Bear Estate Agents, Southend-on-Sea

Danielle Hawke - July 2022 Fantastic staff, we sold our house with bear, same day. Excellent staff, big thank you to Joe (Basildon)and Helen ( Southend) & team! Keeping me posted throughout the sale and purchase of my new home! Great work. Great team and communication. 5 star

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!

Claire Rumsey - June 2022 I would highly recommend Bear, we had a very difficult chain and without the help of Helen at Bear, I'm not sure we would've completed on our new home! Thanks again to the whole team for all your help!

Den Cameron - February 2022 A big thank you to the Southend team for their great service. They dealt with my sale in a very professional manner. Their communication was great and any problems I had they tackled them and helped to ease the stress. I would not hesitate to use them again and certainly would recommend them. Many thanks again Bear.

Max Waterman - August 2022 Bear were fantastic in both sale and purchase. Thank you to Kyle, Tony and all the teams in the Southend and Westcliff office for helping make mine and my partners dream move a reality.

Amitcuk - June 2022 Can not thank enough to Bear Estate agents for all the support we received with the recent sale and purchase of our home. They are. one of the best agent as per my requirements in the area. They are always on hand to answer my many and varied queries. Would thoroughly recommend if buying or selling a property.

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

Mim Ephraim - August 2021 All the staff at bear I spoke to were very friendly and always willing to help. Thank you

Sam Maczka - April 2022 Bear have been great, sold our flat quickly and the whole process and service has been excellent so far. Recommend to anyone looking to sell or buy

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!

Matt Thorne - March 2022 Went with Bear to sell my in laws bungalow can't praise then enough Sydney kept us well informed throughout and the whole team involved were kind and considerate in a difficult time. Thank you Bear we will recommend you to anyone wanting to sell or buy

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

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!

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!

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.

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 Ellie really looked after my sale and purchase during the most busy period when solicitors and agents were bottle-necked for the SDT freeze window closure. Thanks for all that effort - great work, great team at Bear!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Daniel Eels - October 2021 I bought my first house through Bear Estate Agents and the process from viewing to completion couldn't have been easier. I only had to speak to them a few times during the process, however Ellie and the team were very helpful and professional both on the phone and via e-mail.

Mann Sutton - November 2022 Sydney at Bear Estate agents is an incredible asset to their team! thank you for being so helpful

Lewis Munson - June 2022 We purchased a property via bear from start to finish was perfect Helen and the team was extremely helpful from start to finish! Highly recommend if you're buying or selling!

Akin Moto - September 2022 Bear Estate Agents are fantastic in my purchase, Helen, Joe and the rest of the team always respond to my queries very promptly, even when things seem uncertain with regards to sales, they were always there to support. These guys are highly recommended.

Philip Jacob - October 2022 Although I didn't sell my property through them I truly wish I had. The viewing and offer process I'm presently going through has been made a pleasure by the professionalism of Bear estate agents in general and by Rob in particular. Very impressed

Olivia Bailhe - July 2021 Great service provided, really helpful and attentive and pushed the sale forward. Thanks to Helen and Ellie for all of your assistance

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.

Becca Mardon - September 2021 Great experience with Bear, Frank and Ellie were very helpful throughout the whole process, kept in regular contact ensuring to update me every step. Thanks again.

Nico - November 2022 Sydney all the way! What a carrying and professional human being. I am so grateful for all her efforts! She definitely deserves a pay rise, what an asset!

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.

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!

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!!

Moyna Rooney - May 2022 The Team at Bear Estate Agents have been very interactive in helping us find a property. Jamie, Frank & Jamie have listened to our criteria and have provided a professional, helpful and enjoyable experience during our serach. Queries were answered promptly and viewings re enjoyable. A great Estate Agency - thank you.

Hannah Bailey - October 2022 We've just recently completed on our first house purchase & have to say that Sydney in sales progression has been an absolute diamond! When solicitors wouldn't tell us anything she was the only person with updates. She kept me sane through this whirlwind & I cannot thank her enough!

Matt W - July 2021 Recently purchased a property via Bear Estate Agents. Very helpful and great customer service. Ellie was particularly helpful in progressing the chain and made an awkward purchase process happen. Rob Plant MD was particularly helpful with sales negotiation.
