PurpleBricks

I had to sell my place and I used purple bricks and honestly. It made me feel like a moron. I wanted to kick myself. I had 2 deals fell through be the agent didn't know how to properly qualify the buyers. I had to fired them. I hired a local real estate broker at the traditional 6% (which I didn't want to do at first) however, I got it sold in 2 weeks and for above asking. I guess its true you get what you pay for. Don't use purple bricks unless you don't care about your biggest asset. It's clear most of the people feel the same here.

I have clients that were enticed by the service and hoping to save "thousands" - LoL. Their market and property was too unique to be sold in PB style. They got a listing on MLS and nothing else. They complained about support and help and were told it was the market climate and they just have to wait it out. Needless to say, my clients learned a valuable lesson and are now back to the full-time professionals that are fully engaged and active daily!

I'm so pleased with PurpleBricks. We have sold two properties with PurpleBricks and the process was flawless. Same service I would had received from a regular agent. Please, give it a try and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. They took professional pictures and guided us through the whole process. They did everything and we sold with them within days at 100% asking price. Our house was actually put on the market at the correct price range and we were eager to sell. So happy.

From the get go, Susan Beck was professional, genuinely caring and confident. Susan Beck kept us in the loop of potential buyers and answered our questions and concerns promptly. Susan always looked out for OUR best interest as "people" and not as just a customer to get a sale. Even though PurpleBricks has a set fee that is much lower than going with a traditional agent, which saved us thousands of dollars, Susan treated us like family. We absolutely made a great choice using PurpleBricks. John Jennings was also very knowledgeable and professional while Susan was away. We have had an excellent experience with PurpleBricks!

We have not even started to buy or sell our home with PurpleBricks. Recently my husband and I were interested in a lot. We sent a list of legitimate questions to PurpleBricks and the realtor was unable to answer so forwarded to the seller. After over 24 hours I was still waiting for answers and called back the company. Got the response that the seller maybe on a shift work, etc that is why taking a long time. Common listing of property size, property tax, etc should be listed and as an agent should do a follow-up with the seller. We decided not to pursue with PurpleBricks even to sell our future house (had a same comment from our neighbour that she regretted going with PurpleBricks).

Unfortunately cannot provide 0 stars.
We had the worst rental experience with the letting agent (Tyrone) who would think only about his TrustPilot review and the whole issues we had.
They respond once a week even though now it has been at least two weeks that they don't respond. They wouldn't provide the landlord details and won't fix anything that is supposed to be a duty of the property management.
I highly don't recommend this agency as they are completely unprofessional, they hire people that doesn't know how to read an email or would ignore your emails and let you repeat yourself on the phone when you call them.
A big bunch of clowns to be avoided and specially because they are based in Birmingham and since they are not local, they have no idea what is going on and they don't care.

My husband and I are so fortunate in getting connected with Mike Bernstein (Winnipeg, MB) for the purchase of our Home. From day 1, Mike was extremely responsive, helpful, patient and knowledgeable... He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy, he walked us through every step of the closing process. Mike EXCEEDED our expectations. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. We now will be selling our current Home, within the next month. We absolutely look forward to working with PurpleBricks, again...
Thank you, so very much Mike Bernstein!

All commissions from any real estate co is negotiable no matter what they say. You are in charge. Never ever sign a contract to pay if your property does not sell. That is foolish. You decide the listing dates. 2 wks exclusive to see what they can do. 2 wks more with multiple brokers/agents. 2 wks more to see if they are showing and give you feedback. That's six weeks. If progress isn't make. Cancel. All this should be in a written contract or don't hire them. This gives you control and a way out without being at their mercy and holding you up for months.

Do you think I believe all these 1 star reviews. It's laughable. The big real estate corporations want to put them out of business but it ain't going to happen. I used them saved $25,000 on a million dollar house and they were great. And they're the future. I went on vacation and bought some stocks with the play money. Bye bye monopoly hahaha

Highly recommended to all sellers! We are selling our house with PurpleBricks right now and it feels wonderful to only pay $499.- instead of being "robbed" by listing brokerage/agent who would provide exactly the same service (nothing more) but charge huge amounts in commissions for just sitting & waiting in the market where houses sell themselves. Listing Brokerages and their agents wouldn't let the owner deal with private buyers but if the listing is with PurpleBricks you get chance to deal with them yourself and don't have to pay any commissions if the sale happens. You can choose the amount of commission you are willing to pay selling brokerage (don't mind paying if somebody actually works) and you can cancel your listing any time with no penalties and remaining balance of $2,000.- is payable only when the house sells. Got few showings scheduled already and feeling very pleased with the process!
