I would never use another agent! Sean came out to value our house and had it to market and sold within 48 hours. We knew we could have held out for more viewing and more money, but Sean was aware that we had a dream home ...

I definitely do not recommend renting with ORiordan.
They do everything to look good before they get their money, but after it's like you don't even exist.
They have no interest in helping or treating their customers with respect. Emails never get a response, and ...

Avoid them as they will lie to you, mislead you and cause endless amounts of stress, which what they did to me whilst being heavily pregnant. They don't care about their customers, only a quick sale. All staff are rude including directors, to the point where trey will have you in tears. Never have I ever experience such service. I'm I. The process of taking then to the Ombudsman services as they've even failed to respond to my complaint ...

AWFUL SERVICE NEVER RENT WITH O'RIORDAN BOND.
The manager of the Weston Favell branch found it appropriate to stand shouting and pointing her finger at my parents and partner when they were trying to rectify this situation. I've never dealt with anyone in authority who ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
As soon as the manager saw the state the house had been left in she should have helped us to find somewhere else. If she had done this straight away rather than lie to us, tell us the house was sorted when it wasn't, and then become so aggressive and vile towards all of us then we would have been happy customers. The funny thing is we found another house with O'Riordan Bond in the midst of all this mess which if she'd have showed us we would have probably moved straight in to! (and it was more money!), but after this I would NEVER do business with them ever again and am advising everyone I know to do the same. Don't lie to your customers, don't shout at your customers.Attached Filesnbsp;

We were selling our house through O'Riordan Bond and initially were pleased as we had a prospective buyer very quickly. However, it took over 3 months for us to come to an actual sale agreement (bearing in mind there was no chain either side!) and we ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have been more honest and told us the actual position we were in with the house, rather than emailing me on a Friday at 5.30pm scare-mongering me for a whole weekend into thinking we had to make an instant decision on whether to purchase the house. We actually had at least 4 weeks before they were able to market the property because we were in the middle of a tenancy agreement. Then the inpersonal telephone calls that were bullying & stressful made the whole process incredibly tough. This was completely unnecessary as all the decisions on price, time scale etc had been agreed by us directly with the seller and all of us including our solicitors were satisfied with the progress. At no point did I feel like the estate agents were working with me, but were always fighting hard for the other side, when I'm not even sure that the other people wanted them to do it. Try some customer service next time please. If this was a shop or a service you can cancel half-way through the process I would definitely have done it but unfortunately they completely have you locked in with their contracts.Attached Filesnbsp;

Don't take out your anger and frustartion on your clients. Things happen out of peoples control, and even if you don't get your precoius commission, you could make so much more money and gain greater job satisfaction from posative feedback through satisfied customers. You really let your self down on this one. .Please learn from this.Attached Filesnbsp;
