Housespotters Recensioni 

I have been in my house for 33 yrs So I was nervous about putting it on the market Alan was very reassuring and I could contact him at all times and I did ! I was also give an app that kept me updated on viewings offers ect I have now recommended my neighbour to Alan and he has made a very stressful time plain sailing

The business model for this company is to sell cheaper homes quickly. They seem to be good at that.

In my experience with Housespotters, they don't know what to do with more expensive properties that take a while to sell.

After two weeks of viewings, I got an offer way below the Home Report value for my house. Amanda agreed this was too low and I was right to turn it down. Four weeks later another family offered the same amount - and Amanda messaged me to say I should take the offer if I was serious about selling!

To cut a long story short, I went with another estate agent, who sold my house within 12 weeks for £41,000 more than Amanda said I should accept.

In the 6 weeks I was with them, Housespotters put out social media with the wrong address next to pictures of my home - wrong town as well as the strong street. Other social media they posted about my property either had my street name or town mis-spelled. They also did a 360 video which featured the wrong house number on the address.

They produced a floorplan which was inaccurate - it had the conservatory covering the full width of my house, which is incorrect, and they didn't include my garage and utility room until I asked them to add it in.

They lost interest very quickly when my property wasn't an immediate sell. When I tried to contact Amanda for advice she was unresponsive to my messages.

I came to realise the fixed fee means they have no incentive to get you a good price - they just want a sale as quickly as possible so they get their commission.

Another agent demonstrated that a bit of patience and knowledge of the local market was all that was needed to go to a closing date and sell my house for well above its value - rather than £25k below the Home Report value which Amanda recommended.

My financial future and that of my children would have been heavily impacted had I taken Amanda's advice. I think it's important for estate agents to be honest when they are in over their head.

I note on another website a former customer has left a review to say she was blamed by Housespotters when her home didn't sell quickly.

I feel I had a lucky escape in changing estate agents after 6 weeks. Just wanted to warn others that if your property is more expensive and you're looking to get the best possible price for it, this is not the company to go with. Investing a little more in a more professional service will pay off in the long run.

Amanda and Craig went beyond the call of duty when selling my home. They are dedicated, fair and honest - and kept me in the loop 24/7! They have many years of experience and go full out to showcase any homes they are selling. Would thoroughly recommend Housespotters!

We had our house sitting on the market with another estate agent for four and a half months, achieving hee-haw apart from a sore head and a growing hatred of Rightmove. Then in swaggered Alan Shields — aka The Property Boss.

Alan is a proper gallus Weegie and from day one he made it clear this was no longer a polite wee house sale — it was go-time. He took the reins, talked straight, suffered no fools, and got the job done. Sold in 10 days. No drama, just results.

Viewings were handled like a well-oiled machine, negotiations were tough as old boots (entirely for our benefit), and his patter, confidence, and total refusal to entertain nonsense were exactly what was needed. Constant updates, honest advice, and zero faffing about.

If you want an estate agent who’ll hum and haw and hope for the best, Alan’s no your man. But if you want someone who knows the Scottish market inside out and will fight your corner like it’s personal, Alan Shields — The Property Boss is pure class. Five stars. Job done.

Chose Shieldsy cause he is the main man, greatest estate agent out there a top bloke

I recently sold my parents property through Housespotters and couldn’t be happier with the experience.

From start to finish, Amanda and the team was professional, transparent, and incredibly supportive.

They kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

The marketing was top-notch, and the house sold quickly at a great price.

What really stood out was their friendly approach and genuine commitment to getting the best outcome for my parents.

I would highly recommend Housespotters to anyone looking to sell their home – they truly go above and beyond!

This is an exceptional company. From start to finish the care and attention to detail and support has been second to none. As a client I have been central within the whole process. Alan is passionate, devoted and very professional. He managed my sale every step of the way, removing all stress from the process. Alan is truly the best!! I would highly recommend buying or selling you use this team

Very personal service, Kenny was on the ball all the way through

Whilst Housespotters were not our estate agent they were the estate agent for the house we were buying . I contacted Amanda at Housespotters as I was having issues with the sale of our house which I thought would fall through. Amanda was great gave me the advice I needed to save our house sale and allow us to continue with the house she was selling. The advice was free and I firmly belief if our house sale fell through I was going to use Housespotters. Would 100% recommend them xx

Absolutely brilliant company Amanda and Craig from house spotters went above and beyond with the help we received can't recommend enough

Extremely unprofessional experience with agent Alan Shields.
We had a viewing booked for the 8th, but the agent, Alan Shields, moved it to the 13th because he was on holiday. We accepted this without any issue. On the 13th he informed us that he was travelling to Aberdeen and would contact us later that day to arrange a new viewing time.
He never contacted us — we waited the entire day. Later we found out that the flat was already marked as under offer. At no point did he inform us that the property status had changed, even though he knew we were waiting for the rescheduled viewing.
On the 14th, around lunchtime, I sent him a message asking for an update. He replied that he would call me “soon”, but he never called at all.
We later learned that an offer was made on the 14th. This means we never even had the chance to view the property because the agent failed to keep his commitments and completely failed to communicate. He doesn’t even know how much we would have offered — because he never gave us the opportunity to view the flat or express our interest properly.
I can’t believe how some adults behave like children—ignoring responsibilities, making excuses, and causing unnecessary problems. It’s frustrating to see such immaturity and lack of professionalism from someone who should know better.
We rearranged our schedules twice and were genuinely interested in the property, but we were never given the opportunity to make an offer. This behaviour is unacceptable and reflects extremely poorly on the agency.
I would not recommend them based on this experience.

They organised everything from start to finish. Organised the home report, dealt with all the viewings and even put me in touch with a lawyer. Everyone was very helpful and pleasant to deal with!

I was with a different estate agents and nothing was getting done wasn’t getting many viewers so a went with Alan at housespotters and as soon as it went on the market I had 4-5 viewers nearly every day in my flat Alan kept in touch daily telling me what was going on with my flat And sold it in 15 days can’t thank the team enough for this and would highly recommend anyone selling to get in touch with them great team

Had a brilliant experience with Craig. He was so knowledgeable and managed to get our home report organised quickly so our property went on the market in less than a week. It took Craig 3 days to sell my property. Craig was also very quick to respond and contactable. Thanks Craig - I would definitely recommend Craig & House Spotters and will use them again in the future!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outstanding service – house sold in a week (while we were on holiday!)

Craig was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. While we were away on holiday, he handled everything—organising and carrying out all the viewings himself with complete flexibility.

Our house was sold within a week, and he secured a price above the home report value. He kept us fully informed throughout, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.

We were so impressed, we’ve already passed Craig’s name on to friends—and he sold their house within a week too!

Professional, proactive, and genuinely great to deal with. Highly recommend.

From my first dealing with Alan as a possible buyer, I immediately took a liking to his style of service. Fast forward a couple of days, and we were submitting a verbal offer for a property and a deal quickly followed.

My partner and I had already spoke with other estate agents regarding the sale of our flat, however after the impression Alan left on us, we elected to meet with him, where again, we where impressed by his approach which ultimately swayed us to use his services.

Alan's marketing strategy helped us achieve significant interest on our property, with an offer being received on day 1. Interest continued over the coming days and we are delighted to say that we have today accepted a favourable offer over home report value that has delighted my partner and I, with the offer exceeding our expectations.

Alan's marketing and knowledge of the market is second to none. We were particularly impressed with his work ethic, with him always being at the other end of a phone if required, or with any news, even out with standard office hours.

I would recommend his services to anyone looking to sell their property.

We recently sold our home with Alan, and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. He managed to sell our property in well under a week and for well over the home report value — far more than we ever expected!

From day one, Alan was a constant source of support and guidance. He was available 7 days a week, always ready with expert advice, and truly took the stress of selling completely off our shoulders. His knowledge of the market and the selling process is second to none, and it’s clear that without his expertise, we wouldn’t have achieved the incredible result we did.

What sets Alan apart is not just his skill in selling — he genuinely cares. Even before our home was sold, he offered advice on buying, connected us with fantastic mortgage advisors and solicitors, and made sure we felt confident every step of the way.

If you’re thinking of selling your home, I cannot recommend Alan highly enough. His dedication, professionalism, and personal touch are unmatched. Simply put, nobody does what Alan does.

In the space of 5 days, we have had our property marketed and sold for £20k over home report, £40k over asking! Cannot thank Alan enough; from his fast paced, yet incredibly thorough and knowledgeable approach. He sat at our dining table on Wednesday afternoon, we ‘went live’ on Saturday morning and our property is now sold on the Monday afternoon. You will not find a better agent, or a better team beside him to sell your home. Everything from photos to home report has been seamless, and Alan’s marketing and expertise are second to none. Thanks again Alan, won’t ever use anyone else!

Outstanding service from Alan! A stress free process from start to finish and very professional. Alan knows the market inside out and was extremely informative and upfront.
