Fantastic experience: Gary and Ben class - did best for us with an awkward owner on place we bought - 5 stars - and Gary has to stop going to see England or his wife will get annoyed :)
Fantastic experience: We have so far bought 2 properties via Sheen's in Clacton and their service is far beyond other local agents in particular the dedication of the progress chaser Georgia who gave 150% despite being heavily pregnant during our 2nd purchase.
Positive experience: Website was easy enough to use
Positive experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Informed well and know how to do their job
Fantastic experience: Can't fault the Clacton branch
Positive experience: Was OK but did not follow my instructions. Took too much off when I did not want him to
Fantastic experience: Very patient and helpful people... I would highly recommend using Sheen's
Negative experience: The only care about the needs of the owners of the properties and care only what they legally have to for the people who rent out the properties. Favorite saying "The Property owners are out paying clients and we support you as much as we are legally allowed to do." To me that suggests that if I rent through Sheens I am not a priority but I will look after your needs because I'm legally obliged to however thats all I will do because your not the paying client and we ensure to keep the property owners happy!! Sad
Fantastic experience: Very helpful.
Fantastic experience: Dealt with Roz initially when we were looking to relocate from another county, she was helpful and informative and professional all the way through. James was also great when we finally moved into the area and our new bungalow. Both always happy to help with any questions. Great team and would highly recommend this Estate agents.
Fantastic experience: The team at Sheen’s deserve their reputation as the leading Estate Agents in Clacton. They were thoroughly professional and most helpful in selling our property. They arranged viewing from many potential buyers and communicated well at every stage. Many thanks for delivering an excellent result.
Fantastic experience: I used Sheen's Lettings while renting and then used their Estate Agency service when it came to sell. Sheen's are a great local Estate Agency service. There is always someone on hand to help. You don't have to wait for the person dealing with your sale to help, they all pitch in. They also have all the notes on file so the service is consistent. Their fees are very reasonable and they work hard to support you throughout the sale. Highly recommended. Paul
Fantastic experience: I used Sheen's to purchase a bungalow in Clacton. I dealt with James from the Frinton branch. He was always contactable. He liaised with my solicitor. I would definitely recommend.

Many thanks for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Our property was impressively sold within 3 days of being put on the market and we were kept up to date with any progress throughout the sale. Thank you to Lee, James and the rest of the team for a smooth sale. We would not hesitate to use Sheen's again in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.
Positive experience: I got the keys to my new house from here. What's not to like about that?!
Fantastic experience: We totally recommend using Sheens Estate Agents. Apart from the fact that they found us a buyer within days of us registering with them, they were great with communication, friendly and extremely professional all the way through the process. Trying to sell whilst living abroad isn't usually easy, but Sheens made it straightforward and stress-free. We are so glad that we chose them.
Negative experience: Not even worth one star! Did nothing to help my daughter move into the area. Were supposed to ring her to arrange viewings on two properties to rent -she's still waiting for the call even though she told them she only had 3 weeks on her previous tenancy and is heavily pregnant! ! She gave up in the end and found a property on her own.
Good afternoon Karen, Thank-you for your feedback. I Am one of the directors of the company and would like to look into this further for you. If you can contact me on [email protected] detailing which properties your daughter had asked to view along with her name I can investigate. Please be aware that sometimes when a landlord is looking for a new tenant it will sometimes be marketed before the previous tenant has left. This can in turn sometimes lead to delays in gaining access to a property so this could have been the situation on why no viewing times could be confirmed for your daughter. I look forward to hearing from you further and wish your daughter well in the new property she has found.
Kind regards James Eniffer, Sheen's
