I've had the great pleasure of working with Ana and her team on a number of occasions. They always give 100% when transforming and styling spaces and take time to adjust minute details to allow properties to look their best. On top of that they have great personalities and look after those working with them and their customers. I just received a lovely card thanking me for working with them this year, an unexpected touch of kindness.... Read more

Not only do the Bees Homes provide excellent service as estate agents, they love to support local business too! Ana, Lydia and Gemma have been generous in sharing their time and marketing knowledge which has been key to my business growth and development. Ana runs the Sussex Marketing Club which is well worth being part of.
Thank you Bees ladies!... Read more

Bees Homes were the managing agent for a rural Sussex property that we purchased recently. Ana and her team were a pleasure to deal with despite the usual stress involved in moving home. From day 1 Ana showed a natural ability to detect that we were genuine keen buyers and from there steered us down the path to successful completion. Thanks a million! Highly recommended.... Read more

Ive know Ana a few years now and when i decided to sell my first home i knew Ana would be the lady for the job!!
She staged our property making it look amazing in the photos which really made it stand out from all the other properties advertised on Right move.
She made sure any potential buyers were serious candidates before even considering a viewing which weeded out any time wasters
As this was a first time property sale for us she really held our hand through the process as we were very green behind the ears when it come to selling a property. Whenever an issue arose she was first on the phone to speak to all parties involved to keep the process moving.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family
Thanks so much Ana and team for all your great work!!!!... Read more

What can one say about Ana & Bees Homes, I have never met a more professional agent than Ana, her thoroughness to detail on how to present and market our house was out of this world, knowing when to market it, how much, you really felt she was working for you, not like other agents I have used who only want their commission and don’t care about you, not Ana she is with you advising you for your benignity not hers, she is now a very good friend as well...

Ana worked tirelessly as soon as Lockdown eased to market my property and she very quickly found potential buyers. The property demanded careful marketing and Ana certainly provided that, with a calm professionalism. The sale was approached with a positive and encouraging manner, which helped me, a single woman, to feel confident and comfortable. I would fully recommend Bees Homes Estates.... Read more

Ana of Bees Homes and the team that work with her are head and shoulders in service, initiative and imagination above any other estate agents I have engaged in Eastbourne. It was so refreshing to work with people who really cared about you getting the best price for your property. Ana is a top negotiator by the way. She helps you present your property so that it increases in value. Ana works with Anne-Marie Smith of MW solicitors and she is another big plus in the whole process, making the legal side as painless as possible. Scott advises you on mortgages and knows the territory well. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

When we decided to put our home on the market we contacted all of the estate agents in our town and invited them over to value our house. The “local” agents knew Hailsham, but they felt like they were out for themselves and some even talked down to us.
I remembered Ana from a local networking event and invited Ana to come and value our home.
What a breath of fresh air... Ana was knowledgeable and friendly. She was honest about our expectations and able to give us advice on presenting the house. Ana was approachable and keen to be our agent. We felt like Ana was in this with us as opposed to being in it for herself.
One other benefit of Bees Homes was that viewings were not restricted to office hours and Saturdays. We were told we could arrange the viewings at times suitable to us and the viewer, even on Sundays if required. This was not a service the “local” companies could offer.
We decided to go with Ana and asked her to help us sell our home. We arranged a day for the photographs of our property to be taken. Ana turned up with a plethora of props to help dress our home and make it more appealing to possible buyers. With Ana’s interior design background we were in good hands and the photos turned out really well.
Our property was put on the market and on all of the property websites really quickly. Within 2 days we had 2 viewings booked, both of which resulted in offers.
After some excellent negotiation from Ana we had an offer we were really happy with and a buyer who was in a good position to proceed with the purchase of our property.
Bees Homes were able to be on hand via mobile and text whenever we needed them, not just office hours. When our buyer had any questions we had a text or call instantly so we were able to resolve queries really quickly.
It’s been very difficult dealing with the “traditional” agent we are buying through when they don’t answer the shop phone, or when messages go missing. When we have had questions about the property we are buying it’s taken days sometimes just to get these queries resolved. This is a problem we have never had with Bees Homes.
We have recently exchanged and Ana & Hayley have been on hand every step of the way to help us with the selling process, even offering to help us negotiate on the purchase of the property we were moving in to.
We are over the moon that we chose Ana and her team from Bees Homes. They really have made this process as stress free as it can be.
Thank you!... Read more

YOU CAN JUDGE AN AGENT BY HOW THEY RESPOND IN A CRISIS!. We had a few in selling and buying. Ana and Bees Homes were there for us whenever we needed them, no matter the time or day.
The presentation of the flat, Ana took so much care and attention getting our property presented to its optimal potential (it took her over 2 hours photographing for the best pictures). As a result it was sold in less than a week of her initial visit and for more than the asking price.
Ana then helped us secure the right property and negotiated on our behalf.
At one point when it looked as though the chain might collapse, Ana arranged for a local builder to come out on a Saturday and price a bit of remedial work in order to get exchange of contracts.
Ana recommended a local conveyancer who worked as hard as the Bees and between them made a good team in getting the sale/purchases moving at a steady speed.
Bees Homes is highly rated and its easy to see why. Theirs is a personal and caring service with no hard sell, just honest and dedicated. They truly go the extra mile.
Thank you Bees Homes, especially Ana.... Read more

We have just bought our first home with Ana and I couldn't rate her highly enough, she made the whole process painless from the offer being accepted to exchange only taking 4 weeks Ana knows how to move things fast, It wasnt a problem to go and look at the property a couple of times out of 'office hours' Ana was always just a phonecall away 7 days a week with any of questions we had and I felt like I could make a phonecall if I needed any advice. Bee's home's will give you a professional and personal service rather then being treated like another number. I will be recommending them to family and friends, thanks again :)... Read more

"Ana provided an excellent, professional, supportive service from the moment I met her. Ana was, and continues to be incredibly helpful, friendly and nothing appeared to too much trouble. Ana presented the house beautifully and as such the first person through the door bought it. There were a few issues in the chain that caused a bit of stress at the end, however Ana dealt with it in a calm, reassuring manner. I thoroughly recommend Ana and thank her wholeheartedly for helping to make my dream a reality."... Read more

We have just moved into our new home...how happy are we !!
I very rarely write reviews but just had to let you all know what an amazing experience we have had from Bees Homes. Being looked after every step of the way by Ana and Scott, they made the whole process as stress free as it could ever be.
We sold our house within days of going on the market with them. They helped us with all communications from solicitors, surveyors, our new buyers, nothing was ever too much. I could call them any time of the day and they always responded promptly and efficiently.
I would whole heartedly recommend Bees homes. I would definitely use them in the future if the need arises. We had huge amounts of confidence in our dealings with them, so friendly and approachable.
From the moment we decided to sell our house to the moment we moved into our new house it only took 8 weeks ( including everyone closing for Christmas and new year ) very impressive and all down to Ana and Scott being pro active every step of the way...Huge Thank you.... Read more

After 2 years of planning to move to Eastbourne from London, we started to view properties almost every weekend. Very stressful. I was in touch with no less than 6 Estate Agents - 2 are from a big chain of Estate Agents, who simply opened the door and let me in without giving much info about the property! Some of them turned up late too. Then there's Bees Homes. Scott and Ana were both waiting for me when I booked to view 2 properties. They gave me enough info not only about the houses but also the area. The conversation flowed. I bought one of their properties in Sept 2017. I had to visit my new property a few times prior to completion and Scott made time to give me access to the property (even on his day off!) That's a service which is difficult to match! Ana made sure the house had all the facilities in operation i.e water, etc. Nothing seems to be too big or too much to do for Ana and Scott. They took the stress out of moving in to our new home. I would highly recommend Bees Homes to property buyers and sellers alike. Can't thank them enough. Simply impressive. Thank you!... Read more

From our first connection with Scott to the sale through Ana the Bees Homes team could not have been more helpful or commited to make our move happen.
The quality of the pictures, the attention to detail in preparing our property in the best light were services we hadn't expected. And they kept us regularly informed of progress and when we got a tricky patch they were there to help us out.
If ever there is an example of a team willing to go the extra mile and take the sting out of buying and selling property then this was it.
Would I recommend them? Yes in a heartbeat!
