I feel this is a really unusual review as in any other situation I would never consider leaving an estate agent a review. A property came up for sale by Simon & Co which ticked all the boxes, it felt like the dream home and all the excitement that comes with "its the one!!!!!!" As a first time buyer, I had no clue of the process really and only had the experience of a previous flat purchase not working out. This is where is gets interesting... what followed was a whole series of weird events mainly covid related where the seller requested more time or wanted to isolate / not allow viewings etc because he was elderly and family were concerned about him getting covid. I waited for 6 months for the seller to get his stuff sorted, calling Simon for updates weekly... I wasn't sure if he hated me by this point or he was hating the seller? I put in a great offer way in excess of asking, unfortunately it was beaten by another offer. On other properties, your heart sinks, you question if the estate agent has done something dodgy and it just feels wrong... not this time, I absolutely knew by all the communications that Simon had been fair, everyone had a chance and on this occasion I was fairly beaten, it just didn't leave that weird feeling... I was fairly outbid and it wasn't to be, hard to explain however I hope you know what I mean. The reason I am leaving this review is because since then I have dealt with so many agents which seem so shady, I actually called Simon and asked for some advice on the house I have now purchased with another agent. Even though Simon wasn't the agent, he advised me on the whole process and helped with some recommendations. What other agent would do that???? I wish the commission was going to him instead. I wholeheartedly believe Simon is one of the few honest and trustworthy estate agents amongst a whole load that just make you feel uneasy about the whole process. I'm sure that will be very transparent and obvious to anyone who speaks with him as he was simply leagues above any of the other agents I dealt with. I look forward to the day when I use him to handle the sale of my place when I wish to move on.
