Ended up buying a different property but ao impressed with Tom's professional and proactive approach during our search. He took time to understand our requirements and found properties that matched them, additionally advising when properties wouldn't be a good match - saving everyone time. Great experience....

Never have I ever come across a company as bad as this. I purchased a house and was having difficulty with the vendor during the sale. Despite several emails and calls to the office, the team were no help at all; they did not reply to one single email, never once offered to assist in the matter (which would have been very amicably resolved if they had).
The worst customer service was moving day - it took me over 1 hour to get through on the phone to arrange a time for key collection. When we went to the office to collect keys the lady never even asked for our name - I could have been anyone!! she's never met me before. She didn't even look up from her computer she just held her hand out with a key - no congratulations or hope you enjoy your new house - NOTHING!
I have been in the new house over a month now and am still waiting for the agents to tell me what the house alarm code is......several calls and emails and again NOTHING.
Dire Customer Service
UPDATE: Replying to the lies provided by area manager below:
I have only ever received the memo of sale from Paul Carr Walmey emailed by Bethany. No other emails apart from the progressor at the Streetly branch.
Its correct I did call several times on moving day, BUT only ONCE did I actually get through to anyone at the office and speak to someone. It took over 1 hour to get someone to answer the phone! You can see my phone log of you like that only one call was answered. The solicitor could not get through either to tell you money had transfered and release key. One person in the office, when she did answer she told me how it wasn't her fault the phone had been engaged for 1 hr she was alone which leads to my next point.....
The lady in the office on moving day was ALONE (3 people in my family will vouch at her dire behaviour , that she was not on a call nor midconversation and that there was no one else there) she was not on a call, she was sat at her desk, THE ONLY person in the office. I also have only ever met Ben face to face at the viewings so no one cpuld have vouched for who I was..... thats more lies. Truth is she rudely gave keys to someone she had no idea who they were.
I have spoken and emailed the assistant manager Tom Baker at Walmley by phone twice and discussed the alarm, again happy to share call log. I should not be told about things regarding the house sale fittings via your Google review reply. Once again no one professionally calls or emails back with the information.
You have my number if you really cared and knew your reply was not all lies you would and should call me or once again, are Paul Carr not going to actually respond professionally.
UPDATE: NO CALL FROM THE AREA MANAGER TO FOLLOW UP!
Update Nov 2024...
Hilariously Paul Carr, who have never contacted me about this review or my formal letter to their head office, have just called me to do them a favour. You couldn't make this up!... Read more

Terrible communication and service when trying to sell a property. Were pushy about moving our property over to a separate auction house, and very quickly wanted us to reduce the price to make their job easier. Then advertised at a substantially lower price than had been agreed which left us in a completely untenable position which forced us to have to take it off the market.... Read more

I have had an incredible experience with Paul Carr Walmley estate agents! I spoke with Tom, the assistant manager. I had been somewhat anxious due to not being very familiar with the area. I spoke with Tom and it is very clear how efficient and knowledgable he is. He was very friendly, approachable and helpful. He was able to answer all of my questions and support me with what I needed. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with this agency and highly recommend them!... Read more

The experience I had with Paul Carr was seamless from end to end.
Jay made it his personal mission to find a buyer for my house but it was clear from the offset that he had both mine and the sellers best interest at heart.
I would highly recommend PC and I'm grateful to Georgina, Jay, Nick, Katie and Gemma for their hard work and professionalism.
They clearly work well as 1 team and it definitely made my life much easier! Thank you guys! And looking forward to working with you again soon!... Read more

I sold my house through Paul Carr Walmley in March this year. All the staff I came across during this process were very approachable, polite and they always got back to me in a timely manner. If I will need a Real Estate Agent in the future, I will definitely use Paul Carr again. I also used the solicitor they recommended, and I couldn't have been more pleased with their service too! Thank you to Georgina and the whole team.

Put my house on the market with Paul Carr Walmley in July 2019. They massively overpriced the house which obviously meant there wasn’t much interest. Pricing my property at £250k when it was probably worth about £230k! Our first buyer who eventually offered, it seemed like Paul Carr never did correct checks with buyer as I was told they were cash buyers when in fact they were selling a property which they was having problems with - which highlights the fact that no proof of cash was shown to Paul Carr. The buyers were dragging their feet with the sale, trying to knock price to eventually pull out with no good reason. I would like to say that this isn’t every Paul Carr as we have received a good service from the Erdington branch who do the correct checks and price houses at their true value.... Read more

The agents here are about as useful as a chocolate tea pot. Why I or anyone would sell a house through these clowns I don't know. Communication is none existant and every single one of them seem to have a chip on their shoulder. Very very rude when things don't go their way and they use bully tactics on buyers too and I personally heard this from the horses mouth too as they seem to think buyers and sellers can't find ways of communicating. It's reasons like this why I think why I or anyone should just sell their houses privately with no corrupt agents getting their beaks involved afterall there are plenty ways of advertising these days not like the old days plus no commision. Shame I couldn't leave -5 stars to be honest.... Read more

I wanted the details for a property I had seen on rightmove on February 2nd 2015. It is now February 24th and they are still not available. When I ring I'm told they are busy but details will appear when the backlog has been dealt with.
I rang a different office about another property they had put on rightmove a week earlier and was told it would be another week before they went to measure up and a few days after that before they would be available.
On the good side they will arrange a viewing so you can measure up yourself.... Read more
