      sublime from start to finish
      Leo Parry - October 2022

      Bear Estate Agents have been sublime from start to finish. I've been in close contact with Jack Manning & Megan from the Leigh On Sea Branch and Sydney from the Southend On Sea Branch. All of them have given me a 5* service and I couldn't be happier. A big thanks to Bear for everything and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property. THANK YOU, Leo

      finding us a buyer so quickly
      Andrea Kirk - September 2022

      A big shout out to Rob at Bear for successfully marketing my late fathers property and finding us a buyer so quickly. Helen in the Sales Progression team was amazing in keeping the solicitors on their toes - without her help things would have dragged on a lot longer! Everyone that I spoke to at Bear was always helpful and friendly and calls/emails were always answered in a timely fashion. Thank you all!

      over and above in dealing with the sale
      Caroline Malik - June 2022

      Helen went over and above in dealing with the sale of my property as it turned out to be very difficult but we got there in the end due to her persistence. She always got back to me when I called which I generally find does not happen with a lot of other agents in the sales progressing departments. You have a lady there that gets the job done!

      helped me find a buyer in a difficult market
      Dipayan Chakraborty - March 2022 

      I have been with Bear for more than a year now. They helped me to find the right buyer for my flat in a difficult market. I've found everyone I've interacted with (Rob, Sidney, Helen and the team) to be very friendly and professional. I am currently in the process of buying my new home through them too. So far I have received a similarly high level of service, so watch out for my next review once my purchase concludes!

      worked tirelessly
      Tony Kemp - March 2022 

      Bear's were brilliant in selling our house. Not without its stressful moments when our buyers pulled out just before exchange due to poor health, Bear's put it straight back on the market where it sold the next day. The whole team were fantastic but particularly Helen who worked tirelessly thus keeping the chain together Thanks to Jack for the great photos and to all the team in general. Plus moving day went smoothly. Would recommend Bear's!

      best agents I've ever used
      Colin Stevens - October 2021

      I've bought/sold many properties and I can honestly say that Bear are the best agents I've ever used. Everything they promised has been completed on or ahead of time and I felt very comfortable that they were doing their best for me. Once the sale was agreed, Ellie was excellent at keeping us informed of progress and even pointed out a 'log jam' within our solicitors that I was able to action before it delayed things. Overall, a very satisfactory experience and I would have no hesitation in recommending Bear to others.

      we sold our house in less than a week
      Keen Crowhurst - October 2021

      After 3 years of searching we finally found the bungalow we were looking for and contacted Bears to sell our house. They advertised our house, arranged multiple viewing on a single day and we sold our house in less than a week. They negotiated with our sellers and we bought our new house the every next day. Throughout the moving process, Helen at Bears kept us up to date with the documentation progress of all the parties right up to the day of completion. We were very pleased with all the help we received and would highly recommend Bears to sell your home.

      couldn't ask for more
      Becca Greenlees - October 2021

      We sold our property with Bear Estate agents and was really happy with the experience. Firstly we had Jack come round to value the property and take some photos for us. Jack was polite, professional and friendly and took lovely photos for us - couldn't ask for more! Once the property was on the market we had Ellie as our main point of contact throughout. Ellie really is an outstanding member of the bear team and they are lucky to have her on board. Ellie kept us updated throughout the whole sale process (which went on for quite a while!) Ellie worked so hard keeping everything going for us, she worked tirelessly emailing and calling solicitors for us. I would recommend Bear to anyone who is looking to sell their home!

      Geoff Gould - July 2021

      communication with all of the team was brilliant
      Victoria Rowley - July 2021 

      My house had been on the market with another agent for several months and hadn't sold. After a couple months break I decided to put it back on with Bear. I almost immediately got enough interest to do a bulk viewing and had a buyer within the first week.

      Right from the start the communication with all of the team was brilliant. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Frank was my main contact throughout and was just amazing. When my first buyer pulled out, he was so positive that we would find another buyer, which we did very quickly. I can't recommend them enough

      reassuring friendly and extremely responsive
      Jane Bryan - July 2021 

      I recently sold my property in Upminster via Bear and found them to all to be very friendly and helpful particularly Frank who I spoke to frequently. Helen Wilson who is the sales progresser at Bear was absolutely fantastic and really helped so much with keeping me informed advising me of progress and providing advice ( and letting me he know what the solicitor hadn't yet done so we were able to chase )Helen was brilliant and without her I really don't think the sale would have gone through before the stamp duty deadline Helen was informative, reassuring friendly and extremely responsive and I can't thank her enough for her help

      They found me a buyer almost immediately
      Sian Belton - July 2021 

      I highly recommend Bear Estate Agents. They found me a buyer almost immediately (in fact they found me four buyers) and although I had a sitting tenant to wait to conclude they kept me informed throughout. We exchanged and completed today and I am over the moon. Special thanks to Jack who didn't pressurise me into selling with them, the right amount of personal charm, professionalism, expertise and knowledge was the wining formula. and thanks to Helen who dealt with the ongoing comms. Both were so helpful throughout. I'm over the moon. Thank you to all the team. I know these things are always a joint effort.

      Amanda Bullock - July 2021 

      From start to finish Bear were professional and were great at updating me on my sales progression. Ellie was my main point of contact and was helpful and responsive with all manner of enquiries. I also spoke with Helen, who helped assist with a particular awkward situation with our chain. Bear were recommended to me, and I would certainly recommend them to others.

      A great weight had been lifted from our shoulders
      Jon - November 2022

      Sydney Mackie is a great asset to Bear Estate Agents! My mother who has been trying to enjoy her retirement bought a flat through Bear and the sellers solicitors as well as our solicitors were incredibly slow, childish and unserviceable! Even though I work in the industry what was supposed to be easy was made difficult by our solicitors. Sydney has kept us informed of progression, outstanding issues and helped where ever needed. FINALLY COMPLETED!!!�� So thank you so much Sydney a great weight had been lifted from our shoulders.

      They were AMAZING
      Juliana Huiza - March 2022 

      Bear Estate Agents were acting on behalf of our sellers (we did not employ them). They were AMAZING they were very helpful, always updating us and keeping us informed of the sale progression (better than our Estate Agents). From the beginning of when we provided our offer, through to waiting for the sellers to find a property, agreeing the exchange and completion date and finally on the moving day. Throughout, they were super helpful, professional and kind.I would 100% recommend them and if we were to move again, we'll definitely use them.Thank you for everything Bear!

      Jo Gabriel - September 2021 

      I would definitely recommend Bear estate agents. They were very professional and communicated regularly throughout my purchase. Ellie, especially, who was my progress contact. She kept me up-to-date with where everyone was with the progress of their sales, through the chain, and helped to push through the sale to exchange before the stamp duty relief ended, which was pretty nail biting. Also, Helen, who I spoke to while Ellie was away, was extremely helpful and reassuring in getting my purchase through.

      such a positive experience with Bear Estate Agents
      Amma McKenzie - July 2021 

      This is the first of MANY reviews that I will do in my lifetime as I am having such a positive experience with Bear Estate Agents that I know that I will use them again in the future!

      We are in the process of buying our home in Southend and as we live in London it was not always convenient to drive to Southend for a viewing. I want to personally thank the 2 Jamie's!!

      Firstly a huge thanks to Jamie Phillips who was able to secure us a viewing at a time that was convenient for us. Jamie P also has a lovely communication style and was utterly professional and accommodating. Thank you for getting us in, we saw and had the opportunity to put in an offer on our dream home by the sea because ofJamie!

      Secondly, a MASSIVE THANKS to JAMIE SPALDING who showed us around the house. I have never met a nicer, warmer, sincere or more genuine Estate agent than Jamie S! Jamie put us at ease immediately when we saw him by his warm and friendly manner. He was SO positive about the house and the area that we felt immediately reassured about moving to Southend and buying our home. In addition Jamie was extremely professional, patient and understanding allowing us to really take a good look around the house and his advice and professional insight is what made us put in an offer immediately after viewing our home!!

      Jamie Spalding is an asset to Bear Estate agents and I am delighted he was the one booked for our second viewing!! We could not sing his praises enough!

      As I explained, we are still in the process of buying our home but so far our dealings with the 2 Jamie's, Rob and Ellie have been wonderful!! Thank you Bear for making this process so enjoyable and smooth!

      I highly recommend you use Bear Estate to sell your property, we certainly would!!

      Adam Grant - July 2021 

      I bought a property through Bear and the process was highly efficient and a great success. Ellie and the team kept me in the loop every step of the way and were able to offer advice when it was needed. All in all the process was exactly what we needed, it was a turn around of just 9 weeks from getting the offer accepted to when we moved in and it was very stress free.

      I would recommend Ellie and the team at Bear if you are looking to buy or sell a house.
