“Absolutely amazing service, from start to finish - I can not recommend Robert Cooney and his team highly enough! From the initial meeting, through the viewings, right up to completion, the service is professional, supportive and customer focused. The sales brochure is carefully thought out, with beautiful photos, to present your house at its very best - head and shoulders above other local estate agents. Excellent, immediate feedback after all viewings. There is not a single thing that I would change - a fantastic team. Thank you for all your help.”

“From the moment I called to arrange a valuation on my property, until we completed the sale of it 9wks later, it was superb! Adam was absolutely spot on when he came to value my house, lovely to deal with, knowledgeable and gave great advice..... he showed us around a few properties also which was just as good. Every viewing of my house was followed up by a call to give me feedback, and I accepted an offer just over a week after going on the market. Sarah, who looked after the sale from then on updated me regularly, and was great to deal with also. I was recommended to use Robert Cooney, and I've since recommended others to use them. A top class set-up, run by Robert, with a great team delivering amazing service. Thank you................”

“Professional service from all involved especially Lucie who organised and led us through the viewing and initial stages of the purchase and also Sarah who made sure all questions were answered to the best of her knowledge. I appreciate the patience and tolerance to suit my individual needs that could have led to frustration when there were delays but Robert Cooney made it happen. You went above and beyond, thank you!”

“We had a fantastic experience with the members of Robert Cooney. We were always able to contact someone and the manner of most of the staff was friendly and informative. The only thing I feel that could be improved is more viewing slots. Sometimes we couldn’t view the properties we had shortlisted for a good few days due to busy diary’s. I understand this does happen but it is the only matter that could be improved. Perhaps more diary slots and for longer for 2nd viewings would be helpful. Adam and Lucie are fabulous estate agents. They have been wonderful during the whole process.”

“The team at Robert Cooney are fantastic, it doesn’t matter who picks up the phone they are always up to speed with what’s happening with regard to viewings, offers and sales progress. They take time to understand your needs as a buyer and unlike some agents don’t bombard you with all properties on their books. I have used Robert Cooney for both the sales of my properties and to buy and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“We were looking to buy a house in the Taunton area since November 2018 and registered with all the agents in Taunton. By far the best have been Robert Cooney. Friendly, very professional, listened to us, understood what we were looking for, and were always pro active. We always felt that they were doing their utmost to help us. Highly recommended.”

“We originally listed our property with Purple Bricks which after a few months, we found was not the appropriate way to list for us. Our property is in a country area with 0.5 acre of land and the house needed a little cosmetic updating. The purple bricks rep over valued our property, photos weren't of the best quality and having to conduct all our viewings became tiresome. So we decided to get 3 more evaluations done..after comparing all, decided to engage Robert Cooney based on commission (1.5%) and we liked the rep. Once we signed the contract, we never saw the rep again who'd said to us he would lead the home opens with the help of other colleagues when he wasn't able to. Then we had to pay £90 for aerial photos of property (most other agents include that in final fee). We had to request to have those sent to us via email though we had paid for them. On a positive note, most of the viewings were conducted professionally, except when i had to request for a couple of reps to ring me once the viewing was over, so i could return home. Had to remind them twice. It does need to be noted that it isn't the best time to be selling a country property in the UK, due to the current political situation. Having said that, we needed to sell, so asked about how much to reduce the price in order to do so. The price was reduced by £27,500(quite a reduction). Though that increased viewings, we were now targeting a different buyer and much lower offers. We were never consulted about what our bottom price was, that only being discussed after an insultingly low offer, which we were advised by a senior member to accept ( much lower than what we had originally paid for the property 5 yrs ago). I also overheard a junior member, during a viewing, advising the viewers that we were very keen to sell! We therefore do not feel our financial interests were at all looked after. Then we started to be asked to conduct viewings quite frequently because ' nobody was available for the next few days'. During a viewing conducted by us, we realised the brochures being given were just low quality colour photocopies. With the second offer, we had to actually request for it to be sent officially via email. Much more can be said about the poor customer service we have received during the process of selling our house with Robert Cooney. We cannot compare them to any other agent, except Purple Bricks, which is a different way to sell, therefore not comparable. But we wouldn't really recommend this agent to anyone else based on customer service. We feel that they were not interested at all in getting the best financial outcome for us and looking after our interests. They were more focused on a quick sale ( which we did need) at any cost to us. We felt they were more focused on providing good customer service for the buyer and their interests, though we are the ones having to pay 1.5% commission. Commission is quite good in comparison to the other quotes we obtained from 3 other agents. The advertising was adequate, though the brochures were of average quality. We received a weekly report on the viewings and marketing reports and phone calls feedback after viewings. During the offer, very little contact was made to update us on progress by Sarah and we had to chase up, finding that paperwork had not been processed delaying the offer by 2 weeks. Conflicting information was provided on legalities concerning disclosure of previous building surveys undertaken. In conclusion, this was our first time selling a property in the UK, the timing and urgency have not been our allies, but there was much that could have been done by Robert Cooney's team to support us, inform us correctly during a very difficult time for us. So the score reflects that.”

““My husband and I went to Robert Cooney after having used a couple of other national estate agent chains with no results to speak of. The national chains did not offer the customer service, experience, and performance we expected for what we were paying. After switching to Robert Cooney it was a world of difference. We truly felt like they had our best interests at heart throughout the entire process. Moreover, throughout the process they were responsive, polite, friendly, and professional. You could tell that Robert Cooney didn’t have a high turnover of staff like the national chains do. With the national chains it seemed like many viewings were not capitalized on since an inexperienced and uninformed member of staff would be given the task and thus an opportunity was wasted. With Robert Cooney even Robert Cooney himself took the time to show our house to prospective clients and this made all the difference. It is important to remember that when you are selling a house, the estate agent is your representative. If you want to be represented in a responsive, polite, friendly, and professional way then choose Robert Cooney. We would unreservedly recommend Robert Cooney to our friends and family.””
