I am a first year student who contacted the company in the autumn term of 2015 to discuss the market for a rental property for the academic year from September 2016. I dealt with Satnam and found him to be rude, unprofessional and did not seem to listen. My friends and I were only making initial inquiries and were told by Satnam that we needed to book soon as properties would be flying and we would end up without one (despite it being approx 10 months before we would need the property). Naturally, I spoke to a number of other agents who said we needn't consider properties until late spring/early summer 2016 as the market in Greenwich is very fast. Satnam on the other hand continued to put pressure on us to look at and book properties immediately. Despite informing him of our price range he continued to select properties which were almost double what we had asked for. Simply telling us our budget wasn't realistic when it was actually inline with average market value, then he continued to try and view those properties "because we would fall in love with them" as if suddenly we would be able to afford them. He cancelled several viewings last minute and lied on multiple occasions as friends were also asking the same as I was but being told different completely different things. Satnam was very pressurizing and I found him to be aggressive at times. Even after we decided to stop looking with Reiss-Samuels (because we did not trust him and felt uncomfortable due to Satnam's aggressive and pressurizing behavior) he would continue to call me so frequently I had to block his number. I have also spoken to a number of students who have had great problems dealing with Satnam and was advised to steer clear. My friends and I are just thankful we experienced all this before we were desperate for a house and had signed a contract and been trapped like others. No doubt Satnam will read this and say I am "jealous" or "malicious" as I have seen with the other negative reviews but I am in fact thankful I no longer have to deal with him.
Comment on agent fees
Thankful we never got this far.
