I'm just about to put my house on the market and i've had a couple of estate agents come round over the last couple of days to give me a valuation. When i told one agent that i've had hillier and wilson come round their attitude completely changed and they directed me to this website, in particular to the last negative comment. I used hillier and wilson to sell my previous property and i found them to be extremely professional and courteous. Anyone in their office i had dealings with were both approachable and informative, always giving me feedback on all the viewings which they conducted. It does concern me that anyone can leave feedback on websites without having to prove they had any dealings with an agent. Because of my previous experience with hillier and wilson i have decided to use them again for the sale of my property. They have always shown great professionalism, unlike the agent who directed me to the one negative commented posted on here.

Yes it is concerning isn't it, I find it funny how this positive comment has just appeared after my recent negative feedback, suspicious? I think it will be clear to anyone who read my previous post that someone could not make up that information and the fact that Hillier and Wilson referred to my specific case also confirms that I was indeed a customer. I think that our modest property did not perhaps warrant the extra effort that you and the other positive comments on here received. Perhaps those of you reading this that have a large house with a large price tag would probably receive a wonderful service, if you don't mind if being in-genuine. For those of us that fall more in the first time buyer bracket I strongly believe they considered us easy money and they could just get us through the process as quickly as possible, hence them pressurising us to take a lower offer after three weeks. I however prefer to deal with people that are consistently polite, not just whilst they are trying to gain your custom, but we are all different and I am happy that if nothing else I have given the people of Newbury the opportunity to decide for themselves!

Comments on Agent Fees

In this day and age women do make choices…. Maybe not in Hillier and Wilson’s business or family but certainly in mine and many of my friends. There is a law against this kind of discrimination toward me today and cannot believe that it occurred. It all started with my request to view a property that they were advertising. I was called and they stated as I was a Mrs there must be a Mr and what’s his name!?!? I found that strange but passed on my husband’s details. I then was contacted by them for a sooner viewing however when I said I would be coming alone they said I couldn’t as I needed to view with my Husband! I immediately told them that the original booking, I would have attending alone aswell. They immediately said that they’d not allow that one either, as I needed to attend with my husband! I was passed on to the equally rude male owner who then said it was a matter of lack of staff and them not wanting to do a second viewing. I promptly told him if I liked the property and offered, we’d require a second viewing anyway and he scoffed at me. Clearly showing it was, in fact that I was a woman viewing alone that they found unacceptable. Finally what made me not pursue was the male owners statement that due to my call and disagreement he would make sure only he was at the viewing and not his staff, I found this both a bullying tactic, a male chauvinistic attitude and frankly both unacceptable and intimating to say the least. Hence I didn’t book the viewing.

The most rude and unhelpful estate agent I have ever dealt with. Whenever we tried to view a property she offered us one appointment. If we couldn't make that we were faced with a brick wall. She never tried to fit us in as other agents do. She would not allow one of us to view a property ... Read Full Review

After initially meeting Tony we had good first impressions and high expectations. Well, once our house was sold STC we heard nothing. We even had to instigate viewings of other suitable properties with them; we were expecting them to give us the heads up (as they had promised). But no. As the sale ... Read Full Review

Keep us updated frequently. Advised us of suitable properties on the market. Keep to their promises.
