While Darren was very personable in person, he was rude in messages once an offer was made. I appreciate that my property offer was low and not accepted but the response felt very condescending and rude. As a young woman, I felt this was aimed more at my age and gender though of course with limited interaction, I cannot confirm this as fact. He didn't introduce himself at the viewing and appeared to dismiss me initially until it was made clear I was the buyer. As he owns his company, I was left with no resource to complain as to his behaviour except to leave a public review, which is not my preference but felt necessary. I would provide screenshots of the conversation except I do not wish to expose what could be sensitive price information of his previous sales. Frankly, the whole thing is just weird, confrontational, and uncomfortable. Edit: Just for clarification sake, Darren, the comparable houses we discussed were on the same street. The comparable you presented was a year and half old, while the ones I were discussing were from this year and were themselves larger properties and 20% less than the current asking price. I warned you we might be late by 5 minutes and we were in fact 5 minutes early. You also approached our vehicle while we were still in it without introducing yourself. Regardless, your tone was unprofessional and rude in messages, which is not disproved by your response. I am sorry we have had a poor experience with each other but I do wish you and your clients well going forward.

If obnoxious estate agents are your cup of tea then go to Darren. If like me you want an agent with some credibility then I’d avoid this 80’s car sales man. The choice is yours….NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
