I wish I had read some of the reviews about Connells before I agreed to let them try and sell my house. While the property market is abysmal in some parts at present, I had zero viewings and zero interest in 6 weeks, despite dropping the price. I was horrified to find that the office selling my house had no out of hours cover or even an answer phone, so prospective buyers had no way to contact if the office was busy or unmanned.
I asked the agency to provide evidence of what they had done to try to sell my property but they failed to acknowledge this request, though they did receive it as it was at the same time as providing updated photographs which they also did not use, but did refer to in further communications.
I asked a friend to ring up with a fairly specific property search, listing virtually my house without specifying the address, yet Connells did not even mention my house, despite my having gone to see them two days prior to say that I needed them to take any opportunity to sell, even if that meant negotiation on the price.
When challenged about this, the staff were rude and would not accept they were wrong, what happened to the customer is always right? All they could say was that they had recommended a price lower than my asking price and if I wanted to sell I should drop the price further, yet they would not accept that if they didn't think they could sell it at my asking price, they should not have agreed to take my money and try selling it at that price.
Connells need to learn customer service skills and how to earn their money instead of relying on the Internet to do their job for them.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Accepted liability for their inaction and provided a documented action plan to sell the property. Earn their money instead of relying on the Internet to do their job for them.
