Belle Property - Berwick

I had a very disappointing experience with Belle Property. Anne was very unprofessional and seemed to care only about securing a sale at any price just to earn her commission. She showed little concern for the seller. There was almost no marketing done for my property — no proper email marketing or broader promotion. It also appeared that she works mostly alone without a strong support team behind her. Giving my property listing to her was a big mistake. I expected much better service, communication, and marketing from a professional agency.

Belle Property Berwick were the real estate agent during the sale of my house. The agent, Anne, is a hard worker, and a speedy and responsive communicator. The house sold itself in a very short time on market. Anne and Sam's speedy execution definitely assisted the expedient sale. Being a beauitfully renovated and well-presented property in a desirable pocket of Olde Berwick, with low purchase price, I was able to negotiate an 'OK' price for the house, and settlement terms that suited me ideally. There were, however, several drawbacks to my experience with Belle Property. Many of these are common to all estate agents - the job thoroughly deserves its atrocious reputation. Anne set the price for the job by her own voluntary offer. Often, businesses will drive work by offering 'specials' or 'sales'. Nonetheless, Anne still made a hefty pay packet for a simple, transactional, administrative process. This bill was over $14,000 cash for approx ~20 hours' work. This is a handsome sum by anyone's estimation. Despite this, Anne tried to frame her work as one of charity, donation and goodwill, rather than exactly what it was: a purely commercial transaction. I didn't appreciate this, and found it exceedingly disingenuous. Anne needs to understand that, when being paid >$700/hour for a simple, administrative service, it is important to actively listen to clients' requests. Unfortunately, real estate agents aren't incentivised to get the best price for a vendor. They want to do the minimal amount of work to get their mitts on your commission as quickly as possible. As such, Anne tried to condition me that the house was the worst in Berwick, whilst conditioning prospective buyers to believe it was the greatest in Berwick. This was in an attempt to sell the house off to the first possible bidder. Other reviews, where Anne has been the agent, indicate houses similarly moving
