the biggest selling estate agency network in the world so that told me something they know how to sell houses.
I was treated with respect and always kept informed. But I suppose it is like anything in life you can always come across someone who does not give great service whether they are with RE/MAX or any other company, but at least these guys have the guts to work for themselves and invest their own money in selling my home.
The team i dealt with in Port Talbot were amazing, friendly and they were always glad to see me. And these guys work with a local charity giving over some of their commissions to help the less fortunate.
I don't normally feel inclined to write a review but I felt it necessary to balance out the negative ones I saw. Since I have been a client with the Remax office in Port Talbot I feel almost like one of their Friends and I like to stick up for my firends.

David, how lovely you are so pretilly written and you seem totally enammered, when some one mentiones remax port talbot do little bubbles in the shape of hearts rise from your quivering brow and pop playfully above your head....
1. NAEA is a fee paying membership, anyone can join with minimal knowledge.
2. Thats right, must be the pesky competition that are doing remax down, cant possibly be really disgruntled customers with a genuine reason to harbour hatred. Maybe some are both dave?
3. biggest estate agency in the world... same as 'your M&S' or 'I'm lovin' it' logo logo logo, i think you've been brainwashed dave, i mean do you go to tesco's because ' every little helps '
4. nice to hear you were treated with respect and not brutally tortured in their back office.
5. they dont have 'guts' to invest their money and they dont do it to 'sell your home' they do it because they dont see it as a scam to pay to work and they need money to pay their office. Most of these guys probably wouldn't pass a criminal check and they do for the money at remax beacuse no other agency would pay them or employ them.
6. i'm certain they were gald to see you but possibly not for the reasons you would like people to believe.
7. I'm sure they work with a local charity and donate some money to them for absolutely no advertising reward what so ever, under no circumstances would any of their charitable work or donations be done should the slightest hint of their business being mentioned in any form of press or advertisng. Come on dave, the training at remax tell them to sponsor charities, sports clubs etc as its good advertising. Even if there was some personal connection to it dont fool your self into thinking they would consider doing it annonimously
8. i suggest you are indeed one of their friends and no one would expect you not to stick up for them. Problem is some offices see comments and panic they will get tarred with the same brush. And that is true they do but quite rightly so, remax back thier system and it remains universal. If port talbot has little choice in estate agencies and the remax agents do a good honest job there then perhaps dave your job or "friends" are safe, they would however be in a minority of remax branches and perhaps they should go independant before its too late. If they need convincing get them to add up how much they pay to remax in fees etc and see how much it costs them to use the brand image, then consider how many people outside port talbot even know what remax is, tell them.... 'you can go it alone friends, you can walk without the aid of a big balloon'
